I know not much to see but any idea on the make of this car. Just taking a chance. The picture is dated 1956. My aunt sent to me.

Can't see much, but I'd guess late 40's Chrysler product.

Funny, the one in the plaid shorts looks like my mom. Yes, she was Italian.

That is my mom’s auntie Anne. In the 70’s she was the one who had the first remote control I ever saw..big 3 button clicker…I remember me as a 10 year old pussing out when my cousin wanted me to stand between the remote and the tv and pressing a button.😀 like the rays would pass through my body and kill me😀 funny the shit you remember. And also the same asshole cousin who shot me in the ass with a BB gun he got for Christmas. we always went to their house for Christmas and he shot me in the rumpus room…I like it when my uncle gave him a boot in the ass.🤪

My grandpa had the first remote I ever saw.
When you pushed the button the dial on the tv actually turned to switch channels.

Looks really close to a 1955/56 Pontiac Star Chief, the rear is throwing me off. The square windwing is very mid 50s GM.

I was my grandpas first remote.
He would reach over from his old chair and poke me. That meant I had to run up to the tv to change the channel.

I love seeing these old big family pics.
Dads side is all Italian. Big gatherings, big meals, bigger stories. Love our old pics. Them in their old crisp suits and fancy cars, yet the family never had any real money.

My grandfather came from italy. Was a mason spoke broken English til the day he died. Built this wall in the 50’s. He embedded marbles and buttons in it that are still there. I sat on it watching firework’s from the stadium when I was a kid now the great grand kids do today. Mccoy stadium is 2 blocks away where the Red Sox AAA team used to play He bought that house for around $7000 now worth 300k!!
