TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XI
Early on I bought a 1953 Oldsmobile from the guy across the street for $35.00 ... it was ( as Al might say in his best impression of Bernie Sanders ) H U G E ... If I wasn't gettin' lucky at the Drive-In it was only because I had half the neighborhood stuffed in the trunk
This makes perfect sense.

Okay ... My old man was a real character ... My mom was a traveler and we were forever heading out on weekend excursions ... One of out rides was a 1961 Brookwood Wagon which had the rearward facing back seat ... We use to mess with a lot of people ... On the other had my old man would mess with the kids of another wagon if they were ahead of us at a traffic light ... He had false teeth and he would stare at the kids until they felt uncomfortable and they'd look away ... when they looked he had partially dislodged his false teeth and was sticking them out at the kids ... It was hilarious
Tell me about it. $7500 in rough condition. No third row seat though.

He'd crack up while I was trying to yank my teeth out.
Forever everyone was after the nomads so the 4 door wagons were left to rot. I prefer the 4 doors!

My 55 was Coral and White. It's a sweet paint combo. They don't even paint cars like they used to anymore. Car design was an art form back then. Everything went to **** in 1971.
Coral and white is sweet. Especially if the roof is white.
I like the 4 door wagon too.
