Editor's Notes
- This car was bought from earnings at Hall printing company. The job was full-time, after high school. I drove it to Lake superior with three friends during chicago ‘clean-up week’ when we were seniors. It was also my transportation to AUGUSTANA COLLEGE AS A FRESHMAN. IT COST ME $200.
- This car replaced the Chrysler while at Augie. It belonged to an uncle of a college friend. Dick Werner drove the Chrysler to a junk yard in Chicago.
- While visiting at home in Chicago we found this model one block east of home, a used car lot on Cicero Avenue.
- Carol and I saved enough at Iowa to replace the Ford with this Valiant. When I drove it away from the dealer, the gear lever came off in my hand. I returned to the dealer and they promptly fixed it. No problem the car served us well.
- At Monmouth we needed more room with David and more trappings so we went for this model. It had a push button means for shifting gears!
- We could have had the more powerful hemi engine, but the muscle car didn’t match my family man image.
- Bought this bug from colleague Ron Tank. Must have been the first time we had two cars.
- We bought a model like this with a pop top so we could live in it during my first sabbatical in 1974. The kids (David 14, Kirsten 10, Douglas 5)and dog Tippy all fit in. We started out in the Tobacco Root Mountains of Montana where I taught the Indiana University Field Course. We lived in a trailer house at the field station. There was a trout stream running through it and free ranging horses added to the scenery. Kids loved it. I enjoyed the teaching and the trout fishing. Carol made friends with the other faculty wives. From there we moved west to visit Carol’s relatives in Oregon and our friends in Seattle. We also made a visit to Vancouver.. Then back to Lake Superior via the Canadian Rockies and plains before heading to New England for the fall colors. We took in cultural stops in Boston and New York and ended up in Miami for a convention of the Geological Society of America. We rented an apartment at Holmes Beach on the Gulf side and toured the keys and Key West, including the Hemingway home. We returned to Appleton around Christmas, but since we had sold our home we shopped for a new one. We bought one but couldn’t move in so we wintered at WaNiPa.
- The Saab was purchased in Marquette.
- This was a fun car. I drove it to Sheridan, Wyoming where I taught the University of Illinois field course. Ended up selling it out there.
- Bought this from a geology student. The sun roof began to have trouble working because one of Kirsten’s friends sat on it.
- This was a high powered machine but the engine failed just before the warranty expired. The dealer fixed it anyway, thank goodness!
- A very satisfactory and reliable car.
- BOUGHT AS A SALVAGE CAR AND TED ROSS REBUILT IT. A WONDERFUL AUTOMOBILE.
- THIS VEHICLE SERVED BOTH AS RUN AROUND TOWN CAR AND THE YOOPER CAR. IT WENT TO LAKE SUPERIOR EVERY SUMMER AND HAULED EVERYTHING FROM BYCYCLES TO SKIS.
- GERMAN ENGINEERING WITH BELLS AND WHISTLES!
- BOSE RADIO AND HEATED SEATS MAKE FOR LUXURIOUS TRAVELING.
