Good old Dad and his good old Dad's car. As solid and dependable as
the man himself, if a little less balding, Dad's car was almost a
member of the family, whisking you to exciting days out, or just to
visit boring relatives in distant parts of the country to the chant
of 'are we nearly there yet?' Like the man behind the wheel, Dad's
car made you feel safe and secure, because it was as reassuring and
sensible as he was. Maybe in an idle moment Dad dreamt of driving
something rakish and fast, just like in idle moments he dreamt that
your Mum was Twiggy, but the demands of family life meant soft
tops, hard suspension and anything even remotely sporty were off
the cards. Even anything less than four doors would have been
wildly hedonistic. But although the family car may not have been
the very essence of rock 'n' roll, Dad was proud of it. Spanning
the 1950s to the '80s, this is a celebration of the heyday of the
Dad car. From much loved family workhorses like the Ford Cortina
and Vauxhall Viva to the rakish excitement and playground kudos of
the Rover 3500 and Citroen CX, all the great Dad cars are here.
Reflecting a time before people carriers and lifestyle off roaders,
when the nearest thing to an airbag was hiding behind your fat
brother, this is a celebration of simple, honest cars that were as
flawed and as loveable as your Dad himself.
