My dad would love to have that car back too. I don't know why. I would've rather had Cat's parent's car. Dad was just talking about that car to me today. He loved it. He said he was getting like 35mpg out of that thing back then. He could drive 150 miles a day for 4 days every week and never spent more than $10 for gas. Ubelievable, huh??

73 Charger, it was a big green machine, it had no power steering, I remember my mom really having to crank on the steering wheel to turn it.

I just remember that my mom had a big old 70's orange ford van with orange wall to wall shag carpeting

My folks had a 1938 Dodge. That is the first one I remember. It was grey and had the "suicide" doors on it. They traded it in on a 1947 Chrysler New Yorker, maroon in color. That thing had a hood on it that was as long as the hood on a long nose Pete. I can remember one or the neighbors telling my mother she was "gonna fold that thing up like an accordion someday."

My dad had a company pickup truck that was a 1950 Chevy, the color was a "baby diarrhea brownish - green."

I think it was a Stanley Steamer

Yesterday my dad was also telling me more about the pick-up he had when I was born. He bought a brand new 1970 Ford half ton (not sure if it was a F150 or F100) for $2000. Paid cash for it. He drove that thing for years back and forth to Joliet from our little hick town about 45 minutes north of Champaign, IL. He said he had to unplug the speedometer on it to keep it under the warranty mileage. Evidently some genius at Ford decided it would be a good idea to have plastic timing gears on that thing. Dad said he was constantly in and out of the dealership with that thing. Finally the owner told him he'd put a cast iron timing gear on there if Dad would plug the speedometer back in. LOL

Well, lets see. Dad had a full dress electro glide. Nice harley. The 1st car I remember was the ole chevy station wagon that I left teeth imprints in the dash when he had to stop fast. I was standing or sitting in the front seat. Don't remember I was too young. I was old enough to have some teeth because the imprint was in the dash years later. I remember when he bought mom a 1967 chevy impala.

The first car I remember my dad having was a(I think it was an 84) vette, I remember it was green and I hated it because it was only a two seater and I hated going anywhere without my mom and sisters.

The first car I remember my mom having was a black 1981-1982 Mercedes-Benz station wagon...I remember it had a rear facing backseat and I would make faces at people in cars behind us...It was a loud car (it had a diesel) and by the time my mom bought a new car a few years later my sister's and I had the interior completely demolished, I would stick pencils in the headliner and seats( I am honestly surprised my butt is still not red...lol). My parents did not keep cars for very long(especially my dad) so I don't have a lot of
memory's of specific cars...
