I grew up in Hobart and my grandmother had a 57 Olds. Hers was a hardtop though. Nice car.

I grew up in Gary and my grandfather had a 1948 Futuramic and a 1953 98.

My parents had 52 88, 57 98, 61 98 and a 67 LS.

My brother had a 1953 88 and a 1960 S88.

I had a 1954 88, 1960 S88, 1963 D88 conv, 1967 LS, 1998 Intrigue and the 1962 D88 conv I currently own (which was originally owned by a woman who lived in Crown Point!

I doubt any of my Olds rides are still in Lake Co. If they are, they are buried under other wrecks at what used to be Nummies Auto Salvage in Merrillville, next to the Y & W!

I know that I left the 60, 63 and 67 in Indianapolis. I have the 62 with me in WI.
