Fondness for a certain brand/vehicle because of parents/grandparents

[ragnarkar]

My dad has always owned a Honda starting from his 78' Accord although he's owned others as alt. vehicles. I'm still driving the same Civic I got for my 16th birthday over a decade ago. I'm still partial towards getting a Honda Hybrid for my next car instead of a Prius..

Some memorable cars my family had while I was a kid were a couple 70s Eldorado convertibles, 86 Camaro, 59 El Camino, etc. I'm really into classics. I guess I generally like GM better, but Mopar and Ford just didn't have near the offerings starting in the 80s.

I guess I like Mercedes because of my dad. It was always his dream car and he has owned an s and now an sl. Before that we had pontiacs and nissans which I still think are ok but with one brand dead and the other getting weird styling wise I'm not as enamored with them as much. Would still like to have a bandit t/a, a 240 with a silvia conversion and a gtr some day.

Packard.

I love Mopars growing up my dad had a 70 Charger and a 71 Cuda but sold them but now he has a 69 Gtx and 69 road runner so he made me a mopar fan I LOVE them

Not me. One grandpa would only buy Fords. My other grandpa was fond of Cadillacs. My parents only buy Nissans.

I've never owned any of the above or even really want to. Brand loyalty doesn't necessarily cross generations.

I wouldn't say that I'm loyal to a brand, per se, but whenever I see those old Chryslers or Plymouths that have that early 80s 'gran fury' body style (I think some of the "Fifth Avenue" models look like those, too), I think of my grandparents. They had one of those and they also used it to tow a pop-up camper!

Yeah the Fifth Ave and Diplomat were similar to the Gran Fury.
