1969The family car doctrine was adopted in Colorado in Hutchins v. Haffner, 63 Colo. 365 , 167 P. 966 , 1918A L.R.A. 1008, where this Court held a husband liable for his wife’s negligent operation of a family automobile, “upon the theory that the wife was the husband’s agent in carrying out one of the purposes for which the car was purchased and owned.” Some years later, we imposed liability on a widow for the negligence of her son.

1952The first case, so far as we are advised, in which the family car doctrine was considered by our court was Hutchins v. Haffner, 63 Colo. 365 , 167 Pac. 966 .

1984In Hamm v. Thompson, 143 Colo. 298 , 353 P.2d 73 (1960), the court stated: “[T]he common law rule prohibiting contribution between joint tortfeasors does not apply to a master whose liability for the torts of his servant is based on re-spondeat superior, for even though the liability is joint and the two may be joined in one action, they are not joint' tortfeasors.” In applying the principles of Hamm v. Thompson here, we note that Everett’s liability for McCall’s injury was vicarious, based solely upon the family car doctrine.
