TRANSPORTATION!

The cars that my dad had purchased were as follows:


Overland car--First car owned and before I was born.

Model T (year of car was unknown) It had artificial glass as windows (called isonglass).

Buick--Had a mishap with this car and purchased the 1929 Model A

1929 Model A (Purchased this as a used car in 1931)

1938 Chevrolet car (Purchased this new for $750)

1950 New Chevrolet Car (Last car he purchased as he died in 1954)

The car that I remember as a child was the Model A. It wasn't fancy, but it got us where we wanted to go. My dad always paid cash for his cars. The last 2 cars he owned were purchased new. He always said, "If it gets you from point A to point B without giving you any problems in between point A & B, then why buy another". This has been our philosophy even now. We never tried to keep up with the Jones, but bought things when they were close to wearing out.

When the snow was really deep and cars couldn't get through, our neighbors to the north of us had a Surrey with a fringe on top that we rode to school in. This was pulled by a team of horses. We were invited to ride with them on those days. They had nearly 2 miles to walk to school and we had a mile to walk. On rainy days, dad would be sitting out in the Model A waiting for us to get out of school, so we wouldn't have to walk home in the rain. That was a pleasant sight when it was pouring down rain. I will tell you more about our school days on another day.
