Cars Then and Now

When I was growing up we had some cool cars. This is my Dad's old truck that he eventually painted red.  I wish I had a picture of the Vista Cruiser station wagon with the brown paneling and of course the Monte Carlo.  We used to play on my dad's truck and my sister Melinda, the one in the cool glasses even went to the prom in this truck. I know you are impressed by our wardrobe.  Susie the one with the hat was pretty stylin' as well and me with the vest, I did my best.  Heidi Jo is the baby.

Then there is the white station wagon.  This is more of a vague memory, but I do remember being able to climb on top to wash it when I was little.  I'm not sure why we are never quite dressed in a lot of my baby and kid pictures. 

So the first car that I actually married into was a Mazda 646.  Then we got the red corsica, that felt like a missionary car.  We progressed to the White Ford Explorer that was named Rocko or Rocky, then the Saturn that the kids named Jamie.  The full sized van was named the Bronze Babe and was the most unattractive, but sturdy car we had owned.  Now we have Suburban, a Pontiac Grand Prix and our dumpy kid car is the tan Ford Contour.  Here is the next generation climbing on the top of the car to make sure it gets washed.  It's not really about washing the car, it just feels cool to climb on top of the car.  These kids are dressed a little more modestly.
