Here's Dad's Canyon copper 59 Catalina tri power 389 3 speed on the column which was very quickly converted to floor shift using Corvette parts. The column shift didn't like to be power shifted. I have to ask all the particulars but had a lot of mods done to it. Had a Mckellar cam and some sort of Nascar take off heads. He did a lot of street racing with it.
Second pic is his 63 Tempest convertible. 326 I believe. Third pic is his 69 Amc SC/Rambler. He had a few group 19 parts on it and raced it for awhile then met my mother and sold it a few years later.

They didn't have electricity until they moved to Michigan in 1955, in search of jobs in "the shop". I can't complain about what General Motors has done for my family, both through my dad and me. K

I remember when we would take weekend trips out of Memphis to visit the "Kin" in other parts of TN and Missouri .... as a child I thought the no electricity, outhouse and bucket on the well were "cool" .... because of course I didn't have to live there.

Dad in 1966, next to the 64 wagon, and behind his 59 Bonneville convertible (389/3x2/4sp).
He and I in 1972-ish, in a family favorite picture, with dad holding up the power line. And his granddaughter (my niece Shelby) next to his Studebaker with Pontiac power (since 1959!)

My grandparents in Eastern Kentucky had this kinda set-up. They did have some electricity though. I thought the outhouse was cool until they found a snake in there. That was enough for me. I used the woods from then on (kid logic). I couldn't wrap my head around the fact they got water from the ground and not a spigot. Tasted weird also. I LOVED visiting them though. You could run for hours and not see another person. For a city kid this was pretty exotic.

A little farther back than Mom & Dad. Here's my great grandfather, proudly posing with his new 1927 Pontiac Landau Sedan.

1. My Mother on the top. The vehicle has wheels and is a truck, so I guess that counts. She was the football queen at her high school in 1937.
2. At the beach at or close to Santa Monica. This must have been late '44 or early '45. The baby is my sister, standing is me, then my Dad and his Mom. I've got more somewhere, I just have to find the files. |

This is February 1941. Left to right: my Dad; me; my Mom, and my Dad's sister. It was taken near Malibu, CA.

Here's one of my favorites. The picture was taken in early 1944. Although the main subject is a motorcycle, you can see a "fat" fender in the lower left. On the far right is my Dad. Just above the fender of the car is a small head - me.

OMT's dad= Bada$$. Stylish, too. And he was a decade ahead of Brando, to boot! Did he work in the marine industry? Great photos, guys!

No. At that time he was a tool designer, and later a mechanical engineer.
