This picture was taken in 1971 after we had moved from California to North Carolina.

This particular picture was taken at my grandparents home on Rucker Street in Greensboro, North Carolina. The 3 bedroom house in the background was the home my father grew up with his parents and four siblings. Directly hehind us sits Betsy, she was our green station wagon and she was our car until I was well into my teens. Betsy saw more road time then any poor car should (we traveled a lot) but she was faithful and true and I remember starring on a radio program and singing my heart out in the back end near the big automatic roll down window. (yes we are talking pretend here folks)

What fun memories! I remember my grandparents having a huge Oldsmobile like that when I was a kid and my parents later got it as a 'hand me down'. Nice picture!
ReplyDeleteWe don't realize how important it is to photograph our family cars. We make some great memories in those things!
