In 1978 we took the kids in the Comet to Disneyland. An epic journey. The whole back of the station wagon was a rolling bed where Fraser and Laura could loll, read comic books and argue. This was before seat belts so we travelled unfettered.
1986 GMC Sierra 2500
Good truck. Drove for 17 years.
bought new truck this month from Ted Wadland.
More cars?
Here’s some more cars, some of which are definitely forgettable.
1965
Bought this in London, we used it to tour Europe.
Back in England and on our way home to Canada I took it to an auto wrecker. “I don’t value it at nuffin.”
But he would take it for free so I left it at his front gate. more
1967
Studebaker(I think!). We existed on $500 cars: when they began to cause problems they were immediately traded for a “new” junker.
1988
I think this car ended up in a Dean Ellis sculpture,” Valiant Love”.
1995
Volkswagon Golf. Rust bucket, hunk of junk turned me off German vehicles to this day.
2001
Toyotas never stop running even when the rust is opening up new ventilation.
