Just remembering some real things

 Pic of the day:

 

 Sherry's Summer Bible School class at the old Presbyterian church,

Yeah, she has always been cute.....

For today:

Remembering somethings makes me smile.  The white wall tires of the past. Buying tires at one time involved trading in your ‘recappable’ tires.  White walls cost more, at times $23, Blackwalls were about $15 while recaps were $8 to $10. Therefore most of us cheap guys bought black walls and added what was called white wall rings.

Oh yeah and if you bought WW tires you could mess them up if you parked against the curbs, so you added ‘curb feelers’ and listened to the hit the curb to save the white wall.

This one I never understood why we did it, but we bought ½ Moon head light covers.  I turned mine so the car looked ‘cross-eyed’. It cut your brilliance down ½ but we didn’t care, they were cool.  LOL

I miss bumpers too, they protected the body of the car, now they are decorative, not protective.

We didn’t have a TV AT HOME, if we had, it would have been black and white.  Then the COLOR TV came out and many folks could not afford one.  SO some GENIUS(?) came up with a plastic screen cover that went on the B/W screen. It was shaded green at the bottom and blended to light and the upper was shaded blue. LOL  Yep people bought them.

And if you were close enough to that TV station you could use indoor rabbit ears and not have one of the high outside antennas.

I know some of you who read here KNOW some of this OLD stuff,,,,
