Cars from my childhood

Ethan, the cars we had when I was growing up were very different from the ones today. They were much larger and the styling used a lot of chrome and (in the late 1950s) tail fins. Here is a picture of a Ford Mustang. It was introduced in 1964 about the time I graduated from high school at St. Andrews. It was EXTREMELY popular and almost everyone my age dreamed of having one. My Uncle Charlie (my dear Mama's youngest brother) had a 1964 Mustang like this one. I'm not exactly sure how much they cost but I suspect you could buy a brand new one that was LOADED for less than $2,000. Things and prices are quite different now!

When we lived in Macon, Georgia (1957 - 1963), my Mama (1920 - 2006) had a 1954 Chevrolet like this one (ours was light green and white). We had a huge yard on Colaparchee Road (probably 2 acres in front and 11 acres total) and Mama would let me drive her car around in the yard when I was about 14 years old before I got my driver's license. This is a picture of our front yard (the house has been added on to and there are "new" trees in the yard).I love my little man!
