Nice read that goes beyond just words on paper, tks for sharing. Father son rides in the car/truck during my adolescence...the wisdom, and memories imparted - priceless. I hope to convey the same to my kids. I do wonder if it will be the same with Electric vehicles...

Captain, enjoyed this very much. My Dad and his Dad were Cadillac men. My father bought a used 1962 series 62 coupe in 1963. Alt plan was a new 1963 Pontiac Bonneville convertible. I was months away from getting my license and lobbied hard for the Bonneville. He was a good man and a great Dad. A 1942 high school grad he then joined the Army and served in Saipan. He worked 6 days a week and sure deserved that car. Thx for sharing R/ JEI
