Clean looking folks there. No tats....no hippie hair.
I was at that World's Fair. Dad worked for GM and he took the whole family to see the GM Pavilion. I remember seeing that concept car...and many others. I think I have an old B&W snapshot of it somewhere among the family archives.
That poor boy in Middletown, NY needs some hub caps or wheel covers for his car!
It weird looking at these pictures, knowing that all of those cars are probably crushed.
I still kick myself for not buying an Amphicar at a swap meet some years ago. It was quitting time and the guy was motivated to sell and I had the cash. The car was quite restorable.
“Clean looking folks there. No tats....no hippie hair.”
And note their weights, as compared to today.
Is that a VW Beetle pulling that tiny trailer?
PING! Memory lane 1960s.
BFL.
“It weird looking at these pictures, knowing that all of those cars are probably crushed.”
My dad had a 30 acre junkyard in Leonia, NJ. In 1969, the town had a meeting at 2am and condemned his place to make a park. He had 60 months to get everything off the place. Many cars went into the crushers.
later.
America. Before Liberals ruined it.
I noticed that too. The guys look like guys and the girls look like girls.
As soon as I can afford a DeLorean with a flux capacitor I am heading back to the 60’s.
Not only is that a VW Beetle pilling the tiny trailer, but that is a 1968 Bug, NOT a 1965 Bug as the caption says. The taillights and rear bumper tell the story.
It was our culture. We failed to defend it properly against the radicalism that arose in the mid-to-late Sixties. And then we elected those "former" radicals to office, in large numbers.
America died because Dad Wasn't Cool Enough. The schism between the Sixties kids and the Thirties parents was so great that the Sixties kids tried to erase every single thing the Thirties parents ever built or believed in. The Sixties kids holding political office today are still fighting that battle - and they have largely convinced the Nineties kids to follow their lead.
See the USA!
In a Chevrolet!
Wouldn’t you really rather have a Buick?
Note the foreign license plate on the Bug....................
“...America. Before Liberals ruined it.....”
Each pic is worth a thousand words, but it all spells the above.
