That was probably a later model then ours. I think it was
something like late 50's early 60's. Tan two door. I think I
still have a couple of the status lights from the dash around
somewhere. I remember getting to drive it a couple of times under
supervision. I think I would have liked it better if it had a
floor shifter.

Mom's Kadette had a floor shifter. As I recall it (and we all
know how those childhood memories can be distorted as time goes
on) was really, really long. The car was a light blue and had
rubber floor mats. That's about all I remember about it.
Mom loved driving a stick shift, and thrashed the heck out of
that car.
My Dad was an exec for a division of GM at the time, and the
execs were always getting cars from GM's failed efforts at
importing. For example, the car that preceded the Opel Kadette
was a Vauxhall wagon....
