is this at the pontiac museum in pontiac ?

my dad had an 84 cutlass supreme and my mom an 84 delta 88
then they tried to steal one of them when my dad was parked downtown ( he worked downtown )
so he sold the cutlass to my aunt and bought an 88 ford ranger.
sold the ranger to my brother and bought a 92 dakota ( i loved that truck )
my mom traded in the delta 88 for a 1994 cutlass supreme SL 4 door ( my first car in 1999 )
my dad traded the dakota for a 98 blazer which he ditched in 99 for a 2000 durango.
when i bought my moms car, she bought a 2000 solara.

my mom traded the solara for a 2008 IS 250 ( 2 years ago )
my dad traded the durango a couple years ago for a 2011 frontier.
