The Wonder Years - The Family Car

[threewood]

My dad was not and is not a car car guy nor brand loyal. The earliest Mopar he owned was a 1974ish green Newport 4 door. Thing was a tank and he let me sit in his lap and drive it in empty parking lots.

Our family car when I was a kid was a '68 Monaco wagon. That odd color green with full
woodgrain siding.
Broke my heart when Pop traded it in on a VW bus in '73 because of the fuel crisis....
I've been looking for one like it since I don't remember when. Apparently, it was a rare critter.

Ours was brown with the wood grain. I always really liked that car too.
