If I start talking like this, people will probably look at me real strange, daddio.

I believe Lead Sled would only be used for full sized automobiles (e.g. C-Body Chryslers like the Newport, 300 and New Yorker, Caddilac Fleetwood, Lincoln Continental).

A VW Beetle, MG, Sunbeam Tiger, Corvette, Corvair, Mustng, Comet or Valiant would never be called a LEad Sled.

Wow. Reading that list, I just received a Snapper Carr flashback. Real Gonesville, Daddy-O.

I just don’t understand how those people communicated back then. Oh, well, TTFN, GTG!

Noodle it out is still used. Actually wasn’t it Neal Boortz that used it or a variant?

One thing I remember about the fifties were all the beatnik joke. Unfortunately, I don’t remember any of the jokes. Dig me daddy-o?

My grandparents lived in Venice, CA.
I loved going to the beach and seeing the coffee houses and those people dressed in all black with the original skinny pants.
My Gran bought me some jewelry from one of the shops, it is still as beautiful today as 1955.
I still remember my Gran saying “damn beatniks”, they always let their kids run around the beach naked.

Hey cats, how about a new you for '42? Want to look keen, sharp and hep? Get yourself a zoot suit with a reet pleat, a drape shape and a stuff cuff!
