[quote=vintagemotif]Your yellow Brother turned "Buick", reminds me of one of my parents' car. It was a yellow Chrysler New Yorker. Man, was that car ever huge… a true tank! When it had mechanical problems, it was called the lemon. When the car was running well, we called it the tank. My parent held onto that car until it turned brown and died. Oh, and when it turn brown from rust spots, we called it the brown banana.

When I was a kid, my Dad had a 1954 Chrysler New Yorker,
yellow w/dark green top.
He called it the dirty old beast. That was a great car, it had a bigger radiator and a few other modifications so that it ran well in the desert. He was stationed in El Centro,California.
