What Are You Thinking About?

[dr. d]

di ka middle class

your ancestors are landowners

kung kailangan ng kabayo, land-owner.
kung kayang batuhin ang puno't-dulo, middle class.

[_Cathy_]

Driving in the 60s... Masters... hindi ata kayo middle class haha

Yup. My Mom always says her family is middle class and it's true naman. She says my Dad had it easier. Example, my Mom only had her car after college but my Dad has his during college.

Wow. You are able to identify the car. The plate says 1939 though

This is my great grandfather with his apos (in white with cane) My dad is not in the photo I was amazed when I saw the photo because the car looks huge. Hood is almost on my lolo's shoulder. Though my great grandfather was short daw haha. Can you identify?

Toothy grille could be a Buick.

*DuckDuckGo*

1947 or 1948 Buick.

With a straight-eight engine (eight cylinders in a straight line). Awesome!.
