Speaking of 1965 Chevrolets .................

YouTube - Chevrolet Commercial of 1965

Those were the days when you could tell what kind of car it was a block away. Now days they all look alike. Sad to think the whole Ponderosa gang is gone.

 

[outta hours]

Just a few I remember:

Here's your safe driving award

Here's your Christmas turkey

Here is your years of service award

Think Pernell Roberts still around

I remember going to the dealership to see the "New" cars every year. As you said, now they all look alike and it seems like every month a "New" model is introduced.

I remember as a kid doing just that! It was more fun at night, when all you could see were the headlights.

I am playing my Atari 2600 right now. Just got this new game called Pac Man.

How about Intellivision-do you remember that?

How about Intellivision-do you remember that?

Yeah, intellivision really pushed the envelope at the time. The football game was considered cutting edge as opposed to the atari's football game whose players looked like space invaders. Remember those George Plimpton commercials for intellivision?

When I was young we had a milkman and a bread truck that would drive around the neighborhood .Nothing was open on Sunday except churches.
A rotating antenna gave you less fuzzy TV reception.The rich folks had color TV's.

They have color tv in Canada now ??

They have color tv in Canada now ??

Late night Canadian TV would make the censors at HBO nervous.

pickup - they actually acknowledged this with the 1978 superman. After seeing lois dangling from a helicopter, clark looks for a place to change and goes up to a payphone without the booth. He looks and comes up with a better idea: change in a rapidly revolving door of a hotel lobby.




4 rolling around in the back of a Ford wood grained panel station wagon with my bros,while dad chain smoke up front with my mom holding baby sister on her lap!

Pickup- had the same station wagon, (did it say country on the side) there was a seat that popped out in the back ( the far back was a great place to be- out of reach of my father's swinging arm) and the middle seat folded if you wanted to put something like a long piece of furniture in it. Wotta a great car!!!

5 being put in the corner during class facing the wall for being a smart ass!

pickup - true, so true




8 topps cards .10 a pack

10 tv off the air & waking up to that funny noise with that weird looking thing on the sceen

Man, I don't slam a screen door that hard!!

 

[dilligaf]

Did anyone mention "PACKAGE CAR"? What an archaic term. A lot of the older mgt. gets insulted if you call it a "TRUCK".

LOL< that's why I use the term truck every chance I get.
They also seem to get offended when you call the stuff we deliver "Freight".

Yup, yup!!! And they hate when you refer to the hub/center as the "barn"!

It all sounds good to me.

 

[dilligaf]

Line dried clothes smelled so fresh, but you're correct, stiff as a board!

And towels were so rough!!!!

Couldnt wait till Sat. afternoon rolled around to watch the Major League Baseball game of the week..... didnt matter who was playing. Anyone remember Major Astro? How about a late nite show called "Nightmare"

 

[705red]

Speaking of shows, what about Dr.Who?
Underdog? Twilight zone?

yeah, the saturday game of the week! I remember watching a disproportionate number of st. louis games on nbc. This is when runs counted, bunting to move a runner over to get the run in and it hurt if you were rooting for the other team. Now, there can be a five run lead and you know that can be eliminated in one inning.

 

[BLACKBOX]

Here's a good one!...How many of you remembered to "Pledge Allegiance" to the flag in your "homeroom" class before the day started? When did they stop doing that?

I love these nostalgic threads. It shows even though we grew up different states- even countries, the days when things were simpler, were the best days of our lives in my opinion.
