Things that worked great, but you just don't see anymore!

this is true. it is illegal for you to pump your own gas in New Jersey, ive had friends come visit and i had to teach them how to pump there own gas, other wise they would just sit in the car till some one asked what they where doing? lol lol

 

your an I D TEN T

 

im not computer savy so i cant post a picture but i know one thing that was GREAT and i wish they would bring them back. how about, the little triangle window in the front seat of the old cars that you could direct the outside air flow any where you wanted without having to open the Big window and blow everything everywhere! the window was called a wing if i remember correctaly. someone post a picture for me please>

 

I had the same one but in gold. I loved skidding out the rear tire.

 

In your honor!!!!

I miss'em, too!

 

While we are talking about cars, I also thought the headlight dimmer switch that you used your FOOT for was fine!!

 

What music? LOL

 

My Mini-8 8-track player from K-Mart I installed in my '68 Mustang with a 390 engine never missed a beat and never ate a tape.

The twin, 8 inch Pioneer speakers in the back provided beautiful sounds.

Percy Sledge never sounded so good!!

 

You're welcome. :lol:

 

1973 Dodge Dart Swinger, brown with black vinyl roof. the car i drove in high school. good times

 

well thank you one and all...lol..I feel ancient!!!
Metal ice cube trays, those car jacks and scissor jacks, fotomat, rolled film, instamatic and polaroid cameras, banana seat bicycles, 8 tracks, records, the "may I check your oil" service attendant, Typewriters, the floor dimmer switch and vent windows, and the vents near the floor of the car that let in fresh air....lol all that I remember.
:mrgreen:I had an 8 track player with two speakers AND a power booster installed in my AMC Gremlin. I bought the stereo from Woolworth and the guy installed it free cuz I was cute! lol..I remember that!
Side vent windows were wonderful and those I miss!
8)I miss understanding what was under the hood of my car before everything went electronic....my other AMC Gremlin had a problem with the linkage sticking. I would throw it in neutral, coast to a stop, Pull off the air breather and jiggle the linkage until it freed itself. Now, all i can do to a car is turn the key..lol.
Oh I never had Charles Chips to my home but I know they used to do that, but I did have a milkman. And the neat metal box outside the front door....
opcorn:AAAANNNNDDDDDDDD>>>>>>>>>>>>>Public hangings SHOULD make a comeback!! Maybe drug dealers and murderers would have second thought after wittnessing a few of those.....

 

About 10 years ago I actually bought one of the metal boxes for Milk delivery on Ebay. Still have it packed away for now.

 

You know the moon landing was all faked in Hollywood Didn't you see Capricorn 1? LOL

 

I found one of those at an antique shop, and it sits on my front porch. It still has the styrofoam in it, too!

 

My grandfather went to his grave believing the moon landing was fake and that the guvmint staged it at Disney World!

 

Well it makes sense that Disney produced it. Cause we all know the moon is made of green cheese and Disney's mascot is a mouse

 

Car Hops

 

Thanks Kent and I too miss the foot swithch for the headlights.
