Thank you for sharing it with us. I have favorite family photos taken in and around the cars my father bought over the years. He never talked much about them, didn't work on them, but cars must have been significant to him because for my wedding, he bought a champagne and gold Chrysler because he wanted the wedding photos to be taken in that Catherine Laniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09457540593573242387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-60754146797849066952015-05-17T03:58:29.941-07:002015-05-17T03:58:29.941-07:00I come from a family of car lovers but I didn'...I come from a family of car lovers but I didn't catch it. :) However, when someone I know was diagnosed with a terminal illness, her husband bought her the Cadillac she had always dreamed of. It was a special gold model. I thought it was such a romantic gesture and they went everywhere in it.

I had a white on white Cutlass Supreme in 75 that was so lovely. But I was too poor to put gas in it, so it sat in the driveway a great deal. I lived in New Orleans then.

It kept breaking down, the fender came off which I had to tape up so we could make a trip up the Pacific Coast Highway. He finally gave it to the mechanic who had worked on the car for all those years. He needed a car for his daughter and we figured if anyone could make the thing run like a top again, it Catherine Laniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09457540593573242387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-23351161297929660332015-05-16T07:14:11.977-07:002015-05-16T07:14:11.977-07:00Loree,
