  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Do you remember when...

I remember both the Edsel and Corvair,
How about the Packard? Remember their slogan, "ask the man who owns one"
My dad had a Packard, it's the first car that I can remember.
 
Does anyone remember when Richard III was broadcast on national TV (NBC)? It was a big hit. Americans actually watched!

If it were shown today on network TV, it would require "American" subtitles. That pesky blank verse is practically unintelligible! Now we have Ashton Kutcher, the Olivier of our time. :mad:

Do you remember when little kids were sent to go in through the milk chute to open the front door when the house key was forgotten?

Yes, great response purina. I saved my family many times as a tiny tike, from being locked out of the house. It was a sad day when I couldn't fit in the milk chute anymore. I still see my dad in the house with a milk chute, except now there is aluminum siding covering it.

Kutcher? lol.

I never rode/drove a Packard. I know the name.

How about Auburn, Cord, Duesenberg?

Their old Mfg Plant in Auburn, IN is a museum for them now.

Not all that far from Detroit, Chicago, Toledo, Cleveland, or Indianapolis.

Those I don't remember, my dad drove a Kaiser when I was born.
A man once told a salesman that he wanted to buy a car for his girlfriend, "I don't know if I should get her a Kaiser and surprise her, or a Frazer and amaze her" the man said, The salesman replied, "why don't you get her a Tucker?"
 
I became fascinated with cars when I was 4/5 (1954/1955). I could tell what each make, and model, was. After church, some of Dad's parishioners would let me sit in their cars, or maybe even take me for a short ride.

I remember Packards, Hudsons, Kaisers, Willys, Studebakers, and the makes that survived beyond. We could only afford a Chevy. My Uncle Paul drove a Ford, and my Uncle Walt a DeSoto. Funny how those three brothers each drove a different brand. Those days, folks were adamantly faithful to their car manufacturer. I recall several interesting "discussions" whenever the family would get together. Grandpa was a Chevy guy, too.

I owned a ’65 Studebaker that looked like this one, complete with white walls. Mine was a Daytona, though.

It met its end when another driver ran a red light. The Stoodie was running on only seven cylinders and rusting out, so it was no great loss.

Shortly before the crash, the rear axle shifted when a leaf spring broke. That was scary. The steering went wild.
 
do you remem-BAH the tiiiiiiime we fell in loooooooove

oooh sorry i forgot where i was for a minute
 
Aluminum Christmas Trees - a la "A Charlie Brown Christmas"?

We had one for years.

My dad bought the Aluminum tree back in 1959 or 60, he had a revolving light that sat on the floor, the big disk would revolve in front of the spot light and the lenses in the disk were red, yellow and blue so the colored light from the disk would change the color of the tree.
 
^ Never had them, but I remember both the tree and the light. Our neighbour had a floodlight which did the same thing. He put it out front of his house. It was quite novel back then. Now, we have laser Elf Lights.
 
Do you remember when you could go to the cinema (double feature), and buy a bag of chips on the way home and still get change out of a penny.
 
Peeonme - our color wheel was actually four colors,

It was still working the year my mom put it and the tree to the road without telling us.
The next year they were going for $900 on e-bay.

Ours might have had 4 colors, I was going by memory, but we might have had what looks like amber in there.
 
Yahoo/Google look-ups show both 3 and 4 color wheels.

Cormac, I didn't mean to ignore you - I can remember shows for US$0.25 back in the day, but nothing as cheap as a pence - even allowing for them to be 20 to the pound sterling.

Before or around the time I was born, my parents had a Kaiser, which I don't remember. I can barely remember the follow-up car, a Nash, which was traded in, in 1952, for a new DeSoto. We had it for quite a few years until we then got a Ford Fairlane (I think), a station wagon. (Fairlane or Falcon, those two always confuse me...)

Kaiser-Fraser, Nash, Chrysler, Ford...not a lot of brand loyalty there. (Was Nash part of Hudson?)
