As I Shed a Tear or Two
It's really sad that they will stop making a Pontiac. We got a brand new 1960 Pontiac Ventura in '60. It was a beautiful blue (International Klein Blue - in the swatch ) with teeny little silver specs in it. That was the smoothest riding car in the world. It was huge inside and it was only a two door. It had a gigantic trunk. We absolutely loved that car and it was terrible when we had to go to Turkey for three years and couldn't take it with us. There were some truly neat cars in the 50s and 60s. I loved the shapes and colors of those cars. Those were the years of the beautiful shaped cars. And they weren't made of plastic back then either!!!! This will blow your mind - we paid only 16 cents per gallon of gas back then.

My first car was a 64 dodge dart. It was lovely. It came with a hole in the passenger side floor for easy disposal of trash. I also lost my backpack... Anyway it was push button and that alone made it the coolest car on earth.
We had a Pontiac LeMans station wagon in the 70s. It was really big with a 3rd row and an 8 cylinder engine. I think they were pretty popular.
Betty I loved the story of your trash disposal hole. Gave me a good laugh to start the day.
Jim I had a Ford Country Wagon for several years and loved it. I could haul anything in that car. You can imagine what all we brought home from garage sales.
I am pretty sure the neighbors had the Ford, exterior wood paneling?
it was paper that looked like wood.
My first car was a '73 Volkswagon Super Beetle. I got it in '85. It sat in my yard for 3 months 'til i got my license, then one month after i got my license i totalled it on a telephone pole. Yes, i got to drive it one WHOLE month...
... I'm depressed now..
Joe: you depressed me with that story!!
