circa 1963...I remember 27 cents for gas...same as a pack of cigarettes and Carroll’s hamburgers were either 10 or 15 cents.
I remember my ‘64 Ford Fairlane Sports Coupe with a 289 Shelby engine (from a junk yard) and weekend nights with a quart of Wild Irish Rose and a Half gallon of Dog ‘n Suds root beer. The three guys in back would bail out and I’d race ‘68 and 69 GTO’s until they cried. Go back to get my buddies and all the root beer was gone.
27¢ a gallon? About what you’d pay today, if you paid with silver coins.
