Dads 75 Suburban(uncle in pic)Me,age 3 with dads 72 Buick Electra-love to find one, and dads 75 Caprice,lime green with white interior. Maybe explains why I am on my 4th b body car !!!
72 Electra and 76 Monte Carlo,playing hockey Dec, it was double digits, not uncommon to wear shorts as a kid in BC throughout winter back then.
Me,moving day, 75 Gran Fury,383,drove from beautiful double digit weather to Ontario to move here
Here is 1st week in Ontario.Worst snow storm of century,Dec 1977. Sold Gran Fury when we got here and car was local for 20+ years and one year I even saw it at a cruise night!! Despite weather,glad we moved here. Id be homless on my pension in BC
Dads Demonstrator-Diplomat,Moms Gremlin.73 Lemans Sport Coupe-brother doing rad, stranded on roadtrip in Subury. Dad had painted the car, week later tore front end off rear ending a fellow. Put 4dr front end on, never looked right. My brother drove snot out of it.
Just like the plates I advised Connie to get for Todds 69(which she did)....got me thinking of when dad had one...so found some old photos of his cars.
My dad after flying around the globe 26x for CP Air. Quit flying as a pursor and sold cars. Sold higest amount of Chryslers in Canada 2 years in a row. Sold something like 378 cars in 1 year alone. I remember dad bringing home Corvettes. AAR Cudas,Mustangs as deonstrators. Last dealership he worked for in Richmond BC was Denison Chev.We moved to Ontario in 1977. The Gremlin,Diplomat,LeMans were here in Ontario.
I am not 100% sure on the years of the cars...but im close(correct me if I am wrong). Love looking at old photos of healthier times, well before.... dad and I got sick.
