I learned to drive a 1969 Delta 88.

One of the first cars I drove was my brother's 1970 Olds 98. You didn't steer it. You aimed it. What a ride!

My parents purchased a 63 Delta 88. You were planted hard in your seat when you hit the accelerator. That was eventually traded in for a dark blue 98. Dad purchased a gas powered Toronado and later traded that for a diesel version. Dad passed in 2003. Mom's vision was failing from wet AMD. Both cars were sold.

Similar here— after ‘mastering’ my grandfather’s Willy’s pickup on the farm at nine, he let me drive his Electra 225 all the way into town. Still can’t believe it myself, but true. Parked in front of the old courthouse in Napa.
