In 1956, my dad was over seas so my mom bought a new 56 Chevy and moved us kids to Tucson, Arizona. She traded it in on credit to the local Chevy dealer when we left in 1958 to join my dad on Okinawa.
In 1961 we were back stateside. My dad swung by Tucson to pick up a new wagon from the dealer there using the credit, and drove it to Wisconsin where my mom and us kids took it up the ALCAN highway to Fairbanks while he went back to California before joining us in Alaska. After a year there, all five of us piled into the 61 Chevy and drove to New Hampshire.
Mom sold it before we moved to Guam in 1965 to join my dad again. After a few years there, we came back stateside again and picked up a one year old company car used by the senior management at the company where dad worked in Palo Alto and drove it to Texas where my dad's company assigned him to work for NASA.
