    My dad owned a 53 Cranbrook. I learned to drive and it was my first mechanical experience vehicle, both. I build cars now and he was very sad I didn't take it off his hands and tow/ship it 1800 miles home with me when he retired it. At that moment I was not in a place to take it. When he passed I got all of his original brochures and display them proudly in my garage as an homage to him. It was a unique car in many ways.
