A picture of my older brother and sister in about the year 1979.
That's our 1976 Bay Window in the background, and "The Toaster" (the car I still have today; a 1967 Westfalia tintop) off to the right.
Judging by where "The Toaster" is parked, and all the grass which has not been edged in front of it, it is one of the two times my parents allowed our 1967 to SIT, unwashed, for about 4 to 6 years at a time.
The roof developed major rust challenges due to the salt air of Huntington Beach, CA, and by the time I fixed it up and started driving it in 1987, the roof had LOTS of rust.
The '76 bus my brother took to college in Seattle.
He managed to get plenty of parking tickets until one day it was finally towed.
The Toaster, with its restored roof is running better than ever before and although not a daily driver (I work 3 blocks from home), we use it all the time. |
