When I was a kid we had a 1965 Buick Sportwagon. Oh, how my mother loved that car. She swore she would never get rid of it. We had that car for a long time. I remember many a cross-country trip taken in it. My mom cried the day my dad turned it in for a newer car. (We kids rejoiced.)
The other day Ray and I were driving and I saw this car:
It was an Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, not the Buick Sportwagon, but looks so much like the Buick I thought it was one at first. I was very excited. Those windows on the top were a dead giveaway. Our car was beige, like the one below and had a red interior. It had front and back seatbelts that were dutifully stashed under the seat. After all, if they were out they just got in the way.
I don't think I've seen a car like that since 1975. It was great to see one again. It brought back a lot of great memories.
