Sent in by Sharon Bond – “1962: The family car

Second to his family, this car was my dad’s pride and joy. We were a large family, and in the absence of the people carriers we now have, Dad had to find a way to enable us to travel as a family. A large car gave him room to put in extra seating.

The car, an Armstrong Siddley, was black when he bought it, but Daddy had the lower panel spray-painted green. It also became the wedding car for nieces, cousins and close friends.”
