How did you get home from the hospital when born?

[Carlson-jet]

A few threads always remind me of the car I have always wanted to have.
Born in 67' rode home in Mom's 63 1/2 Galaxie 500/XL 427"
Yup, That's what Dad bought for my Mom to drive.
A few guys on here have them and I always drool when they post em up.

Born in '56. I think my parents had a '52 Chevy then but don't remember the ride home!

I have a '63&1/2 Galaxie that I'm working on. 390, 4 speed car. Engine, trans and chassis are all rebuilt. Body is getting worked on now.

I think I came home in a 1956 Pontiac station wagon.

Mercury Bobcat wagon. Light blue with the wood paneling...top of the line econobox in '77! The first car I remember was the Granada...4 door and vinyl top...rollin' pimp then!

Some young pup is going blow us away...arrived in a Fox body or Iroc!

 

[mash on it]

My dad had a 64? Buick wildcat. Upland to Chino, 1970.

When my daughter was born, I had a 1960 Chevy half ton. Baby seat was strapped in the middle. (motorcycle strap to the bottom of seat chassis) yeah, it was a 4 speed & 327. Kaiser Fontana to Apple Valley, in August. (Next week she'll be 27.) How did we survive?

Back of dads vw bug in that little compartment in the back above the engine, I went all over back there with some blankets and the engine kept me warm.

He always told a story about him lending it to Kurt Russell one night.

I always enjoy brackets.

 

[musicFunsun]

Not sure but it had wings and was big. I know that my dad picked me & mom up from the hospital on his way home from, ya know, cuz he dropped her off on his way to work the day I was born

 

[69hondo]

Brought me home in dads 76 C10 which I still own.

 

[bonesfab]

I was brought home in this. 1929 model a pick up. Still have it. It’s in pieces up on a shelf in the shop. Will get to it one day. My dad took it apart 30 years ago because the frame was cracked and never put it back together. Finally told me to come get it before I needed a dust pan to retrieve it.

 

[lbhsbz]

1977 Mazda RX-3 wagon. I’m pretty sure I remember it backfiring.

Born in 74 And came home in a Monte Carlo and I am pretty sure my dad hot boxed us with his Pall Mall non filters.

 

[Riverbottom]

Came home in my dad's 56 T-Bird, which he had to sell and get a car with more room because of me. I always wanted to buy him a replacement white 56 T-bird.

 

[Wheeler]

Don't know how I got home but I do know what the hospital bill was. I cost my old man 186.00 to be born at Gardena Memorial.

Best money he ever spent!

I'm not quite sure. I am an old Geezer, I was born in 1950.
It may have been an old school Pro Street Horse and buggy.

I was born out in the field and after mom kept working. Women were tough back then.

 

[SoCalDave]

1958 Pontiac Star Chief that my Dad had as a rep car from the Pontiac, Buick, GMC, Jeep dealership my grandfather left him and his brothers.

 

[nameisbond]

I don't know...…. Shortly after I was born my Dad bought a Datsun 240Z. He was into Datsun Z's until 1983.

Yes that was me driving, best number was 15.33 @99. something (just missed 100mph) and geared way high, (3.73 open diff and 33in tires) I was shifting into 3rd at the 1000ft mark. I really wanted to put 4.11 with a posi in it. It ran the 15.33 when I put a double pumper on it but it made so much more power that I had to relearn how to launch it, the first launch was a peg leg 500ft burnout.

Pretty sure it was the back of a bus...

I actually was born in East LA!

[FreeBird236]

I don't know for sure, but the only car I'm aware of was a 42 Chevy, I can still remember standing in the seats going places.

 

[Waterjunky]

There is a decent chance it was a Pinto wagon. Born today actually in 1975......
My parents bought it slightly used around that time and sold it about two weeks before the big thing with the "rolling barbeque"
The first car I remember being in was my Mom's 1960 lemon yellow Thunderbird. I still have the car tucked away next to the 67 Mustang i drove in high school in my shop. Some day I will get to both of them.

 

[spectra3279]

So born in 67. Have no idea what car it was. But I do know we had a 65 mustang fastback. Mom loved the car. I had fun crawling in the back area when the seat was folded down. Also had a 72 Buick centurion with a 455. I slept in the back window ledge on trips.
