Honeymoon continues for 1956 Olds 88
The 1956 Oldsmobile 88 Holiday sedan proudly driven to car shows and parades by Norris and Phyllis Teague is the same car they drove during their honeymoon in the summer of 1963.
“This car holds a lot of memories,” said Phyllis Teague, 73. “I remember it from the time it was new.”
It was her father, Everett Spry, who first purchased the four-door hardtop on April 3, 1956, for $3,629.30, from the Rhodes-Hartzeld dealership in Muncie, Ind. That’s the same city in which Norris and Phyllis Teague, and the car, still reside.
Borrowing the bride’s father’s car, the Teagues took their honeymoon trip to Holiday World, a resort community in Santa Claus, Ind.
