What car were you cruising around in when your dad was YOUR current age?

[bmann]

Bonus points if you have a picture of yourself in the car.

My dad was 34 on this date in 1984. I was pickin my nose as a 7 year old in the backseat of a 1982 Honda Accord and a 1974 AMC Hornet.

Google images: Like this but brown



Google images: pretty much just like this

I have a feeling you're going to get a whole lot of people who weren't born yet in this thread. I'm 31, and even then I was still just a figment of my parent's imagination when my dad was this age.

[helement2003]

If I recall correctly, my dad had this at the time: 1983 BMW 320i.

It looked almost exactly like this one:

[FoxSt]

B1 Passat (aka Dasher) brought back from Germany by an army Sargent. Sadly no pictures but I can blame my VW addiction on it.

[r_fostoria]

I didn't exist.

[TM87]

I wasn't born when my dad was 28. He was rolling around in some form of Lada or Zastava 750(aka Fiat 500).

[Air and water do mix]

I'm 47 and I would have been three at the time. That puts me in his '63 Nova. Naturally his was a 6 popper with an automatic. It's a handsome body style, so I'd love one now. His was white with a brown interior.

It looked much like this, but not as clean. They're just damn handsome cars.

[GoFaster]

Hmmm ... when my dad was 45, that would have been 1971. And that means ...

1970 Datsun 510 (4-door automatic) - horrible car, rusted out in 2 years, but '71 would have been when it was still around ... Not this exact car but similar.



Or, 1966 Rambler Classic, 232 6 cylinder automatic. Not this, but similar, and mouse-coloured.

[bob570]

I didn't exist.

Same here.

My dad was either driving an AMC Javelin, or a late 60's Mustang V6. Not sure which at this point in his life.

The Javelin was his first car. Police officers became a little too familiar with that car if you know what I mean. So he ended up downgrading to a Mustang with a V6.

Elitist capitalist pigs!

Our family had this when my dad was my age:

[titleist1976]

Porsche 912. Guards red.

[Benjamin.]

And though I didn't exist, my dad, in 1978 at the age of 31, had a 304/3spd purple AMC Gremlin (not actual car pictured).

[knivesandfire]

I wasn't born when my Dad was 27. He was working out at sea aboard an oil tanker at that time. Back home in the Philippines, however, he had built his own jeep using whatever parts he laid his hands on during his college years in the mid-70s which looked somewhat like this:

In 1986 my dad commuted in:

[Iroczgirl]

That would have been one of these, but in a blue metallic.



He would also have been seen on one of these :



Yes, he still misses the motorcycle (last seen in 1978) but he has the newspaper clippings from when he was in a military stunt team.

Yeah well anyone born after 1990 can suck my nut.

Beautiful.

1977 Rabbit Diesel... like this but red.

I was not alive, but my dad had one of these three vehicles:

His had a white top





280z. His had a disgusting hood bra.

[Broduski]

When my dad was 20 I wouldn't be conceived for anther 12 years. But I think he was driving his Road Runner at the time. A '69 lime green 383 4 speed car. Maybe his Charger, I dunno, but he had some cool stuff.

Same here.

Uh....Little bit of incorrect info here champ.

[nm+]

Dad was driving this. I wasn't around.

In this colro

He is shocked that people consider these even slightly desirable. It was called "the turd."

It was a daily in Michigan, so it probably wasn't as clean as this one.

[turbo_nine]

1983 Plymouth Reliant K wagon.

Yeah... ballin'.

[compy222]

1967 427 corvette
1972 corvette
A Chevy panel van

[roadtripper]

dad had these:







i was just learning to drive, in mom's ride:

[RacerrRex]

Lol im only 18

[irsa76]

Ok after some rough math when dad was my age we were cruising around in either this:

Or this:

That's me at the back looking like a goof
CSH, the red sedan was the last 6 seat Ford Falcon built before the major refresh. Amusingly it was actually built AFTER the new model production had started and only days before the new model was actually officially released. The reason was as it was a 6 seat sedan it was a special order and for some strange reason Ford decided to send it down the line mixed in with the new model.

[EdRacer71]

I was in a van just like this only grey and white. Dad got it from an auction at his work. Full window like this too, so it wasn't a Pedobear Van....



Dad had one of these....only silver.



And Mom had

[Some_Day]

Lol im only 18

x2, I'm pretty sure he wasn't even thinking about me at that age but, dad would have been driving a sixty-something impala SS. He crashed it when he was 19

[nemo1ner]

My dad owned an Oldsmobile Delta 77. The thing was a tank and he used it to tow our camper and boat.

This is me in the actual car:



What it looked like:

[SVTDanny]

I wasn't around for another long while - but either one of these



Or one of these



Not sure exactly when he went from the '69 to the '71.

[karl_1052]

My dad was just getting out of the air cooled beetle phase then(they were getting harder to find with no rust then).
I think we would have been on our first Mk1 Rabbit. Probably around a 1976 or 77

[MatchStick]

One of these (his is BRG also - pic isn't his exact one). he still owns it - he bought it new in Hawaii in 1966.
