Pluggers by Rick McKee for July 28, 2011

And a factory 8 track.

My first car’s radio (AM) didn’t work so I got a large transistor radio and set it beside me on the seat. The heater did work. It did not have AC though.

Sounds like my dad’s car when I was a kid!

My first car had a heater, but it was stuck in the ON position. Great for winter, not so great for a Texas summer.

First car (1961) was a 1938 Chevy 2-dr.. 3 on the floor, small 6 cyl., no radio, and ALMOST no heater. (almost non-existant)

Ah,the picture reminds me of one of my numerous cars.Specifically,I am reminded if my 1961 Plymouth Valiant coupe.Very small 6 cylinder motor,pushbutton Torqueflite transmission,pushbutton AM radio.And 440 air conditioning;that’s 4 windows open and 40 miles per hour.(Sigh).I wonder where the prince is today.Oh,as a whimsy,the car was named"Prince Valiant"!

I can also remember the days when you had the choice of two body styles……….with or without chrome…..

My first car was a 7 year old 1950 Chevrolet. It had chrome so I had the deluxe model.

62 Dodge Dart, my first car as well. The radio had a rear seat speaker with a “Reverb” unit!

I put a portable radio in the dashboard ashtray of my first car. It got jammed on my favorite station. However, it was stolen. I suspect the thief wasn’t that interested in classical music. The greatest loss was it had NiCd batteries.

‘geezers’ comes to mind, actually

Bench seats so the girlfriend could cuddle up while you’re driving. Those were the days.

Mine had an a.m. radio and no heat . . . or a.c. either, for that matter. God, that car sucked!!!!! But I was 16 and it was freedom so I guess you can’t beat that!

ahh…one of my favorite cars…a plymouth valiant. hopefully with a slant 6 engine.

62 Valiant with a slant six. Boo Yeah!

goodness! lighten up….I am 64 and am hardly a bigoted ageist, what I DO like to do is poke fun. how it must be difficult to walk around with that attitude. I feel sorry for you
