Thought I'd share some miscellaneous car pics from the Roblin history...
1989 Buick LeSabre Limited
I bought this car in 1999 for $5,400 after getting rid of my '88 Mercury Topaz. I drove it until Sept 2002 when it rear ended and written off by the insurance company. I did get over $4,000 from the write-off though.
1979 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ
I bought this car in 1992 for $50 and drove it home. I never did get it on the road. Resold if for $550.
1979 Mercury Cougar XR-7
Dad bought this car new after selling his '76 Granada 2dr. He kept until the fall of '83.
1976 Ford Granada
I bought this car for $250 sometime in the mid '90's as a parts car. There was no motor or transmission but a set of 5 lace aluminum rims.
1971 Plymouth Fury
Dad bought this car new - traded in his '65 Dodge. He kept it until the fall of '75
1968 Mercury Cougar
This was mom's first car. She lost control of it on a country road and put it through a barbed wire fence. It completely sheared off the vinyl roof. It was repaired and sold sometime before '75. In 7 yrs, the car had completely rotted out underneath and was held together with bolted on angle iron.
1965 Dodge
This was the first car dad bought new
1956 Plymouth
This was dad's first car. It was full of filler and patches. Because of this car, dad never wanted me to start with a junker for a car.
