If your family had a car when you were a kid, what kind was it? If you didn't, what form of transportation did you use?

Sort of like Stephanie Plum's "Big Blue" right Tracy?
I've loved looking at these too.
My dad had a white VW bug for years. My sister and I loved his Herbie car.
When my great-grandmother had the car keys taken from her I was given her car to drive. It looked like this, also in powder blue, but it had fins.
We used to laugh that I could put three people in the back, all sitting cross-legged, and no one would touch each other. There was an AM radio in there and I found a big band station. I jammed that brass music. I had fun with that car.
Oh My I had a Matador Shelly !!!
We had a Ford Galaxy 500..
It was green or blue- Cant remember - Kay and Charles got one after they got married.. and I ammixing up the colors.
I have more to comment on but gotta go !
It's hilarious to see all these cars.
Brown must have been the "in" color back then. I don't see brown too much anymore, thank goodness.
My sister learned to drive on a Turismo Duster. Oh how I envied that car. That is until the motor blew up. It had those black things down the back windshield like this one. Hers was brown.
The last car Daddy owned was a 1956 two-door Olds, black with red interior. He sold it in 1959 when we moved into the city.
Before that, we had a black one like this:
this is the car I learned to drive in
I remember one like this...
and this, but in blue.
my dad has always been a Ford man.
I remember 2 cars in particular. One was this car:
A matador - ours was like this except it was all the ugly pumpkin orange.
And then we had a Checy Love pickup truck like this:
Ours was a baby blue color with a white topper. We had it when we lived in North Carolina. I remember we started a trip up to WV to visit and a big 18 wheeler passed us and kicked a rock up and shattered our windsheild.
I have a really bad memory and can not remember much about my child hood. What I can remember is just little snippits of memories. :( I wish I could remember more.
Mom's cars..... in pretty much these colors!
I remember the Ford Maverick
The Oldsmobile Omega
And the Dodge Aries - this is the one I learned to drive in.
and Dad's truck - Ford F-150, but his was "Grabber Blue":
I'm pretty sure it was a plymouth. Looks like this one except ours had a dark brown top.
