what a sweet picture!

I remember climbing up onto the back deck of the family car (a Rambler?) and falling asleep watching the stars — unless we had the dog along, because that was her territory when she was in the car and she’d fight for it. Also recall the whole family (dad, mom,3 girls,dog) plus a friend or two piling in,then picking up Nana & Grandpop too, heading off for a Sunday drive & picnic, with plenty of room, as long as there were laps available.

Our Rambler was a 59 station wagon. It had a deep love for eating ignition switches, rear wheel bearings, and the linkage hanging up {Straight shift on the column}. At about 8 years old I had mastered the fine art of putting a screwdriver across the solenoid {down at the starter} as well as unsticking the shifter linkage. Dad would be at work and Mom would take us out running errands and shopping in it. I learned mechanics fast LOL. The next AMC product I ever road in was several Gremlins I owned as an adult.
