The first car my folks had was a 55 Chevy 2 door, not sure if it was a hardtop or not. I'll ask my dad turkey day, thankfully he's still around... It was that dark pinkish color...

Second car was a 57 Chevy 2 door wagon, not a Nomad, though, it was a pile. I remember dad out in the stand alone one car garage (early 60's, typical) working on it...too often

Traded it for a 59 Catalina wagon. It had been the towns ambulance (was red). It was neat, but the engine would stall every other time my mom drove it, turning onto the street we lived on, twice it came to a rest ,right on the rail road tracks, she was pissed!!! (ever heard that saying "If momma ain't happy, nobodies happy"...LOL)The 3rd time this happened over a span of around a year and a half, the wagon went bye-bye.

THEN we got a 2 door 66 Olds 88, light blue color, 330 2 Bbl. It was the best. although I'd rather have the first 2 Chevys, if I got a choice...
