Eight-track tape players. TV show "Then Came Bronson". Movie "Vanishing Point". Gas was 30cents a gallon.

 

i'm "only" 44, and when we started driving, gas at Tenneco was .249 a gl., a buck and you were set for the night.
Remember in high school a friend's parents were celebrating paying off their 30yr mortgage, 67.00/mo, they still live there, house is now in 100K to 150K range

 

member....member when the Honda 305 Scrambler was one of the fastest motorcycles on the street. One of the sweetest sounding bikes ever.

Eight track? what about the 4 track or 4+4 Craig or by Muntz, the blue light? OH i just remembered, I still have a 1950's issued Red Ryder original...remember??

 

Careful! You'll shoot your eye out!

 

member...member sling shots? member shooting the neighbors cat with a marble. Member shooting straight up an wondering where the marble would come down? member ball bearings? you could put one in your sling shot and kill stuff... like blue jays. Member you could make better ones yourself than you could buy in the store. We used rubber strips from a car innertube, leather from the tongue of a shoe, and a forked branch from a china berry tree? member red rubber innertubes? they were the best.


sling shots were awesome

yeah Bronson was cool. i was leaving the house on my bike, and my wife yelled "where are you going", and i tried to be cool like Bronson and said " where ever i end up, i guess", so she said " well you better end up here, in a couple hours, to take me to dinner!", Bronson had it made, that dude was awesome!!!!

BABolt, where in the hell did you get that??
What a hoot that picture is!

My old man's car was silver with obscenely red leather and deep,deep pile carpeting. Looked a little like a pimp-mobile. The rear end of the car was totally unique to that model. Dual exhausts built into the big chrome, wrap-around, flush bumper. And, see the fin in the back? The first day my old man had the car I walked into the fin and had a bruise that must have lasted six months.

Another photo for you.

The photos are from a car show on the grounds of Ford Engineering (7/23/99). This Cadillac was a real beauty. I wish that I would have take more photos of it.

On the subject of old cars, I'll soon be the proud owner of a mint-condition Studebaker GT Hawke, circa 1962. The only problem with it is the transmission. I plan to get a complete overhaul of the drive train, and possibly a studebaker supercharger, I beleive they were one of the first to turbo charge/ supercharge their cars. Its a sweet ride, golden

 

Cord had a blower on theirs in 1937, great looking cars

 

Now THIS is a car!

 

this very pretty slick, back in it's day, the car was nice too
