It doesn't have to be the actual car. Just an image of it that is close.
1986 Olds Cutlass Supreme. Brand new. 305 4 barrel carb. 4 speed auto. Thank God it wasn't a 3 speed which were common. Same lame wire hubcaps and color.

My mother's car, but it was green
edit......
My Father’s car. But it was burgundy. It was related to my father’s murder. Damned car.
My step-father’s car. Same color. Heat exhaust cover in the backseat area where sharp. Ended up with bloody feet,……just once.
My first love’s car. Her uncle owned a Chevrolet dealership. That was a nice car.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Jeez we had so many when growing up as the old man bought and sold them.
The most memorable was probably the Austin Cambridge.
The most unmemorable was a Mk 1 Ford Transit van with a hole in the floor big enough to fall through.
it were a long time ago
When I got my license the old man had one of these -
He drove it like he bought it and carboned-up the top end so my Italian tune-ups (7000 rpm at all opportunities - double valve springs standard) made it run much better.
Independent rear end, light, strong, reliable, powerfulish, economical.

The most memorable was a Jaguar Sovereign. We did a week driving around the Lake District and then rolled up to a classic car show and won a prize. He loved that car more than anything.
Nothing memorable in our family apart from a 1936 Plymouth my father kept till a change of house and lack of garage space meant it had to go. Otherwise, it was things like this, 75 Corona in a horrid lime green shade, would have been an Australian assembled model. Early 80s it was an insurance write-off for front end damage I bought it back for I think $300 and with friends help and dodgy panelbeating it survived a few more years.
‘57 Buick Roadmaster
Then mom got this.
Dad got a used VW bug. It’s what I learned to drive in.
We moved back to America in 1963. Bought this on the east coast and drove it down to Florida, then through the gulf states to Texas and then onto California our new home.
Ford Country Squire station wagon.
In 1969 my dad went back to work in Libya and I convinced my mom this was a family car which it surely was not. 69 Dodge Charger 383 with Holly 4 barrel carburetors.
First car I bought with my own money, made from doing clean up in a butcher shop. 63 Volkswagen bug. Ran for about 3 months before the engine gave out.
Only way teflin' in Thailand for life is doable.
The earliest car I can remember. It was a 1952 Chevy Styleline that my parents bought it second-hand and drove until it died. They sold it to a teenage neighbor for $50.
Here is the "Pink Elephant". A 195? Plymouth.
Finally, my father made full professor and they bought their first new car:
I notice that MsKit, AO and I all grew up with similar cars!
^ It's an Austin 1800, before the Maxi, and we didn't have a caravan.
1st car I can remember sitting the back with my bro' - the old man sucking back Peter Stuyvesants up front
We had one of these ...
Yep, we fucking never owned a car, despite Dad being a Transport Sargent in the Army.
Meaning also that we didn't travel much ...
