Old Photos of Your Family's cars! Post yours.

I was inspired by Bill Geary posting pics of the old family Javelin. I thought it would be fun for everyone to post pics of old family cars. I will start out with my parents first car. It is a 34 Pontiac Convert with rumble seat that they bought in 1949 just after they got married. In these photos they are getting ready and taking off from new Haven, CT to Ann Arbor, MI to start a new life. That is my dad on the right in the first photo. It was a classic pose for him over the years - hood up and him wondering what happened!! The second pic is my mom and my grand parents. She is 21 in the pic. She is 81 now and still drives cross-country, this time in a Scion XB!

Above - 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe Styleline Station Wagon 4-door, Tan with Wood-Appearance Decal trim, Powerglide, 235 6-cylinder, 105 hp, Real Wood Interior (Dad bought it used and it is the car in which I learned to drive. I got my license on February 7, 1955.)

Above - 1956 Chevrolet 210 4-door, Pinecrest Green, Column Shift 3-speed, 265 V-8, 205 hp Power Pack, Two-tone Green Interior - I owned it from about June, 1959 to July, 1963 (Dad bought it new and I was able to talk him into the stick and Power Pack because the wagon had been such a dog. Not sure how my license and I survived all the "speed contests".)

Great thread idea, Andy, thanks.
