:lol: My, how times have changed. I found on Reddit an even more recent package dated 1966. (Just different package colors and a ZIP code replacing the zone number.) Had I been born ten years earlier, someone might have thought these were a great gift—and I would’ve kvetched that the...

A ’62 Chrysler proved tougher than the ’57 Chevy in this front-rear fender bender.

Why piss off just one customer when you can piss off two? I wonder if the 5th Ave. owner is on the F-M-J forum.

From reddit.com/r/justrolledintotheshop/ Customer en route to shop after being told his Nissan was ready; he was just around the corner when shop called again and said, “…come back tomorrow.”

Interesting access panel in front! :wideyed:

When an ICE truck was actually an ice truck rather than just any ol’ truck that runs on gas or diesel.

Wonder how many Millennials, Gen-Z-ers and Alphas are blissfully baffled by this sign?

“Jet Driers Collide During Drying Efforts for 66th Daytona 500.” For some reason I find that hard to say fast. Good thing that neither drier driver was named something like Drew Dreysdale!

From when you couldn’t watch TV on a pocket-size mobile telephone:

A couple of the cars in that video are of a once-familiar make: Oldsmobile. I think I saw a Plymouth station wagon in the full-service gas station. Some of the films in my classroom had separate audio and had to be synced manually. Also, those film strips where a beep in the audio cued the...

A railroad bridge in Durham, N.C., has “earned” a website. 11foot8.com, because drivers notoriously fail to realize how tall their rigs are. Most are driving RVs or rental box trucks. Some are professional truck drivers. (!)

It would SUCK to need to use a toilet right then and there… :wideyed:

No wonder those Imps are usually banned. Lincoln Continentals, on the other hand: A friend used a ’68 300 back when they were “just” used cars. Same thing happened to it when he terminated a Lincoln. The Chrysler kept going… Safety advocates have been criticizing rear seat designs for years...

I miss that kind of advertising. Rare these days: too much dreck that makes Earl Scheib sound like a college professor.

One of the very few times that I saw a Mopar on The Price is Right was when one of the showcases had a Lawrence Welk theme. The car was a Dodge Aspen (’76 or ’77, I think).

No, thanks. Too many people have already bought Buick Envisions. Typical of my observations: I found a Chinese-made hammer next to an American-made Stanley. The latter was more expensive, but not in proportion to the differences between Chinese and U.S. incomes.

Does this house make my car look big?

If I rebuilt my Dodge Dakota from the tires up, it’d cost less than a fancy new truck—and I’d like it more. New vehicles depress me, too. I sometimes envy my parents in that their eight-decade lifespans predated social media, excessive computer tech, autonomous vehicles, etc. Not to mention all...

Haven’t seen a Forward Look model up close in a long time:

Very foreground: ’56 DeSoto. I think the car at far left, hidden behind the Imperial, is a late Fifties’ Mopar wagon. I missed the Dodge semi.
