I just stepped out of a bento shop with my lunch in one hand, a drink in the other and my camera hanging around my neck. I saw this MG coming my way so I quickly juggled things around and managed to get my camera up to my face in time to get these two images.

As I grew up, my father drove MGs: a TD, a TF 1500, an MGA, and an MGB. He bought the TD the year I was born, and I don't remember it, but I well remember the other three! My sister's name is Gail and we used to sit side-by-side in the passenger seat. Our father told us that "MG" stood for "Murray and Gail."
My dad turned 50 in December of 1967. A month later, he traded the MGB in on a Rover 2000 TC, an English luxury sport sedan that I had turned him on to! The Rover was a more expensive car, but we had recently sold some property, so there was some extra in the bank to draw on.
Thanks for another memory, Mike!

I have to agree! Candy apple red no less. And the Chev. right behind too.
Yes, the 1959 Chev behind! Same color scheme of my parent's '59
The red one is 1949-52 approx.

I am sure that the designer who had to design this station wagon version didn't even like looking at it when he finished.

Thank you, AOA, I thought it looked pretty cool. It's certainly (IMO) an excellent subject for photography.
All the best,

Sticking with the Station Wagon theme, here's a nice old Toyota Corona Station Wagon that somebody is keeping in mint condition.

This one takes the crown, I mean Corona! Even the white tire sidewalls are mint.

Buddy of mine had something similar as his first car, many years ago. I always thought that his most interesting cars were his earlier ones, when he didn't have a lot of money!

Patience and perseverance have finally paid off; it's been a long time since I've seen a Jag on the road.

It looks like some sort of funeral procession is being led by a VW Beetle.
