NONNIE'S PHOTO A DAY, Day 192: Vintage Photo of Uncle

uncle in foreground Mom’s two-toned Buick in back here for fam’ly fun As far back as I can remember, I took pictures of my parents’ cars.  As I’m sifting through my memories, I wonder if my dad didn’t have an influence on the reason for that.  He loved and knew lots about cars. He maintained our family cars, the vans of the cleaner where he worked for his uncle and brothers and anyone who asked him for help.  I bet if I put the photos side by side, it would be an interesting history of the look of cars. linked to Jane's VINTAGE WEEKLY
