My first car (like this one) thanks to a loan co-signed by my parents, a 1977 VW Rabbit in "Panama Brown," but more like orange. Mine was second hand purchased around 1979 and little did I know at the time that the 77 Rabbit was the best year for all around driveability. She served me well until replaced by a 1986 Ford Taurus MT5. Bet you don't know what MT5 signified?!
