30 Vintage Photos From 1973
Aol ^ | 06/20/2025 | Rachel Schneider

The year 1973 was full of change and entirely groovy. The U.S. pulled out of Vietnam, Roe v. Wade shook up the courts, and gas lines stretched for blocks as the oil crisis took hold. On the flip side, bell-bottoms were in full swing, Pink Floyd dropped “The Dark Side of the Moon,” and a little horse named Secretariat ran straight into the history books. These 1973 photos represent how electric the year was.

It was a significant year for me. In some ways it seems like forever ago and other ways it’s hard to believe it was that long ago.

I was 5 in ‘73. Great cartoons, and we lived in Ft. Lauderdale. I was a feral suburban kid, the youngest of 5. I walked to and from school on my own, could walk to the store, and the cartoons were BRILLIANT.

I do remember carpet in one of the bathrooms in the house we had in Stuart. It was lime green.

The year I graduated high school.
I never really thought the era was about anything except a bunch of people too focused on themselves.

This has an agenda. I do not remember seeing women with a tattoos except at a carnival freak show. Not one. Never saw a electric car in the 70s, ever.

I remember seeing this exact bathroom - in purple too.

98972404-D977-4-E29-AAF6-8-F5-E6-B9-FE07-E

I love shag carpet - love it to this day. Beats the generic, flat "oatmeal" that everyone seems to have these days, or noisy wooden floors which I hate even more.
