What kind of car(s) did your family have when you were growing up?

When I was young, we had a late 70's Chevy Caprice station wagon that looked kind of like this:


Eventually when I was 12 years old, they sold the old gas guzzler for a late 80's Plymouth minivan similar to this...

We had a Caprice Estate wagon (ours was brown)....great car! We had a family of 10 (I have 7 siblings), and it wasn’t uncomfortable.
After a while, some of us moved out & my parents bought a Toyota Corona (later replaced by the Camry).

My father was in sales so drove a long succession of basic 4 door American sedans, all company cars. My mother drove a 1958 Jeep wagon, no power steering, no power brakes, no nothin, which eventually became my first car.
@Rambler No power steering [b]or[/b] power brakes? Holy cow...

My mother was not big, but she was strong ... manual transmission too of course so she was shifting gears while wrestling with the big steering wheel @latinbutterfly

My Mom had several different cars but the ones I remember the best are a Grand Am, an Acura, a Honda Prelude and a Plymouth Breeze. The Breeze was my favorite and I eventually bought it from her and drove it for a couple of years.

Whatever was cheapest. The worst was a '61 white Plymouth, standard transmission, no A/C.

@exexec My dad was the same way with cars, base model, no options except for automatic transmission.

@SW-User and no right mirror I guess.

@Seewhoitis Of course not!

I think that that's the one the Griswold's had in "National Lampoon's Vocation."
@Seewhoitis I think theirs was based on a Ford Crown Vic wagon, wasn't it?

@latinbutterfly Could be. Some of those cars were related back then.

never owned a car. Too expensive, and public transportation is cheap and really good in Singapore

My dad had a couple of Chrysler’s when I was young, then had a Jaguar. His last car was a Mercedes.

This is the one my dad drove for ages when I was a kid:

This was what my mom drove the longest:

I remember we had Toyota’s and then camaro’s, Z28’s and a corvette. All of them sucked.

Earliest car I can remember was a Volkswagen dune buggy and it was fast
My dad was strictly a Cadillac man.
My dad had one of these for years
