What car brought you home from the hospital when you were born?

[Guest heftylefty]

I was born in my grandparents' house, which in 1962 was considered really backwards and old fashioned. i guess that's why I've always been obsessed with old stuff.

It was October '54 and my folks had a '39 Plymouth Business Coupe. They'd had what should have been a much nicer '49 Ford but it was such a lemon that they sold it at a huge loss, hence the very old Plymouth. Understandably, my dad never owned another Ford product. My own three kids were all born at home with the help of a midwife, so they'll never have this story to tell.

Today, that's not shocking and in fact is considered fashionable in Hollywood but in the early sixties it was thought of as downright crazy. My mother still tells how they wanted to have her hauled to the rubber romper room when she and Dad went to the records office to get me birth-certificated. They were convinced I'd been kidnapped.

At any rate my first ride in a car was actually in a truck, Dad's 1960 International. I'm happy to report it's still very much running with its original driveline, but my brother had it repainted and reupholstered by Mexican lowrider types in Kansas City Kansas and a dopey sunroof put in. I learned to drive in a '65 VW Bug that is also still running and is also mostly original, besides having 12 volt electrics and so forth.

A brand new '31 Model A Tudor. I recall mother telling of dad trading in a '29 A coupe (with its lack of space) when my appearance became imminent. While the Tudor got away shortly after the picture was taken in '36, I do have 2 '31 A's in respect of it, a roadster and a coupe.

I came home in my Dad's 1952 Plymouth Cranbridge 2 door. It's still waiting in the pasture for me to resurrect it.

23rd December 1964 - I was brought home in a brand new grey EH Holden Station Wagon, after my dad dropped my mum off at the hospital and traded in his FJ Holden ute for the EH!

[Buffalowed Bill]

2/24/1944 Spokane Washington reported to have come home in a 1940 Studebaker Champion 2dr sedan.

I was told I came home in something like this but all the records were lost after some flood.

[Mike36]

They left without me, I had to walk. I don't get no respect! ( 37 Ford conv.)

[Dave Mellor NJ]

And they slapped you too.

I think I was dropped.

[jpage]

A two-tone green 1956 Chevy four door sedan; my dad's first new car. Had that car until 1963 when it literally rusted apart. I can still remember him patching holes in the trunk floor with sheet tin and tar to trade it in!

[Skylark4367]

I came home in a 1959 Studebaker Lark. It was a troublesome car and was traded for a 1957 Bel Air a few months later.

[Buicknutty]

I came home in a 1951 Standard Vangard, a British car made by Standard Motors who also made the Triumph. My Dad shortly afterwards bought a 1953 Pontiac, which is the first car I remember us owning.

Born at home on the farm way out in the sticks in '51. Doctor came out to the house in a Jeep. *I don't know for sure but I think I was the only one of 7 kids that was born at home and there were 3 older than me.

A trolley car. But then again, I'm a geezer!

A 1959 Plymouth Belvedere 2 door with the fake continental tire on the trunk lid. Slant 6 -push button trans. Red / Red

[Guest AlCapone]

A 1929 Durant ( in 1945 ), blue in color. My father was a very hard working man that held a 6 day a week job and did lawn work in the evening to support the family. It was not a fancy car but it was ways clean and and as he said finally paid for. Those were as often said " the good ol days " !

My parents told me I was hatched, so I probably came home in something like this....

Truth of the matter is, at the time I was too young to know!

Not just something LIKE that, Something EXACTLY like that. I have B&W picture of me next to it but no color photos of it.

[plymouthcranbrook]

My folks didn't have a car till I was about 3 or so(and then it was a 1920 something surplus Post Office model T, I have photos of the truck) so I don't know how I was taken the 3 miles or so home. My Son came home in 1975 in a 1961 Rambler Ambassador.
