rowan782 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) Just read your impressive list of cars. I learned to drive on a 1954 Super 2-dr hardtop, burgundy with white top. Got my license and then Dad had a 1954 Century 4-dr sedan, 2-tone green, the seller said he had just installed a brand new 4-bbl carb, all of $70 !!. I mentioned the Century as a major part of a remembrance on a Facebook family page which I called "Once We Lived Large", in 1964 we went to Chicago and stayed at a major hotel - Goldwater's VP running mate was staying at this hotel !! My one strong remembrance of the trip was a uniformed doorman driving our 10 year old car away from the front door area. (We were more of a Super 8 family). And the car was a bit weather beaten looking. Edited May 18, 2017 by rowan782 (see edit history) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEarl Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 '50 bottom and '51 top I'm thinking, but I have been known to be wrong. Must have traded every year? Good looking family, which one is you. Are those twin boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowan782 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 No, certainly didn't trade every year. Dad never had a new one. These showed up on local used car lot I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
