This is not the actual car. My husband is tearing our basement apartlooking for our box of photographs. I'll post the photo later.
When I was a junior in high school my sister went off to college and this 1950 Buick Dynaflow Roadmaster was passed on to me. My grandmother bought it new and around 1965 or 1966 gave it to my sister. It was 15 years old and had 40,000 miles. The front grill alone probably weighed several hundred pounds. (slight exaggeration) The interior was green plaid. My grandma went to the grocery store once a week and to the bank. The rest of the time the Dynaflow sat in her garage on 9th avenue in Sacramento. Needless to say it was in mint condition when it was passed on to us.
My Dynaflow sat seven people comfortably. It was a great car for the drive-in theater.It was also great for camping at the beach. The seats were so large it was like having two twin beds. Plus, my plaid flannel lined sleeping bag matched the seats.
Eventually, my sister reclaimed the car and took it to college with her. Just as well since it only got about 10 miles to the gallon. That's when I began my long love affair with the VW Bug.
