1. 195? Rambler [used Mom's], never could find the problem of the drivers side door opening [rarely] during a right hand turn.
2. 1965 Classic 550 [new, Mom's first], always some very minor problem, easily fixed but had to be fixes every week it seemed like.
3. 1968 Ambassador [new Mom's], great looking, but used a quart of anti-freeze every 3000 miles, after 2 year the service manager took & drove the car for 3 weeks to find a cracked head [290].
4. 1973 Javelin 360 auto [used, Dad's, I bought when he retired for my wife to drive], Couldn't get out of its own way until i removed all the air pollution equipment. Transmission died on the wife at around 70,000 miles.
Before the Ramblers, Mom's car Austin A40 1951 I believe
before the Austin, the problem free car she loved 1948 Commodore
The car I gave Mom after the Ambassador, her last car, '70 Dodge Coronet R/T left over new.
What a great story/post Brush!
