I think you might be getting the names, Chubby Checkers and Chevy Chase mixed up. You know that sort of thing happens more as we get older.

Sure did. I will begin to get concerned when I go to introduce my best friend and can't recall her name. ROFL.

This is not my 56 Chevy I had in my teens but is my 58 I have now. Just had her out about 3 days ago for a spin.

What a car! Thanks for posting it. Have fun driving that. Can guess many look when it goes by.

Wow, My husband loves Classic Cars. We go to the Car Shows whenever they are close by. They have a real good one in Moultrie, Ga at the Expo.....More cars than you can cover in one day. I guess I'm partial because I was born and raised there!

What do you remember when?

Hm, I wonder what one can find in this, here thread...

I remember when we rented our first apartment for $55. a month. And it had two bedrooms too.

What year was that?

Rented a 2-room cottage, for $60 monthly in 1970.

Mom using a ringer wash machine, and drying all cloths on a cloths line out side.

My *Sunshine-dryer* didn't get replaced until 1970, either.

Collecting tin cans, rationing sugar, and no nylons available during W.W.II.

Born/raised in (a once communist ) country, our Basic-staples were severely "rationed" LONG after WWII; like beyond the 60's . In fact, who knows how long that continued, after Ronald Reagan insisted on [SIZE=-1]June 12, 1987 [/SIZE] "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear-Down this WALL ! , and [SIZE=-1]OPEN this gate![/SIZE]!"

Mom bought me a used bicycle (my first) for $5.00 and painted it herself with house paint. I loved it!

Yeah, I did the identical thing for my own daughter , in 1991.

I could go on and on...but it's your turn...and you don't have to go back so far as I did...just what YOU remember when.

Well, lesseee what else of positive Helpfulness..., we can herein find...

My first car was a a 1940 Ford Deluxe, with a flathead 8 (dual points) and suicide doors. I had to buy new tires 'cause I drove thru a harvested wheat field and the stubble caused three flat tires. Four tires, 7.50x16s, mounted and balanced and installed cost $25.00. 'course that was a week's wages.

Cheapest I ever bought gas was 14 cents. Down the street, it was 13 cents. Gas war.

I went to a one-room country school in the first grade--eight grades in one room.

Outhouse out back.

We little ones had to stay on the good side of the"big" kids, or they wouldn't pump the well so we could get a drink at recess.

This HUGE yellow bus came and took us to the city school the next year. White milk in the machine was 2 cents, chocolate milk was 3 cents. Boy, I envied those kids who had the money to buy milk at recess. One kid had a whole nickel. WOW!

Hi Bonnie

Yup "another, older than Dirt " ~ and you know what this means, right? ~
yup, we is *sparkling... DIAMONDS*

oh, and re"25. Real Ice Boxes".
When I came to the USA, I got awfully worried.

The biggest ice-box I'd seen (by 1965) was 2x3 ft; and twice weekly I had to haul the block of ice to cool it.

My mom's bottom-freezer & top-fridge was 2x4x6 ft. tall. And I did not look forward to having to haul that ice-block twice daily ~ Imagine my relief being reassured to the contrary.

Cheers!

How about good old Sat. Evening Post!! Norman Rockwell paintings. When my daughter moved into her house the upstairs bathroom's wall paper was of this magazine. The people that lived there lived through that era and I liked it but not daughter so it came down. She didn't even know what it was all about, this generation!!! What do they know?

I have a full sized art book of his illustrations here somewhere in the cabin. I open it up ever so once in a while and chuckle. Somewhat before my time but some of the occasions are nostalgic.

This is sure bringing back memories..... too fun!!
