Do you remember your family's cars growing up?

From what I remember, one of ours was a big huge Chevy Caprice wagon that looked kind of like this:

When I was 11 (1989), my parents got tired of the gas guzzler and traded it for a 2 year old Dodge Grand Caravan that looked similar to this, only in better cosmetic shape obviously...

I had a Cutlass Cruiser with a 4 tech engine
30 plus miles to the gallon ,looked a lot like that wagon in your pic ,,,I miss that car still
I hauled 36 tires to the landfill ,tires inside and out ,the lady at the weigh station said she bet I held the record ..
When I came into town we looked like the hillbillies just hit town ,it was loaded down ,
get on the interstate ,set the cruise control ,crank up the stereo and the AC and let her roll
I pulled a land yacht with it that made school buses look like toys ,,it was huge ,,,the cops were directing traffic but they had no clue what to do with it ,
I got its air brakes off ,,hooked onto it with my tow rope and soon it was out of the road and safely on the shoulder out of the way ,all the cops came to shake my hand ,,they were worried that since I disabled the things brakes how we would stop it ,,
I towed ships and boats in the Coast Guard ,,none of them had brakes ,
Dad had a 55 Chevy ,traded it for a 69 Tbird ,that ended up being my first car ,I sold it and bought my first Mustang
@rckt148 We drove our Caprice wagon from Houston to Chicago when we moved in 1984. It was a long trip, but it got us there safe and sound.
