Subject: Cars in the 70s

Written By: warped on 01/30/13 at 12:22 pm

No, not the band "The Cars" (everyone leaves now... ;D)

What was your family car in the 1970s?

Here was one of ours. The year is 1974. Our car then was a Torino (the car closer to you in the photo). Not sure of the actual year of the car.

I didn't even exist in the '70s, but my father did have several cars in the '70s from the late '60s/early'70s. Some that he had were:

The Ford Anglia

I wasn't born then, but my dad had a roughly 1959 International Travelall and a brand-new Audi 100. My mom had a Triumph Herald (basically a Spitfire sedan) at the time. All worth a pretty penny now.

I think the yellow one is a Chevy Impala.  Maybe a car guy like AL-B would know for sure.
Here is a picture of a 1968 Chevy Impala Coupe --

Here are some of the cars my parents had in the seventies. 
I don't have our family photo collection, so I had to do my best from the net:

(looking back 40 years, fuzzy memories) I always though they (family friend) had an early 70s Chevy Biscaine, but you could be right.
AL-B would know, maybe FooBar too.
