^My 1991 looked like this. I had two young kids and got German Shepherd dog (Kyras) so I wanted room for the dog. I bought it with a 5-speed stick. I had a 1985 Accord I sold. It was a great car without any problems. I sold it in 1998 after buying a 1998 Honda Odyssey. Eww. A van. Had two dogs, then.
1954 Kaiser Darrin .... they made this in my current home town ... we have street car shows the last Friday of every month and a local owner used to bring it every month but they went up in value so much he stopped.
Muscle cars
1968 Camaro Z-28 ... my wife had a '68 went we married and it became our first 'family' car with our first born. It was not a Z-28.
And we wrapped things up with National Lampoons 1983 wagon - a repop since the original was destroyed making the movie.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures because I normally never take pictures of cars. I'm too busy looking at them. This was a special day to celebrate a special person and we more or less had the whole place to ourselves. This was just one of the several buildings at the museum and it gets better and bigger every year!
Dave, thank you so much for posting all of those pictures. I know that is very time consuming to do so, and I very much appreciate your hard work. I very much enjoyed looking at the pictures.
My family (5 girls) had a 1957 Chevrolet BelAir Station Wagon.
It was the first brand new car that our family had. My father usually bought used cars from a friend of his who sold used cars. My father flew from California to Detroit to pick up the car and then drove it back to California. He had a minor mishap on the way driving it home from Detroit, skidded on some ice.

Holiday road oh oh Holiday road. Loved that movie. When I got discharged from the Navy I bought a 66 GTO. The muscle car era was alive and well. Thanks for sharing all of those awesome photos Dave.
Not sure I would call anything with AMG and E63 badging a sleeper, especially when it is from a time when AMG really meant something. Did that generation AMG E wagon make it into US showrooms?
Step one: rebadge it as an E350 It absolutely was a US model. I'm not sure they ever made it into a showroom but since most were a customer order.
Not a lot of AMG's ever make it to a showroom unless it an AMG specialist dealer. Even then it's got to be a big dealer.

This 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K sports tourer was hidden in a garage basement for nearly 60 years in Dresden, Germany to keep the Americans and Soviets from getting it. The rich German bricked up the entrance, filled the driveway with topsoil, and planted a rose garden above it. It only came out hiding after the Berlin Wall came down.
My goodness that's a pretty paintjob on a nice car, I suspect it got a major refurb along the way. I'm pretty sure that was a factory color in the 30's and the chrome is immaculate.
