I think it would be fun to have members post past family cars they were familiar with to allow other members that have interest in that model to potentially private message the poster and ask questions, etc. I'll start: 1963 Corvair Monza conv 1963 Olds F85 Deluxe wagon 1966 VW Beetle 1969 Opel GT 1.1L 1971 Olds Cutlass 1972 Opel 1900 coupe 1974 Ford F100 1968 Cadillac Calais coupe 1973 Cadillac Coupe de Ville 1974 Mercury Capri V6 1980 Olds Starfire GT 1980 Ford Mustang 1982 VW Rabbit 1980 Honda Accord LX 1980 Honda Prelude 1988 Honda Accord LXi 1988 Isuzu Trooper XS 1996 GMC Sierra 4.3 I've cut my list to only pre 2000 model cars/trucks and encourage members that have knowledge/past ownership of a large number of cars to show restraint as well. If the majority here think this idea is "lame-O" , I apologize in advance and you can ask wagonmaster to delete my posting!

I can list the cars and trucks that I have personally owned. First car: 1964 Plymouth Fury Station wagon second: 1987 FORD Ranger 2wd super cab. Two tone brown, named it Floyd.

My dad Anthony (1927-1993) had the following cars in order........... 1952 Chevrolet 150 coupe 216 six (bought in 1954) and his first car. 1956 Chevrolet 150 sedan 235 six (bought new 1956) and his first new car.. 1957 Pontiac Pathfinder Deluxe sedan 261 six (bought in 1959). 1967 Buick Special sedan V-6 (bought new in 1967) and the car i learned to drive in. 1974 Chevrolet Caprice Estate wagon 400 V-8 (bought new in 1974 by my dad and i own it to this day). 1980 Chevrolet Camaro 287 V-8 (bought in 1988 as a regular car).

Out of the handful Mom and Dad had, I only can say I've been in the following as a kid: '66 VW Bug cabriolet--Yukon Yellow with black top and interior '59 Chebby 4-door (rust holes in the floor allowed me to see the road stripes go by when Dad changed lanes) '66 Galaxie 500 4-door '69 Club Wagon Chateau (an 'optioned' van painted Pure White and Harbor Blue) '69 F350 Crew Cab Camper Special with a Kit Deluxe camper (the camper was so long, two extensions were welded to the framerails to help hold it) '66 Delta 88 4-door (this was supposed to be my first car until a trio of drunk/stoned b!tches forced Mom onto a sidewalk in downtown Seattle) '65 Mustang (its engine and exhaust had been modded--when Dad would come home, we heard him five blocks away--and that was in a hospital zone!)
