The Chevy II in the back ground belong to my Grandfather and became my first car.

 

I think this is my younger brother and not me that mom is holding by dads 46 or 47 Olds convertible. No date on the picture but it had to be 1950 or 1951

 

Sorry not a convertible 2 door sedan

 

Not me but my dad in the middle, grand dad on the left and great grand dad on the right. My dad is 83 now, was 16 in this pic

 

My wife peeking over the door of the 55 Chevy sedan, age 10 in 1956. Sister, age 8.

Hello,

My wife’s family had a bunch of old Ford and GM cars. Their family was a Midwest based (OKC) with some living on the Westcoast. So, there was a lot of constant driving back and forth for jobs and visits. When they lived in Manhattan Beach,CA, they had a 55 Chevy 2 door post sedan. It had a v8, 3 speed and room for the whole family, including 3 kids. (10,8,6 a nice stair step family)

The two older sisters always played tricks on the little brother. He had no idea that they were scrunched down on the seats, until he peeked into the Chevy sedan. Then, he wanted to be inside, like “the sisters.” Those two were mean to the little guy, according to my wife. After one last trip back to OKC/Norman in 1956-57, the family settled in So Cal, near Knott’s Berry Farm. Knott’s was a ghost town, curio shops, chicken dinner restaurant, and farm back then.

Little brother, age 6 “Let me in !!!” Manhattan Beach, CA 1955 Chevy in 1956

Jnaki
And, I married into that family, for better or worse!!!


Manhattan Beach living:
“The elementary school was walking distance and the community was a typical {beach} city. The salt air was everywhere. (Fog was a factor, too.) A 55 Chevy 2 door was purchased for the family and daily commutes to work in So Cal. The three kids easily fit in the back seat. The smallest one loved riding in the back panel tray, feeling like a boy in a bubble.”

 

Big Brother taking me on my paper route.

 

Me and my dad's Olds in 1956

 

You cant see much of the 57 Chevy wagon in the background but the paint color tells all. Me and my father in 1962. I thought that station wagon was as big as a bus!

 

1959, me (and dad) with his delivery plus a pic of it finished

 

You should do a thread on your Bro's Hotrod...looks like a Sedanster......well you know what I mean...

 

Me about 6 months old in my Dad's track roadster in 1950, along with my mom at 19

 

Does this count? Me in Dad's '47 Kurtis midget.

 

Me and my Mom in 1952. Me the following year with my Dad and my Cousin and Aunt who helped take care of me after Mom passed away.

 

Dean you had a head start my first Hotrod was a red wagon...

That's Priceless...

​

 

Ohh my how sad!

 

Thanks @Stogy. Oh how I wish I could! I can count on one hand the snapshots of
The BLU BNGR, and I've posted them all at different times and places on the H.A.M.B.

Yer right...a Tudor "tubster", found in a Pa. barn in 1960 for $75. Three years later, we left Takoma Park, Md. for Long Beach in it...didn't make it, but what a TRIP!

Here's a "1st fill-up" shot you've seen elsewhere. Art

 

Actually Stogy, this was my first ride. I never did own a wagon.

 

I'd still be choking on dust...

Your Dad probably taught you all the tricks way early on how to scoop up those pink slips
one by one

Another priceless pic...caught between a making motor sounds...

​

 

Shutter....Bump that cool pic to full size...Don't tell me one of you worked at the gas station and used the bays after work to fix it up...I love these vintage pics...​

 

Here ya go STOGY, and I'll raise ya one to show OUR dirt-floored 1-bay garage, three blocks away from the Gulf station,

 

That's a pretty good sized garage, dirt floor but not bad...thanks for sharing those...​

 

Not me, but my daughter
