;help I Do !Now I really feel old. I remember all of those things and then some. I pumped gas when it was 28 cents and nearly every Summer there would be gas wars. It would get down to 10 or 12 cents, some times. That was when a couple of bucks worth of gas would last the whole weekend. Those were simpler times and I do miss them at times. Now a USED C5 costs what you could buy a house for.

My swimming pool was the spring house after they picked up the cans of milk.

A quarter got you into the Saturday double feature, candy & soda but I had to bring the extra nickle home to mom.

The starter was on the floor under the clutch but the tractor had a crank starter.

Yupper I remember those things and more.

They we're simpler times.I liked the pointy bras my second grade teach wore.

Yup, remember them all. Sleds had metal runners, but a cardboard box and wax paper worked better. The public transportation was a trolley with overhead lines. Girls wore dresses to school every day and there were no school busses. It was LEGAL to be paddled in school. Buying a coke in a bottle was a treat. And if you were allowed to have it, you went to the soda shop and had a cherry coke. Barbie was introduced. You were safe going for a walk and walked everywhere. Nobody had a car, but if you did, you were the coolest. We took our own 45's to the dance to dance to. Radio stations were AM. Whitewall tires. Ratfink. Yup, I remember.

i remember SHELL gasoline had platformate in it for extra mileage, SINCLAIR gasoline where you can "dial" your own octane, guys would put a wild woodpecker with a cigar in his mouth decal on their rear windows, and skirts over their rear wheels, a knob on the steering with a nude woman on it, a car wasnt cool if it wasnt souped up. teachers at school would tell us not to look at the sun on the day of an eclispe, a hot lunch at school was 28 cents. and most of all if we got caught chewing gum in class, the teachers would make us put the gum on our nose :L . the late 50's 60's, and early 70's were some good days.

Thanks! I feel young again.....:D

I remember oil in a can, where you had to have a spout with a spike to open it.

I remember when Hooker Headers didn't refer a prostitute's technique.

I remember when the 7 Forbidden Words were Forbidden.

3 networks, and PBS.

Ray Stevens being the big Novelty Music guy, before Weird Al.

Music without swearwords.

Underwear worn under clothing.

Stepping back a few years when I started driving, oil was in a glass bottle with a metal spout screwed on top and it sat in wire racks by the gas pumps. Oil was oil and no sae rating on it.

Thanks for sharing this.
I remember when i bought a used 63 impala, since i couldn't afford mags, i bought high gloss black paint and painted my wheels. i don't think i even waited for the paint to completely dry before i put on the next best thing to mags. BABY MOONS. :upthumbs

[DRTH VTR]

I remember that, too.

I remember phones with no dial, just an operator.
I remember when $75 per week was a very good salary.

"I Remember Mama" .... on TV

"Winky Dink" ..... kids TV where you had a plastic screen and crayon to draw a bridge for Winky to get away from the bad guys. Probably the first "interactive" concept in kid entertainment?

When Del Shannon was having a coffee in a small shop between his "lyp sicn" shows at local movie houses and asked us kids to come and sit with him.

Even the car lots left the keys in and on cold nights on a long walk from down town you could get out of the wind and let the motor run till you got warm.

The first time I saw any air conditioning (except for a movie house), was in my uncles 59 Chevy with a "Vornado" unit ...... "but where do you add the ice?"

Walking the rail line to pick up chunks of sulphur that fell from the hopper cars was worth about two days of entertainment. The fact that a "stone" that looked like "gold" and burned was just magic.
