- Is this like what you've seen back then, as you told me recently?)
- Oh, Okay, I've got it :)
The time I was talking about spread out from, let's say, the late sixties to the late seventies and the cars I saw back then were mainly from that era.
I still remember, so many years later, one of the cars that first impressed me when I was a kid: a cream colored Ford Galaxie Country Squire of the early sixties parked along a sidewalk of my birthplace. I still see clearly its woodenlike sides and its big round taillights. It had Canadian Forces license plates. Funny how some things seen almost fifty years ago stay intact in someone's memory.
To answer your question, the american cars of the forties were a little too old for me to see them in those days. - Late sixties was the pinnacle, in my opinion.
I remember one of my earliest impressions very clearly as well. In my childhood, when I was 5 years old I've seen a foreign car (big deal in Soviet time) and been stunned right as crossing the street so my grandma had to literally drag me away from the road. It was Ford Escort (Mk I) and it confused me heavily. My thoughts were like "Wait a minute! What's wrong with that Moskvitch?!" 🤣
