Just a few of the cars that helped mold me into an enthusiast. In the first two, you see my father's F-250 Flareside and my mother's 1991 Camaro RS. Below, you'll see my Grandpa's Taurus. It replaced his LTD Coupe in the next picture.

1971 is about as far back as I can go.

I wish I had more.

VW?

Yeah, it was a Type 3 Squareback - probably a 69 or 70.

Nice! I've always liked those older VWs.

Don't have many pictures of cars in my photo album (parents have most of my childhood photos) but found 2.

Mercury Colony Park, taken before my mom knocked down half of the garage in a poor attempt at parking. My little brother (pictured) and I always road in the flip up rear seats.

One of 3 Ford trucks on our farm. Started driving those when I was around 8. Assuming that's grandpas hand since he was never without a smoke.

This is why I take so many pictures of our cars now. When I look through old albums and boxes of pictures, there are never enough pictures of the family cars.

Gotta love those rear facing seats! My friend's mom had a Sable wagon with them.

Granted it's a lot easier/cheaper to take photos now.

Excellent point. That's something us youngins forget.
