Cars of my Life

Cars of my life. Sounds like a soap opera eh? Well, it's almost scarey to think that often times I can relate to my life's happening by what car I owned back then.
Like my first baby, my powder baby blue '75 Ford Gran Torino. All the way up to my present time '91 Chevrolet 3 cylinder Sprint.

My first Alberta Drivers Licence - 1979
As I dig up pictures of them, I'll scan and post them here.

Family History:
'75 Ford Gran Torino -it's a taxi now
'75 Buick Lesabre Custom -one of my best cars
'72 Ford 1/2 ton -mosquitoe killer, meaning, burned oil!
'62 Ford 3/4 ton truck -almost killed me
'78 Chevrolet Chevette -my Buick banana
'77 Pontiac Gran Prix -cool car
'80 Chevrolet Citation -dependable and great gas milage
'78 Chevrolet 1/2 ton truck. Pretty good truck.
'86 Ford Crown Victoria -old hiway cop car!
'84 Chysler Lebaron? -gave it to my old girl friend
'91 Chevrolet Sprint -talk about a riot of a car!
View my brand new car, one that is sure to get the babes!

'75 Ford Gran Torino, 351cu in, 4 door,
had it from 1979-1981,gutless, but it was my first baby!

'75 Buick Lesabre - all 3 of them!

The middle one I drove had a 400cu inch engine, 4 door, was dependable and power to spare on highway. Bad design with radiators though, kept overheating and leaking the rad. Starter is in a retarded place.
That's the last time I'll get under a car at -40f and change something.
The other 4 door I used for parts, and the 2 door version I gave away to a native missionary.
Total cost to me for having all three was about $1,500!

'80 Chev Citation and my '78 (or '75 can't remember now) Chev truck.
The Citation was a good dependable car, my first front wheeler, and sure came in handy during the winter. The previous owner took a lot of the pollution stuff off it, and I got 40mpg! Somethings wrong when you save on gas taking that stuff off, means less fuel consumed, less exhaust, less pollution then when it has it on...
That car was dependable, and I took it everywhere. Took 5 kids and me down to Youth Quake in '89, and they weren't small either!

My '78 Chevette. I forgot to put in this picture the grille that I have on it. Got it from a '86 Buick Lesabre, and it fitted perfectly. Says something about the new full size cars eh? Well with that Buick grille, and a set of car horns off my old '75 Buick, I called this car my Bic Banana! My first small car, and it was a riot.
