How Old Are You?

I had the PB transmission in my '63 Plymouth (loved that Slant 6!)

Under Dog?

Floor mounted starter button, posts are to large.

There's no need to fear.......Underdog is here!

Correct!

'58 Chrysler my day's friend had in Cuba had it.
Use to race my dad on the strip to Vardero Beach.
My dad would kick his butt in his '59 t-Bird.

My 69 Camaro had the floor high beam switch. Replaced it every few years. Seems like the sand or something would cause it to wear out. I actually prefer it to the signal stem switch.

^^ THIS ! How big a pain is it to get comfortable with your left arm up on the window for 10 seconds only to be forced to move your left arm, grab the lever, pull the lever to dim the lights, wait for the oncoming car to pass, flip the high beams back on, put your left arm on the window for 10 seconds, wash-rinse-repeat.

Much better to keep your arm comfortable and just tap-tap with your left foot.

My parents had a few of these that we used every day. They were eventually replaced by the plastic ones. We repurposed them by taking teh guts out and using the metal trays as water bowls in our rabbit hutch.

Another one...

$69 in '66 was a small fortune for a bike. The Schwinn 5 speed fastback was the coolest thing on two wheels.

[Steve]

And I had the 3-speed version. My parents couldn't afford the 5 speed on a NCOs pay :)

I often post the instructions for a similar old tray on "How to Make Ice" for those morons at the office that take the last ice cube. :sl

Mine had a sissy bar that also had a headrest, well ahead of the auto industry.:D
It was a Colombia 5 speed, red.

Wow.
Metal ice trays with lever.
Man is that an oldie.
I remember I considered the plastic and twist the most incredible invention since fire.:r

[dave]

How about those truly innovative folks at Miller Lite????

[dave]

or even older... :sl

Ahh, yes. Columbia House record and tape club. We used to sign up the principal's kids so we could get our free albums.:r

My Brother in Law back in the early 70's bought a console stereo from the local department store. As part of the sale, he had to select 500 8 track tapes from a list. That's a good size pile of tapes.

Isn't that keyboard older than the tapes?:r

[Steve]

I remember those Steve.

How about these? These were more fun...didn't need the gun. A rock would work just fine.

Those were the first ones that I had...

Remember the rockets you could get that used these as well? You threw them and when they landed it set of the strip.

[CigarNut]

Another oldie-but-goodie (I did not have one, but my neighbors did -- my brother and I were very jealous!):

Those things were awesome, Steve. I might even still have mine someplace.

After starting to clean my dad's place out, I am sure I will uncover a LOT of things like that tucked away! :D
