2008 Ford Escape Hybrid
The other day, when my three-year-old granddaughter was exiting my car, she held up two fingers and said “Peace out.” I wondered where she had heard that expression. I hadn’t uttered that phrase in over 30 years and surely her Gen X father (my son) wouldn’t be caught saying that, as he laughs when I say “cool” or “far-out” in conversation. That’s okay; I snicker at his use of “whatever” or “as if.”
Grandparents “GETAWAY” Car
If someone mentions a town car to me I think of a chauffeured trip to the airport or a neighbor’s car that always has room for two or more additional passengers. It’s hard to find the look and feel of a limousine made by one of the big three auto manufacturers for under $40,000. However, Chrysler has a 300C Hemi engine designer sedan called the Walter P. Chrysler Executive series.
Hip-Hop Meets Pop-Pop
The Cadillac names that have spanned our generation include: The El Dorado, Seville, Coupe de Ville, De Ville DTS, Allante, and Cimarron, to name a few. I remember my family’s first Cadillac, a Sedan de Ville. Our neighbors clamored to look inside and wondered out loud as to what my dad did for a living to be able to afford such a status automobile. There was elegance associated with the brand, there was heritage, and eventually, its own subculture, with over 1,000 songs written about the Cadillac car to date.
"Green" Grandparents are Cool
Did Ozzie and Harriet have a garage? I think so, but how many cars did they have? You might find most of today’s grandparents with two cars in the garage, one a sporty ride and the other luxury, with perhaps a classic car in a third garage as well.
Was that a Hot Flash or a Hot Car?
Grandparents are not only young at heart, but in a lot of instances, we are chronologically young as well. Though we may be thinking about the coolest vehicle we can own and travel in, we may also be thinking about what vehicle is the safest to transport our grandchildren.
