Before me:

36 Chevy
50 Mercury convertible, yellow
53 MGTF that he bought new
?? Triumph Spitfire
58 Plymouth
A couple of 60's Fords
71 Ford Maverick Grabber <- last car he bought new

In my lifetime:

early 70's Dodge or Plymouth station wagon
73 Plymouth
75 Chrysler Imperial
73 Chrysler Newport that became my first car
80 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham
86 Dodge Aries-POS that bounced back and forth between "Mom's" and "Dad's" until they wisely sold it.
85 Chevy Monte Carlo that my grandfather gave to my mother when he stopped driving. Mom didn't fit behind the steering wheel, and I didn't have a license yet, so it became Dad's. Totaled by an uninsured driver.

Current:

89 Cadillac Broughams (2)
91 Cadillac Brougham
00 Mercury Grand Marquis-actually Mom's, but Dad's the only one who ever drives it.

Mom's rides have included 62 and 65 Chevys, a string of Mopar A-bodies, a 79 Grenada, and a box Caprice.
