Man, what is it about those cars?

When I was, maybe, four, my parents brought my big sister and I to the funeral and burial of one of their friends.

At the cemetery, they left my 10-year-old sister in charge of me in the car, while they walked to the gravesite.

After about two minutes, I had pressed the P, R, L, D, and R buttons at the same time on the dash. (If there was a 2 button, I know I pressed that one too.)

My sister had not noticed as she read her comic.

Needless to say, the car would not start.

Even at that young age, I remember trying to expain to my father the design flaw of being able to ask the car to be in all gears of the tranny at once...

Edit: Found this photo. Nope, no "Park" button but a lever, BUT now I remember that it had a complete word written on each button and I had not yet read my Dr. Seuss "Go, Dog, Go" book at the time of the, um, accident...

I'm not in that age category (thank goodness :joke: ), but I'll never forget my dad's 1964 Pontiac Catalina convertible...what a beautiful car...he got rid of it when I was pretty young, but to this day, I miss that car...it was such a fun ride...I know he misses it too...started to rust a bit on the bottom and he didn't want to take the time/spend the money to have it restored...

I don't remember my old man's '39 Lincoln Zephyr that he had when I was born, unfortunately. I do fondly remember his string of convertibles, though. A '53 Pontiac, '55 Buick, '57 Chevy, '62 Chevy, and a '66 Chevy. I love ragtops to this day, almost as much as I love my bikes, dragsters and hotrods. My wife's '63 Falcon convertible is a delight. Ah, 61 years of fond mechanical memories!
