Through the years, my Dad purchased a number of vehicles. I don't remember a lot of them, but this one stands out. It was the summer of 1976 and we were preparing for a family trip to Disneyland. Dad bought this car and a new Prowler trailer. July 1976.
Dad loved this car so much he would not let me drive it until the summer of 1981, when I was getting married, as the car was being used in our wedding party. In fairness, I could have driven it before, but just never needed to as I had my own vehicle.
I do know I begged Dad to let me get my drivers license at age 16, so I could "help" with the driving on our trip. LOL...no way. I had to "wait" until I turned 17.
Anyways, this 1976 Buick LTD was an amazing car. Dad loved it. He certainly got his moneys worth on this one.
A good memory.
One of the hardest things I ever did was in the winter of 1992. Dad had passed away on November 27th. I had to drive the car around the area that Mom & Dad lived every couple weeks that winter just to keep things running ok. I cannot express to you how hard that was.
These are great photographs of exactly how the car looked.
