    I asked my mom what the station wagon was behind my father in this picture… She thinks is a Dodge but I would like very much to know manufacture model in year if anybody knows… I’ve got a hankering to try to find one. I remember it vaguely from when I was a boy.
    If not, thank you for trying

    Looks like an early 60s Plymouth Valiant to me. Maybe Dodge had a sister car.

    To answer my own question Dodge did have a similar compact and it was called the Lancer. Name came to me after left site.

    The whole grill isn't shown, but I'd say a 1962 Dodge Lancer. My uncle across the street used to have a'62 four door that looked like this.

    Definitely a Lancer, there was a guy in Everett in the last ten years who had a four-door.

    The lower body trim (about 1/3 of the way up the doors) that goes horizontally down the side, then starts to partially arch up over the rear wheel opening identifies the vehicle as a 1961 Plymouth Valiant V-200 Suburban station wagon. ONLY the 1961 Valiant V-200 got this particular trim.

    We all bow to the Swami of Pastrami...
    *genuflecting*
    "...Salami, Pastrami, baloney...."

    Got a laugh out of that. Sounds EXACTLY like something the 3 Stooges would have said. Don't know if they did though.....

    1) The Swami of Pastrami came from the KIRO-TV kid's show J.P. Patches (and yes, I'm a life-long Patches Pal);
    2) the genuflection came from either a Max Fleischer or a Warner Bros. cartoon from the Thirties.

    I bought 2 of Red's paintings at his gallery in Las Vegas, the Financier and Freddy the Freeloader. Numbered and remarqued. Turns out they were the 2 most sought after of his paintings. They shot up to over 25K apiece when he passed away, but I haven't had them appraised since. Ain't too many who even remember him these days.

    By the time I began watching, Grandpa Tick-Tock was almost never used. Man, I had to strain my brain to remember that name!
    My mom was an LPN at Providence Hospital Seattle, and one time, KIRO employee Joe Towey (Nightmare Theater's 'The Count') had a coronary and ended up in the CCU, where Mom worked and she was one of his nurses. The upshot was that Chris Wedes (as J.P.) visited him day and night, in his J.P. persona, and would bring the staff gift baskets, baked goodies and flowers every time he showed up.
