Attached is a photo of the 1953 Buick during the winter of 1953-1954. My mother, Irene, is holding me.

Attached is a photo of my grandfather's 1950 Buick Special in the background on my mother's wedding day. September 2, 1950. Going in to church are my grandfather George Guillet and his oldest daughter/my mother Irene Guillet.

The 1950, 1956, and 1963 Buicks were bought at Magna Buick, Northampton Street, Holyoke, MA. Magna was a Buick dealer from 1908 to 1998 when it was closed down by Buick on August 1, when they were reducing the number dealerships.

My 1939 Buick Special coupe was sold to its original owner on January 26, 1939 at Magna Buick. It is now 65 years old. I wonder if it is eligible for Social Security and Medicare?

1950 Mercury 2-dr. sedan in 1954. They traded it in to Porter Chevrolet, Cambridge, Mass., on a '58 Chevy wagon in 1958. I can barely remember the Merc., but I do have a hazy memory of visiting the Porter Chevrolet showroom.

Like Marc, my parents also got married on Sept. 2, 1950! This is a fascinating thread.

Attached is another photo of my newly wed parents Albert and Irene Brouillette before taking off on their honeymoon, standing on the right side of my grandfather's 50 Buick. They drove their 1947 Pontiac on their honeymoon.

Thanks for the great recollections and, Marc, for those great family photos with the Buicks in the background.

I was born in August, 1953, and rode home from the hospital in my parents' 1951 Pontiac 8 2-door. I do not remember this car, although there are old home movies of me riding in it. My Dad traded it in on a new 1956 Pontiac Chieftain 870 2-door Catalina at Meadows Pontiac in Portland in January, 1956. I remember this car very well, and, of course, cannot forget the day I became a Buick man. The Pontiac was traded for a new 1961 Buick LeSabre on October 7, 1960 at the Baker Garage in Baker City, Oregon. (My grandfather had purchased a new 1916 Buick touring at this same dealership.)

Born in 1969, rode home in a 1968 Dodge Polara four door hardtop, burgandy with black top and interior.

It's possible I road home in this:
But I better remember this one! Yes, that's me!
It was bought after I was born, my brothers and sisters came home in it, #1 sister was almost born in it, and my dad had it up around 110 on the way to the hospital.
It was painted all black in '62. In '72 I learned to drive on it, I painted it again in '73, lots of bondo and fiberglass was used to hold the rear quarters together by then. Taken off the road in 1979, moved around the backyard occasionally and then parted out in May of 1995.

Came home from the Huntington Park, California hospital in my fathers 1928 Buick 4-door in Sept., 1938. He sold the car to buy a new 39 Chev. coupe (canary yellow) which he sold when drafted in 1943.

I came home from the hospital in 1958 in my Dad's 1947 Dodge. The oldest car ride I can remember clearly is in his 1956 Plymouth Belvedere (pink/white! ). This would've been in 1961 or 1962.

Since it was the family car at the time, I think I came home in a 1952 Hillman. That was October 1955. The Hillman was replaced by a 1956 Buick Special.
