It's curious...there was only one mention of the box type Mitsubishi Lancer...when in the mid 80s it was probably the only car you could buy after the demise of Ford Philippines and Delta Motors.

Hmmm . . . I remember that time we have a Ford Telstar hatch back, but this was before my elemntary days. During grade school days we have a maroon '96 Isuzu LS pick-up (LCS-753) and a Toyota corolla SE limited (LCV-???). This was where we are still living on mindanao.

When we transferred here in Manila we bought a 1993(?) Nissan Sentra ECCS and a 1999 Hyundai Starex. Followed by the 2 Trooper, an altis and an E150.

I miss them, especially the telstar. Digital panel etc . . . .

In the 70's my Dad used to be a med rep for Doctor's Pharma which he had the "doublemint gum" green beetle.

When he became vice president for Xerox Philippines he bought his first brand new car in the form of the Corolla SR (2 door coupe) in brown.

So far here is what I recall from his stable:

Volkswagen Brasilia
Holden Torana
MB 123
Chevy LUV pick-up
Toyota Macho Machine

1. nakita ko sa mga family pix: 4x4 willys MB white 3 speed (wala pako nun around 70s) 2.2li gas willys engine

2. going around with my dad (when i was still at prep school): short wheelbase na jeepney. animan lang ang sakay. i remember parating "umiipit" ung kambyo. parati kami naii-stuck up ng tatay ko nun. diesel engine mated to a tranny ng willys. ganun talaga sakit ng mga naunang tranny ng mga willys.

3. M38A1 civilian type. same engine and tranny pa rin with #1.

4. nagkaroon din kami ng 6 wheeler truck na inuunti-unting inassemble ng tatay ko. 4ba1. horse-nose ang cab. sintibay ng adobe yun. hanggang ngaun buhay pa pero palit na yung cab. all-around hauling yun. lupa, bakal at pati bahay kubo parang meryenda lang ng makina.

5. wrangler type jeep na saturn engine. buhay pa rin ngayon. at dito ako nagpraktis sa pagkutingting ng brakes, carb, suspension at tune-up thru the supervision of my master (tatay)

kung napansin ninyo e halos military style mga naging sasakyan namin. unipormado kasi tatay ko nun. retired na ngaun.

sa ngaun i drive a pick-up at caretaker ng isang restored 1944 willys MB na pagmamayari ng biyenan.
