Dad always had a Ford pickup and mom a Country Squire station wagon.
While neither was teenager material, both had their advantages to a young driver that dated and socialized a good bit.

Dad Had a 64? Olds 442 , Had 7 coats of imron paint, The door handles were gone and had a button under the fender to open the door, had the redline tires, and a 4 speed, Was a very sharp car, Then he sold it and they got a brand new 65 wildcat 4 door, leather interior, 301 nailhead motor, that car was very nice too....Probably the heaviest hood i've ever lifted on a car ,lol...

Didn't get along with dad, nor his cars. So a great symbol of his paternal piety was a peach colored 4 door Rambler (60?) he bought in 71 as a commuter POS that I refused to ride in or borrow.

Maybe not my favorite car my dad had......but my favorite photo of my dad and one of his car.
Photo was taken in 1954 after he moved our family....mom, me who was a new born and my two older brothers out to the PNW from North Dakota. This is the car he hauled us out here in. I think it is a 37 or 38 Chev.  Bill |

Would have been the 73' Grand AM. He had the order form all filled out. SD of course and was denied. Ended up with a Orange Honda!
In 77' he order a T/A Brown Tan gut 4-sp car no T-tops so that will have to be it. Sold it to a young guy in OH about 10 years ago with about 25,000 miles on it for 15K. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
WTF was he thinking? LOL
