Family Album Old Car Photos

[Fratzog]

The idea for this thread came to me as I was browsing some old family photo albums. Most members here likely have old photos kicking around. Here's a few that I found today.

My Dad came to Canada from Austria in 1954 and this Morris Minor was his first car. That's me and my Mom in the passenger seat.




I was about 2 years old here. As can be seen I developed and early affinity for Mopars in this case my Dad's 55 Dodge.



This photo was taken around 1970. The same year I took my drivers license test in this 67 Polara.

Here is my car when it was 2-1/2 years old and 40 years later after its restoration. I'm the one seen over the car in the old picture, my niece is the one seen over the car in the later picture. My niece spent many weekends one summer helping me with final assembly (she was 10).

I don't have very many old pics, let alone old pics with cars.

I do have this pic of my Dad's Dodge 36(?) milk truck. He bought this brand new.

I've been searching for a place to put this pic but couldn't find a appropriate thread since it was a Ferd, I did have a 'Old photos with cars | Page 119' thread bookmarked but it seems that has disappeared.
Anyways... For a Daytona memories FB Group.

Photo caption: This is the R code Drove to Daytona in 1963 to watch the 500 mile race.
I take it a 'R code' is something special. I think I see a 396 callout on the fender.

(edit) Oh boy... a quick googly, googly,

From Hemmings:
"1963 Galaxie 4 Speed With An R-code 427 Made Ford’s Total Performance Aspirations Clear"

"Enter the legendary 427... and the R-code, which produced 425 horsepower using a pair of Holley 650 four-barrel carburetors."
