We never owned an Olds but my father told me a story where my other grandfather bought a Studebaker while he didn’t have a license yet.
So my dad and my uncle had to learn him how to drive .... the first lesson he ended up in a ditch and gave a key to my uncle and one to my dad. So at the age of 17 and 19 they ‘earned’ their first car 🤣. This was around 1955.
A few years later my uncle ditched it again but this time it was a total loss.
I think they bought a Peugeot 404 after that.
Other Americans in the family:
1976-ish Pontiac Firebird V6 i guess.
1995-ish Jeep Wrangler 2.5
But the coolest car in the family with a slight advantage over the W123 Merc was my uncle’s Citroen DS.
I feel ones life isn’t accomplished if you haven’t been driven around as a kid in Citroen DS 😜.
