| The first car I remember was a fast-back Olds with an ooga horn. I assume it was a late 1940s. It was two-tone blue with a sun visor. Dad bought it used, and it leaked oil. We don't have a photo. The next car was a maroon Buick. I will try to upload a photo taken on Daytona Beach. I will not crop the photo so that you can enjoy the other cars on the beach.  |

| No, my parents did not own a dune buggy, but they should have for all the time I have spent exploring or working in dunes. Here is a photo of an Oldsmobile convertible at Sleeping Bear Dunes near Traverse City, Michigan in the 1950s. The car in the photo is number 8. An older convertible is visible on the left. The cars were two-wheel drive without flotation tires because Sleeping Bear rides stayed on hard ground. Wrap-around windshields became popular at that time.  |

| I'm trying to get back on topic, but this was probably my mother's uncle's car. The photo was taken on Thanksgiving at a log cabin near Coopersville, Michigan. The cabin was the home of another uncle who was a bachelor and a cabinetmaker. That side of the family had the surname Cooper. I was born in 1942, so this was probably a pre-war car.

| My mom had a maroon '79 Mercury station wagon My dad had an 83 Ford F250 diesel My dad is always talking about his favorite car though a '49 Mercury convertable that he had when he first met my mom. We also had a 76 Cougar that sat in the yard until I was about 12 and I was mad when they sold it cause I wanted it. It ran and my older brother and sister drove it back and forth to high school.

| A note on the back of this photo refers to my first visit to my grandparents at age 3 months in March, 1942. I assume this is a Chevy coupe.  |

| Here is a side view of the Buick in Florida. My sister and I had to do homework while riding in the car on this vacation. We still had time to read the Burma Shave signs and "See Rock City" painted on barns. My dad liked hardtops. His next car was a 1953 Chevy hardtop, and after that he owned a couple of four-door Buick hardtops.  |

| I'm really enjoying your pictures, heyns! What's interesting to me, too, is that some of your photographs are in color. That's cool! I'm younger than you and most of my childhood photos are black and white.
