Let’s see what is growing in Cypress Gardens!
What catches your spying-eye radar…?
Is that orangy yellow thing a Dodge Omni? Looks like the yellow piece of crap I had in high school. What is the red hatchback with the stripe behind it?
If you mean the car at the front, right-center, Ben, no, it is a Vega. The car behind it is an AMC Gremlin … believe Mr. Havel had a green one of those. I had forgotten about the Dodge Omni you had!
Ah. That actually looks cooler than the Omni I had, but it does look similar:

Didn’t grammy and gramps have the next gen of the plymouth branded omni? Someone I knew had one of those.
Yes. Gremlin. I knew that but just couldn’t think of what it was called. I’m guessing it wasn’t really fast enough to merit a racing stripe, though. 🙂
Yes, it does look similar … I can see why you thought it was the same car.
Yes, Gram & Gramps had an orange 1978 Plymouth Horizon hatchback-sedan. That replaced their 1972 impala & was replaced by their 1988 nova.
As for the Gremlin, you might be right about the racing stripe … tho, I’ve seen quite a few with them!
