[charry]

My Dad Had A Small Green Car , With A Wheel On The Boot , i think it Was austin A40......1958

but i remember His Black Standard Vanguard more !!! 1960

All the Taxi drivers had Standard Vanguards, might put a pic on. The first car in our house was an old Standard 8 with a cracked block, which was soon changed to a Hillman Minx.
My first car was a Ford Consul Convertible, clapped out, but a great passion waggon.

A Corvair.

My father had a Vauxhall Viva in the late 1970s, the only family car we ever had, actually. Light blue: I believe it was called 'Saxon blue'.

The car was written off after a rear end shunt from a d dark blue Morris Marina driven by my aunt on a family trip to Wales.

My maternal grandfather owned a pale green Morris Minor.

I remember when my dad got a 1941 ford. I remember an earlier car but don't know what it was.

 

[Lewkat]

This is a 1936 Chevy Sedan, which is just like what I remember my father first owning.

 

[hawkdon]

Not sure about this, but I believe it was a Plymouth, 40's something model...best i can remember....

 

[rgp]

Remember vaguely ? .... My dad had a '46' Hudson .... I remember more clearly the maroon '49' Hudson he had .

 

[debodun]

I think this was a Plymouth and a sickly green color.

Something like this…but as we kids were born as the years went by we had station wagons

 

[Jackie23]

I remember a new mid fifties black Ford Fairlane...we loaded that new car up and drove to Fallbrook California to visit relatives....I remember my best friend and I stuffed out big crimson slips under the seats after my mother told us we could not take them....lol. it was a grand trip.

 

[Amelia B]

My first car was this model— same color as this also! I loved it. I got it in1982, so it was not new but I fixed it up.

Father was legally blind, mother had drivers license but didn't drive so a car was not family transportation until I turned 16. I didn't like the car my father chose, it was a 1952 Plymouth. Better known now as a beater car. I admit my father was right to use that as a car to learn on even though I got my license at 16. Never drove before age 16 but was able to pass the test two weeks after I turned 16.

[Pinky]

Dodge .. early 50's.
Pre-my entrance .. the family had a Willie's Overland (spelling?)

 

[fuzzybuddy]

My family's first car that I remember- a 1954 Nash Ambassador. When your friends drive up in a '57 Chevy with fins, and you crawl up in that thing!!!!!!

 

[oldaunt]

A dark green 1948 Plymouth sedan. I even have a pic of it with me sitting on a bumper.

That's an Oldsmobile . '53' I think.

 

[debodun]

That's an Oldsmobile . '53' I think.

Well, I was very young at the time. Even today I can't tell car makes apart.

After you corrected the make, I went on a Olds hunt and this is the kinda the color I remember it being.

 

[Teacher Terry]

My dad worked for Nash Motors so that’s all he would have which later became American Motors.

 

[Wayne]

Surplus ww2 army Jeep with 2nd gear and reverse, no brakes though. I pulled cotton trailers to the suction with it. I paid $50 for it and had to have it in my job for work, never got stuck in it though.

 

[Paladin1950]

1950 Studebaker Champion (the old bullet nose). It's always been my favorite classic car. We had it for awhile in Rochester, NY when I was a child. It wasn't this color of course.

 

[Llynn]

1938 Chevrolet 4 door sedan with a badly oxidized mint green paint job.

 

[CallMeKate]

I can picture it, but I don't know what kind it was... *maybe* an Impala from the 60s. Besides that, though, my dad had a cool little Renault he used for work.
