My Dad's first car was a Black 1959 Buick LeSabre Sedan. It was the most fantastic looking car to me, but then again I was only 6 years old when it got replaced in 1965. All I remember was that after a while, the right rear door would not close unless you fiddled with the hinge. Then on a big road trip to see some national parks, the reverse gear in the automatic transmission decided not to work. My Dad had to try to find motels with parking lots where you could park without having to use reverse gear to get out. My Dad only bought Chevrolets and Fords from 1965 on.

Our first was a 55 Chevy 4 door wagon, 2 tone tan and brown, next came a 60 Olds Dynamic 88 in a really nice bronze, our first a/c car. Finally we got a 64 Olds dynamic 88 in white with red interior. I've always loved wagons, maybe I should trade my old Jag XK8 in for a Vista cruiser.
