Message: [QUOTE="OldSchooler, post: 5013376, member: 11804"] The first car I remember was my Dad's Terraplane, made by Hudson. It was black, bought in the late '30s. My brothers used to ride on the running boards. (Forget about seat belts, which wouldn't come around for another 20 years, and were lap only and not mandatory.) When the war broke out, you couldn't get a new car, so that was our family car until Dad bought his first automatic transmission car -- a 1947 two-tone Oldsmobile with "hydramatic drive." That Terraplane was so old that near the end, the horn would honk every time we made a left turn! [/QUOTE]
