Haha, I can’t even think that without laughing. My dad has pretty much always hated cars. But check out this brown station wagon we had back in the day!

Not pictured: me. They apparently didn’t want an infant ruining their funny picture.

Oh man. That’s so similar to my parent’s old brown wagon. Theirs was a 1980 LeSabre wagon. I vaguely remember it having different hubcaps than that one.

The interior looked identical to this, except 8-track instead of a CD deck:

I remember the tailgate being able to open like a door or fold down like a truck tailgate.

From what I remember/understand, ours used to be part of a funeral fleet. It had little snaps along the headliner above the rear windows for curtains. It also had a wonderful smog-era 350, but was capable of towing my parent’s Jayco pop-up tent trailer without too much trouble. (Tent trailer was almost identical to this one):

When I was young(er) my dad had a green Volvo V70 T5 with a stick shift.

He sold it for an Accord.

Late lunch? Did they only have lunch? I have so many questions.
