Just some old photos of mom and dad. Anyone else have some old pics of ma and pa with cool cars?
Mom was 20 in the picture in Australia, and like I said before, she only dated the guys with a BSA, Triumph, or an MG! It was taken in 1956.

Dad and his 67 Impala. In his early 20's taken around 1969 or 70.

here's mine....cute couple and their gang....

oops, wrong pic..

Here are a couple with my grandpa. He sparked my mechanical abilities and my appreciation for cars.

My grandfather is on the right. The car is a Whippet.


And here he is again, showing the styling difference between his luxurious Chrysler and the sporty AMC.

So he owned 1 of the 6 AMX/3's!!!!!!!! Where is it now!!!!

That car was at the time a road test car. The next door neighbor was an engineer and had the car for a long, long time while they refined it. It had Manufacturer plates on it. My grandpa helped with one thing...use of AN fittings on the cooling system, as it kept popping radiator hoses off with normal tower clamps. I rode in the car several times.

Once the project was scrapped, that car was bought by Richard Teague. It is in the San Diego Auto Museum, and shows a few modifications since built...bright red paint, a right side mirror (Teague had vision problems), and a few other light mods.

I have a pretty good collection of pics and docs on these cars, including several more backyard snapshots.

Couldn't find any good pics of my parents in the 60's, but here's one of me instead.

The place is Varberg, west coast of Sweden, appr. 1967. Grandpa worked at the big bicycle factory, Monark, so I always rode the most heavily customized bike in the neighborhood. Behind me is dad's 1965 Opel Rekord, also you can also catch a glimpse of the rear of a Volvo Duett, belonging to dad's construction company.

Ma's car was the fastest in three counties for 7 years running...


Pit crew.

Cars were not toys to my father, so car/people pictures never existed. Yeah, he sparked my interest in working on cars: I started wrenching at age 8 because I could weasel into areas he couldn't.

He was a hard core mopar man, and out of the compitition's lineup, he detested GM products. And out of the GM lineup, he absolutly despised Pontiacs the worse. And regardless to make, he shared just as much haterid for 'shark' cars aka toys.

At age 19, 31 years ago, I guess it was my destiny to buy a shark car made by the manafacturere he hated the most.

Kick [censored] bike, Snowcruiser. Speedomer and generator?

Here's Dad

THAT is a KILLER schwin (sp??)!!!
