Sputnik
I remember in 1957 when we where standing in the window looking at the sky. We saw the "Sputnic" moving like a star.
"Sputnik" means travelling companion. Sputnik 1 was sent out in the space by Soviet the 4 of October 1957. The Satellit looked like a ball and the weight was 83 kg. Sputnik 2, with the dog NLajka, was sent in November the same year. The weight was 508 kg.

Volvo
In 1958 my parents bought a black second-hand Volvo PV 444, E-model. It was driven 4500 mil. The next PV was called Olivia, an olive-green PV 544. 1962 they bought a new green Amazon, it was an estate car and they paid 17 300 Kr (a little bit more than a half year salary).
