Another Cool Old Photo - Gerald

[MacUser]

I thought you would enjoy this shot also.



Can't you just smell all the ozone and greenhouse gas pouring out? Hummm.
Apparently we should have kept it this way.. maybe it would be warmer right now.. BRRRRR.

Also no sissy navigation systems or cell phones. Just the tunes, gut instinct on direction, and open road.

First thing that caught my eye was the aqua oval ragtop on the right and then just how many Bugs are caught in that picture in addition to a Ghia and a couple of Buses. Did you obtain that photo from a VW contact?

[macgulley]

It's only missing a "Type 3" and a "Thing."

[MacUser]

Yes. It has to be around 1968?



Also look at this one. The guy in the leather jacket looks remarkably modern next to these older cars.

O well No it's not.

I think it's funny that several cars have 3 adults in the front seat. You don't see that anymore... well most of the time.

looks like at least 6 spuds.

I think I like the firebird right side going away from the shot.

It reminds me of a street we used to live on and how many classic cars we had within about six houses.

72 dart
72 cutlass
67 mustang
72ish Mach I
71 challenger
72 dart swinger
76ish charger

Oh for what we let go.

Response: If we had only known then what we know now.

[bibleguy]

No AC or power windows and door locks either.

...and I don't see any seat-belts in the bunch. When they made cars solid like Sherman Tanks, people survived crashes without being harnessed in. (When I was a child I made numerous 500 mile road trips laying on that shelf inside the back windshield.)

[MacUser]

Ahhhh.. the back window. I still remember the warm sunshine!

We're now so scared and literally panic at the idea of not buckling up.

Exactly and there are still SOME finds out there. Go get it while you still can.

This photo was taken in Greenwood, MS (circa 1970).
This dealership at one time was known as Charlie Cummings VW and Valley VW.

I had a car from this lot that 30 years later had only 20k miles. I cherished it and later sold it overseas to UAE.

I knew Charlie Cummings (above vw dealership owner) then a very older gentleman and he tried to buy that car from me... but during that time, nadda.
