One year we downsized and bought an Austin Marina in a funny green shade.
Would that be the same kind of car?

The next year we went back to a full sized car to transport the family and also got a Jeep for when hubby went hunting up in the mountains/forest dirt roads.

Sold the Austin Marina to a new young lady driver. Very small car.

The most unusual cars I ever rode in was back in the early 1960's when all the chemists where I worked had Citroen's.........not sure if that was a German car but they were all German chemists. They'd give us a lift to the bus stop or sometimes home........depending on which way they were going.......have never seen a Citroen today........nor an Austin Marina.
