       Those "Bread Bags" sure brought back some memories.. I was "Wonder Boy" I could run through the snow like a deer when I had them on.... ............

The one thing i wished was still around was when you had a disagreement in school you could
go to the gym teacher put the boxing gloves on and settle in right there, to day every one would be in jail. on a lighter note how about the ho slot car tracks we had in our basements. and i still collect today. mostly the van tho,

Sunoco 260 for 27 cents a gallon!

Having a ride that needed it.

There was a street behind an industrial park that people would dump junk cars. I used to go there to get parts to keep my junk on the road. Cops didn't care if you were scavenging, as long as you weren't dumping the cars there.

I pulled a 350 out of one of those cars for my 69, surprsie surprise it had a rod knock....

Nickel soda pops in the chest style cooler at the service station. 7 or 8 oz bottles. Usually a local company was one of the brands. Cherry pop fizzing thru yer nose !

LOL Digz now I had to wipe my nose. Penny candy and collecting bottles on the side of the road..

Hippo -size soda water!!!!!!!!!!!! penny candy --- candy bars -5 cents  

Oh!!! I remember uh.......maybe not

how about a black cow ???

How about those little wax Coca-Cola bottles filled with juice and those little round candies filled with chocolate inside called "Sixlets" ? Or flipping for baseball cards in the schoolyard...Once a year at our elementary school, firemen would come with a firetruck, climb the ladder up to the roof of the school, and throw down all the balls that ended up there from recess. Kids went nuts trying to catch them before they could hit the ground! Good times, good times!!!

Here you go how about the 57 chevys in the claimer division at the local dirt tracks
around my neck of the woods You could buy any car in the race motor included for $650.00 if they would not sell the car they were ban from racing for the year,,,

5 cents a roll of caps and 50cents for a nice cap gun, I used to take a hammer to a hole roll. how about playing cards in your spokes on your bike, or balloons

People used to PAY me to tow big block Mopars out of their back yard....

Rotary phones and only one usally in the hall or kitchen.

Hitchhiking with no problems to go across the country

How about going to MC Donald's and feeding 4 people for $10.00....Or spending $100,00 at the grocery store and over filling the shopping cart.!!!..

Free love without fear of death....

 Man that sounds all too familiar.

Lieutenant Lunsford cut us a lot of well appreciated breaks.
