MY LIFE WITH SHERMAN AKA SHERM

Sherman is a 1959 Cadillac sedan de ville. I was told it was the longest, heaviest car General Motors ever manufactured. Sherman is white with black interior that has some silver thread in it. Sherman arrived at our house in approximately 1961. My family consisted of; my banker father,my homemaker mother, my little sister and myself. Mom drove my sister and I to school, she made us sit in the backseat. One day on the way home, I saw smoke coming out under the passenger side of the front seat. My mom pulled over and got us out of the car. Later that night, after being told the motor under the seat overheated, she told dad that she wanted cars that had no electrical seats that might endanger us girls by catching on fire. Dad was about ready for a new car and told his brother, a car dealer, the new requirement. Since dad was a banker, he wanted a nice car to take clients to meals and etc. My uncle said he had just the car for him. A 1959 Cadillac that had no power windows or seats. Dad brought the car home and I donandrsquo;t remember which parent said itandrsquo;s as big as a Sherman tank. We all piled in for a ride. We went a couple of blocks and it stopped. We walked home, called Uncle Ed and mom said she never wanted another car from him. It turned out that when the gas gauge showed a quarter tank, it was empty, It also had a speedometer that didnandrsquo;t register the correct speed. Dad thought than would come in handy if he got stopped for speeding. He could then have it fixed. Dad loved the new car and mom liked Cadillacs so all was well. I remember the family driving up to the Worldandrsquo;s Fair in Seattle Washington in 1963. My sister and I split the back seat and it was packed with all my Barbies and my sisters Troll Dolls, each on there respective sides. I always sat on the passengers side and my sister behind the driver. To make the trip more affordable, they though weandrsquo;d camp on some nights and stay in motels the other nights. We had never camped before so off to Sears we went for camping things. The latest in a tent, no center pole, was purchased with all the other stuff like a camping stove, lanterns, sleeping bags etc. Dad loved to BBQ so he got a small habachi for BBQing. On the way north, we stopped in Yosemite to stay for about a week. When we stayed in Tuoluomne Meadows, it was cool at night. He BBQandrsquo;d something for dinner and we turned in for the night. At some point, he woke up and it was cold in the tent. He brought in the smoldering habachi to warm up the tent. A couple hours later my mom woke up coughing. She woke everyone else. My sister wouldnandrsquo;t wake up so they carried her out to the fresh air. My dad had never camped and didnandrsquo;t know that he tried to kill us with carbon monoxide fumes. My sister did come to and we never camped again. We made it to the Fair and home without other incidents. Dad drove Sherm until the late sixties. I took my driving test in Sherm. The man at DMV told me that he wouldnandrsquo;t make me paraell park the car, if I could do a K turn Iandrsquo;d pass. Iandrsquo;d take Sherm cruising the Esplanade in Redondo Beach and up through Hermosa and Manhattan Beach. I could fit all my high school friends in it at one time.I started working in a bank
