Grandma has a 1992 Oldsmobile 88. Can't get any more greatest generation than that, it was the last new car my grandpa bought.

Grandpa on the other side has a 2005ish Chrysler Sebring sedan, the style before they made them really ugly.

Sadly they're both getting up there and neither of them drive anymore.

Grandma has a 2008 LS460 she bought new. Not sure on the package but I think its executive or something. She also has a 2001 Avalon she kept simply because its paid for. She also has a 1992 Toyota Celica Convertible that was my late grandfathers. Has 18,000 miles on it, and is totally mint.

Step-Granddad has a 2010 Chevy Suburban, A 2001 Saturn Sedan, a 1995 Four Winds 45' RV and a few other toys.

Mine are all dead...

However, before that occurred on the paternal side my grandfather always owned 3 new lincoln towncars (one for himself, one for his wife & one to rent our for the weekend) - never more than 2 years old, and in my entire life I never saw a spec of dirt on/in any of his vehicles. Surprising since he roamed the street of Philly, Boston & NYC. I've heard stories about the classic luxury and muscle cars that he had when he was younger.

On the maternal side my grandfather was into trucks (as in semi's) since the 40's he always had at least 2, even after he stopped driving & closed his shop. He was a Ford guy for his "around town truck", but always had some muscle car he was restoring. His garage was never empty. My grandmother was much more conservative - she had a chevette, then a granada, then an ltd. I remember riding with her as a small child and asking why we were going so slowly & with a straight face her reply was "this car was built before cars had power".

Both of mine are Jaguar people..My grandfather just picked up as of yesterday a 2012 XF Supercharged and my grandmother has a 2011 Jaguar XK Coupe..before those they had a 2009 XJ Super V8 and a 2005 XKR Convertible and a 2006 XJL and the oldest one they owned was a 1995 XJS V12. Other than that they owned a lot of Lincoln Navigators, an Aviator, a Explorer Sportrac, a Cadillac CTS..but they are boat people so they also have a 1985 Chevrolet Kodiak/Topkick with a 454 and a 4 speed with air brakes(?)..and a 1980's Chris Craft 41 footer..a 1940's Chris Craft runabout with the original inline 6, a 51' Sea Ray in Key West, a hobie cat sail boat, a 1984 Chris Craft Stingray 210 with a 350, and another sailboat but I don't remember the size.

My grandparents all passed away decades ago, but the last car I can remember my Dad's father owning was a 1968 full-size Chrysler sedan (the only size Chrysler they built back in those days, before the mid-sized Cordoba). I don't remember if it was a Newport or New Yorker....I'm pretty sure it was not a 300. Ironically, in my early 20s, I owned a 1967 Chrysler myself (Newport) for a couple of years. I don't know what the last car was that my mother's father owned.......he passed away even earlier.

I remember a '53 Chevy, a '56 Belair, a '62 Impala and maybe a '66 Impala. On the other side of the family all I remember is "helping" fix the drum brakes on a big green Packard.

For another data point, see my signature since I'm pushing 60.

My Dad's father passed long before I was born, and my Mom's a year after I was born, so I have only a few pictures of them. My Grandfather on my Dad's side, I seem to remember having been told he had a Maxwell - a company that went through a series of fits and starts to eventually become folded into the Chrysler organization, the last vestiges of which became the Plymouth.

My maternal Grandfather was a rural pharmacist, and probably had a car at one time, but drove a one-horse buggy back in the teens and early twenties. Because he lived in a small mill town in Central Kansas, he walked about a block to work every day and had no regular use for a car, being no more than a few steps from the center of town. He often subbed for the local doctor, meaning he had to get where was needed on dirt roads, regardless of weather - hence the horse and buggy.

My Dad's generation was a little more adventurous, he and his little brother building a new '27 Chevy "chassis-cowl" into a "camping truck" they drove from Western Kansas to San Francisco . . . and most of the way back. This was before there were paved roads, so cross-country travel, particularly in the West, was largely similar to a longer version of the Baja.

My grandpa gave up driving roughly 15 years ago (he's 90 years old) but his last car was a ZAZ 968M. Before that he had a ZAZ 968, and before that, a Dnepr motorcycle with carriage.
