  11. Outlining The Long Life of my Grandfather’s Car

  12. I own a car that has special meaning for me because it belonged to my grandfather. When he was a young man, he saved money so he could buy a beautiful car to use on trips around the country. He finally bought a Cadillac convertible. It was white and blue with silver trim. There were white circles on the tires, and it had a powerful horn that made people jump out of his way. The seats were also white, but the dashboard was black. The steering wheel had a brown leather cover.

  13. The mats were gray and always clean. My grandfather took very good care of the car, and after he died my uncle gave it to me. I am very happy because it still has the original motor, and body is intact. If it has problems, I will fix it myself. I plan to take very good care of my grandfather’s car because someday I will use it to travel to all the states and cities that my grandfather visited when he was a young man.
