Back when you could buy a decent running 1957 Chevrolet for around $500.
We had two. They must have got great deals.
Mothers was a coral colored automatic station wagon with a V 8
Dad’s was a black and white straight drive station wagon 6 cylinder.
I damaged my mother’s transmission by revving the engine and throwing it into drive. I ran it into a tree while being distracted trying to light a cigarette
One Aunt had a black and white 4 door. Another aunt had a similar car but I can’t remember the color. Fortunately fo me, my cousin tore up the transmission so when I did it it was blamed on the car and not the driver
