My parents split before i started school.
Dad almost immediately bought a 63 Vette White split-window 4spd sidepipes.
And proceeded to be a textbook ladies man of the day and time.

He took me to my first day of school in that car in 1970.
I was "the Corvette kid" all year.

But my favotite was his next car.
He traded the 63 in on a brand new 72 Stingray Vert
Deep Blue Met - Blk top - Auto - AC - sidepipes.

About a year or so later he re-married and she made him sell it.

Took my drivers test in 79 using his his 75-76 Olds98 cargo-barge.
Test guy told me to never park the car on the street anywhere-
there wouldn't be enough room between fire hydrants and i'd get a ticket.
Only asked to drive it once afterwards.
