History Just a memory before I was born

My great grandmother, pictured, bought this car new in 1959 with my great grandpa on the day my uncle was born.

 

That's a cool pic!

So I guess great grandmas mantra was "mopar no car"

 

I was only interested in traditional hotrods when that car was new and never looked at those other brands but now its a great looking car.

 

great pic - so, did they buy anymore cars when other kids were born?

 

Haha I wish they did and I wish they kept them!! My grandmother posts old pictures on her Facebook and this one caught my attention.

 

look at all the details on that rear quarter. Theres more stylin goin on there than all over a full car today! Lovin those fins!

 

Cool pic! Make and model? I'm a lovin' the hubcaps.

 

Hope they saved the hubcaps for you!
KK

 

I love the car!.....any idea what the color scheme was on it??? Looks like the inner door panels were a darker 'something' than the outside....I'm intrigued now

 

1959 Dodge Coronet or Custom Royal Lancer (due to the hub caps)

 

God I feel old.

 

nice....thanks for sharing....maybe a D-500 Dodge ?

 

I have no idea what it is. Maybe I will ask my grandma. See if she remembers.
