1941 Buick

Roe Family in Texas

Gerald, dog, and Dick


After my post on the Rocket Men, I remembered an old family photo of brother Dick and cousin Gerald from about 1951. It was a recollection fostered by all the old cars in the Commando Cody/Rocket Man serials. I searched the web and finally identified our family car. It was a 1941 Buick.

The next car I remember our family owning was the 1954 Pontiac Star Chief. We got that I believe in about 1955. Not really sure about the year, but I do remember going to Alabama on a family vacation in it. That was the summer of 1956.
