I recently started going through old family photos. I was amazed at what my dad took pictures of. He had a Canon AE1 program. For anyone who knows about old 35mm cameras of the 80's, this was among the ones to have. I think that camera might even still be somewhere in our house. He loved that camera. Had various lenses and flashes. And back then camera's did not get obsolete in a few years like the digital cameras do now.
Anyway, one of the photos I found was this gem:
That is a 1981 Caddy. For those that remember it had the infamous V8-6-4 . That was my Grandfathers car. Ironically he never had any major problems with that engine, he was probably one of 5 He would come over to our house every Sunday morning or so, spend some time with my parents, and pay me to wash his car. Whatever it was he gave me, Im sure I thought it was a lot of money. I guess this photo was probably 84-85ish? I was maybe 12-13?
That was a HUGE car, only amplified in size by my smallish stature. It had single stage paint because one time sealed it, and a ton of red paint came off on the rag I was using (what did I know back then?). Seems like it needed some protection in this picture to!
I still have, and still use that same bucket! They made Rubbermaid to last back then!
