Oct. 21, 1942: Mom brought me home in her (and Dad's) '37 Ford Tudor slant-back, V8 85, with Columbia 2-spd axle. (rode in that car many times, Dad used to bet other truckers that it would do 85 in second. They always scoffed, and he always won the bet.

 

My grandfathers (brand new at the time) 1950 Caddy convertible.

 

April 1945. A 40 Chevrolet coupe.

 

1937 Chrysler Aire Flow

 

Blown 36 Chevy Coupe...Ol Blue! 1979..it was the 1st Street Rod around this area from what I am told. Tires outside the fenders, keystones, raked, big motor, My 1st ride. 4 years later my sister was brought home in 79 vette. I need to get some pics posted...I still see ol blue around...not blue anymore last I seen!

 

Plain Jane '34 Ford coupe',,,it was 1939, my Dad was never a "car "guy,, but he had some neat stuff in retrospect, a '37 coupe after the '34,,,then a '39 Ply' coach,,,then a '50 Ply' woodie,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

56 Buick, got the pic but would'n scan very good.

My Grandad and my Dad's philosophy, own a Buick car and a Chevy truck

 

1941 Buick on October 5 1943.

 

I don't know about me, can't ask my mom, she's dead, but my daughter came home in my 1957 Chevy Belair in 1990, in a basket on the backseat. She was a preemie, only 4 lbs when they let her out after six weeks in an incubator. She's in college now, time flies.

 

Took my son home in an '84 RWD LeSabre coupe - my first lowering job and engine swap (307 Olds to 403) - Dec. 1996.

Mom says I came home in Dad's white '61 Falcon Tudor wagon -Dec. 1974.

Grandma tells me that Mom came home in Great-Grandpa's nearly new '58 348 Tripower Nomad - Oct. 1958.

 

1956 Pontiac Star Chief

 

The car I came home in is irrelevant. What IS relevant is that the '55 nomad that Big Jack Byers was painting(only thing left to paint was the tailgate)had to a complete stop because dad was still at work, and mom's water broke with me- remains primed but unpainted, to this day, since july of 1970. I've never wanted a nomad so bad. How poetic.

 

Austin Healey 3000. I went to the hospital in the mom shown in the same photo.
