Some pics of cars my mom and dad used to own.....

Post by terceldude »

I wonder if I could track these cars down again..... I'm not sure, but I guess that anything is possible! The first pic is of my mom's sister Kathy, greedily hugging my deceased dad, :cry: , and my mom and his old 74 Buick Opel. My dad said that "it could turn on a dime!" It had a 4-cylinder engine too, to boot! The next is of my mom in my mom and dad's old 72 Pontiac Ventura with a V8 engine that my dad went crazy, lol, and did donuts, figure 8's in and drove really fast to feel all the V8 power coming out of the engine. :lol: He was very proud of both cars. :) The second pic was also taken my my dad in the White Mountains in NH, I believe in the 70's at some point. I'll have to check what month and year the original photo says, but there they are. Again, the first pic was taken somewhere in Pennsylvania, possibly at their house in Berwyn....

The Buick Opel was called a Holden Gemini in Australia and was pretty popular - they even had a mini panel van version - made in Japan by Izuzu. When we lived in England the same car was called the Vauxhall Chevette.

I love the tones of the old shots.
