Mom and Dad told me I came home from the hospital in a green 1951 Ford.
We had a judge magistrate in Barber County Kansas that lived in his Gremlin. I had a part time job as a wrench twister doing front end alignments at the local mechanic shop and he brought that POS in. I refused to service that car because of all the trash and stink inside.An Air Force buddy of mine got transferred overseas with very little notice,,,
He signed his beat-up Gremlin over to me for a $5.00 bill.
It was ugly as original sin,,,
But it ran and handled just fine.
I ended up driving it for an entire year,,,
It was actually a very nice car,,,
Except for that ugly part.

Brother's first car(in '71 or '72) was a '63 Impala convertible, same color combo iirc, and those blue seats were really hot with the top down. Also remember Dad having a '59 or '60 El Camino, playing in the back and those horizontal fins I could sit on.I remember Mom's '62 four door Impala. White with blue seats. Always carried a couple towels 'cuz those seats would scorch your legs in summer.
