My Dad and the Pink Oldsmobile -- (Not So) Wordless Wednesday #879

 I found another priceless (to me) photograph in my computer file folders:

This photograph was taken in 1958, probably by my mother, in front of the Marshall Chamberlain home at 4601 Terrace Drive in San Diego (I recognize the awnings!).

That is my father, Frederick Walton Seaver, proudly standing next to his brand new, PINK, Oldsmobile 88.   This was a four-door, roomy, comfortable, car for our family of five.  No seat belts, no air conditioning, no power windows.  

Why a PINK Oldsmobile?  I think that he got a good deal on it and was able to drive it off the lot. The car was pinker in real life - really PINK!

  

Our family took several driving trips to bowling tournaments in California in this car (San Jose, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Sacramento).  My father drove it all over San Diego for his work as an insurance agent, and it served as a great car for Little League equipment and players. I think we had this car into the 1970s.  

This photograph is a part of my family history. I enhanced and colorized it using the MyHeritage photo tools.
