My mom was a Ford Fanatic, we had a '57 Ford Fairlane, you know the hood opened backwards. We all thought that was cool. She traded that for a Ford Falcon. From there she traded up to a '63 Galaxie Station Wagon.
I'm sure they have all been in the scrap pile for several years now, infact the wagon I know has been, I watched my step dad cut it up with a torch.

Our family car growing up was a 78 Pontiac Catalina with a 305 v8 and bench seats. Seating for 6 and a huge trunk. Had rally wheels and was cream in color. I used to call it Mello yellow -

My dad had a '61 Ford wagon, it got crunched so he brought home another body and converted it to 3 spd and put his engine in it.
Mom had a '58 Retractable I still hear stories about sometimes. Like how it took them 3 hrs to get their beer out of the trunk cause the top wouldn't come up. She said they were really ready for one by the time my dad got done fiddling wtih the solenoid things and got the thing to come up. They parked it for several years and sold it for $75 in 1977-78. The trans was bad is all.
Then she had a '63 Tbird and after that a '71 LTD.
We did the typical sunday drives out in the woods with the wagon and camping dragging a camp trailer etc. Got stuck in the mud many times out in the sticks but it always came out of it and got us home.
We don't look the same anymore so why do our cars have to be perfect?

It's hard to remember the cars from my early childhood, but I do recall a pink buick (or caddy?) and a light blue beetle. Then there was a myriad of chevy trucks, a Ford bronco II, an orange right-hand drive international (mom was a postal worker), and a 1976 olds '98 battle tank.Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.
