I always thought this was a cool car too! Same era as the Batmobile and Black Beauty!

I've only started watching Route 66 reruns. I don't remember seeing it much as kid. Milner went on to star in Adam-12. I don't remember much about Maharis. He's still alive though at 93.

Remember these? When men were men and women held my interest! :sneaky: I used to work in a restaurant, and the waitresses would wear daisy dukes because it increased their tips.

'69 Newport Custom 383 4bbl in seafoam green with turquoise interior was the first car I ever owned. Always drove Chrysler Dodge Plymouth products till I bought an Omni 024. Dumped it for a K Car. Bigger mistake. Bought a F150 and that was the last thing I ever bought till I quit driving. Still have a '69 Barracuda fastback in the underground parking here.

My '69 was seafoam green, too, with black interior and a black vinyl roof! 383, but not a 4bbl, though. But it did have the posi-traction rear end. That thing beat a Z28 going uphill every day after work! Amazing...because it was 2.5 tons!

First camera I ever had. A Polaroid Land Camera. Got it for Christmas one year. Kept it for a long time until I first got sick. My relatives threw a bunch of my stuff away. They had not only stopped making film for the camera, Polaroid had gone out of business.

My Dad has a photo with a border that says, "This photo taken with an original Polaroid Land Camera." (Or words to that affect - going from memory here.) His story is that they were going door to door selling shares of stock for $1.00. The camera was the flip open version in a leather case per his description. Imagine what that stock would have been worth over time. Over the years we had several Polaroid cameras. They were sort of 'coming of age' Christmas gifts for me and my sibs. I used Polaroid film up to 1980ish before I got a job transfer. I still have a holder which used a variation of the film for the above. Used it with a 4X5 view camera (I have one of those, too + 3-4 lenses) for test shots to check lighting/composition. I can still smell that sticky fixer for black and white film.

I got my camera the year I turned twelve. It was also the year I stopped getting toys for Christmas. That was the year we moved into our new house. I'm still living in it today. :)
The film came in a box like this.

I used a Polaroid back for my Hasselblad 500CM, for testing lighting before shooting away, mostly for portraits. Still have it, but it's kind of useless. So is the Hasselblad these days. Rented a 4x5 view camera once. I think it was a Toyo. What sharp 16x20 prints you could make from that film!

Back when the movie first came out, I bought a model and hung it in my room. Bought the blueprints for the movie model too. Just recently lost them.

Until Nightline and the Gulf War started up. :sneaky:

I remember the day President Kennedy got shot. I was out side playing in the dirt like any normal five year old. My mother ran outside, grabbed me and dragged me back into the house. She was scared. The news said that Kennedy had been shot in Dallas. Most of this was over my head. I was only five at the time. But I think they only broke into regular programming to make the announcement.

I don't remember that incident but I do have the newspapers from that time and a book on it called The Torch is Passed that my dad got. It's in storage.

There's a crispy snack food sold out here which is identified as pork rinds. But I am uncertain whether that's the same thing as chitlins.

I did think the sardine key looked familiar, but the context wasn't surfacing. I never ate sardines, but Dad did, and that's how one got them open until the pull-tabs became common. We occasionally had spam, but that was rare enough that I probably wouldn't have remembered that you needed a key to open it.

I ought to have remembered vienna sausages, though. I'm pretty sure those were another can with a key.

I think there's still a few things with those pins but the vast majority are now pull tops.

Sardines, I find a little hard to believe. Spam, actually considering what's been reported to be in it... not so much. Just out of curiosity, have you ever had chitterlings, or as us real southerners call it, "Chitlins"?

Chiterlings? Given what I was told they are I've never been interested. LOL Pork skins or cracklings are another matter.
