My parents never had anything worthy of remembering. The only thing that sticks out to me is my mom's ~1984 AMC Eagle sedan. Only because dad was perpetually in the garage working on it and we used to have to pick him up from work regularly due to the battery being dead or some other electrical problem. This was ~1987-1988 timeframe mind you...

My Dad was a car guy, but a little different from most here. He was more Road & Track than Hot Rod. Given his limited budget though, he was driving quirky imports rather than glamorous exotics. The two that stick in my mind were his favorites- a two stroke Saab 96 and a Volvo 122. He sold the 122 when I was very young, but I recall as an older child, years later,going with him to look at various 122s that he found in the classifieds. Even as an adult he'd tell me of various models he'd seen, especially enthusiastic about a rally model.
Last year, on the morning of my little brother's wedding, I went to one of my favorite car shows that I had been going to since my Dad took me there as a kid. I thought it was a sign that he was looking down from above, to see the two cars that always make me think of him, sitting there on the show field, just a few cars down from mine.

My dad was not really much of a car guy. Although he always bought new cars he was focused on his career. The first cool car he bought was a 69 Thunderbird four door. Suicide doors were cool. One time when my dad headed up north on I75, my sister opened the back door at 80 mph. The door held! The coolest car he had was a 72 Riviera. Still to this day I wish I had one. It was the car I learned how to drive on. Unfortunately he got rid of it just after I got my license. Probably the coolest car he would have had was a 56 Thunderbird. Unfortunately I came along and that dream faded.

My dad was a grand prix man. The one I remember was a light blue 64 grand prix. His next one was a 70 grand prix, wasn't too crazy about it. He had a 58 or 59 grand prix I don't remember because i was a baby. That car is still around he sold it to one of his freinds who still has it. See it at car shows all the time. My dad said i was concieved in it. Now that would be a cool car to own,

My Mom left my dad when my sister and I were small. The only thing I remember car related about him was when he put a splitting maul through the windshield of my moms falcon when he found us at a little market!

A 62 Impala hardtop, 283 4-bbl and three on the column. I learned to drive in that car on the hilly streets of Hagerstown, Md. I also got my first ticket for drag racing a 63 409. And, my dad was a cop so I got in double trouble.

Short list of choices:
'61 Vette vert 283 2x4bbl 4 spd triple black both tops '63 409 2x4bbl vert azure aqua/white top '65 425 hp Riviera hardtop midnight blue/black '66 GT350 white/blue stripes (don't remember the interior color) I have a hard time deciding. I guess the GT350 since it was the first family car I road in and the only car in this list I ever saw in person. Have video of the Riv and 1 pic of the 409. Don't think we have any pics of the other 2 listed. |

(455 that would spin the single track tire as far as my 15 yr old foot wanted it to)  75 Chrysler Cordoba (Corinthian leather) 62 Plymouth Valiant (I came home from the hospital in it in 62) Several VW beetles. |

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.
