My dad used cars as an appliance but the ones that I sat in as a small boy still have a place with me. First that I recall was 1953 Pontiac in forest green. It was a 6 cylinder base model. I recall driving on an early cloverleaf in that car and the words my dad said about the confusion. I tried to buy one like it when I was 17 but the owner traded it for $100. Next was a nearly new 1956 Buick Special automatic in white and light blue two tone with automatic and other options. Dad was hit by someone running a stop sign that and killed my grandfather in the passenger seat and wrote off the car. Next was a very long 1959 Pontiac Strato Chief base model in dark green. I drove this car. Next was a 1966 Envoy Epic that I drove a lot. It had a nifty 4 speed and BLMC motor with no power. It was worn out in 5 years. Last before I left the home was a 1970 Chevrolet Nova base model that I drove. He wanted no power steering and ordered that specially. It was a mistake. I had it undercoated so it lasted for 10 years. Then he got an automatic Chevette in 1979 after he gave the Nova to my brother. I got the Chevette about 1988 after it was long past its prime if it ever had one.
