Vintage Car Parade- Part 2

I couldn't fit in all the photos yesterday, so enjoy the rest today.

Another car memory I will share with you was when I first started driving at age 16, my parents had come up in the world since the used Cadillac, and I had had my choice of either driving a navy blue Mercedes with a sporty luggage colored interior or a white Lincoln Continental. I mostly chose the huge Lincoln which was the size of a small cruise ship. It was a gas guzzler, but gas was so cheap that no one cared and it was a bitch to park. But boy did I love showing off my big car while wearing my bell-bottom jeans, platform shoes, and clingy, acrylic geometric print disco shirt.

Jaguar

Mustang Sally

Dodge-1968? I think my aunt had this car

Fiat

        Little Red Corvette

Maybe a Desoto?
