  • @inkey2 How well I remember those days... almost wish I could go back!!!

  • @inkey2 Maybe so, but I'm old enough to remember cars back then. I almost never came across cars with no radio.

  • @liddlebopeep Maybe get a loan from a desparate finance company. But then when you can't make those $900 a month note payments, guess who comes to take your new ride?

  • @itsmegp46 True, but practically ANYONE can buy a MB, BMW or Jaguar as long as they have a source of income. Easy credit allows anyone to own one of these luxury cars. You don't need to be a millionaire or a successful businessman to buy a late model Benz or Audi.

  • @itsmegp46 yeah, no radio......but when you consider the average wage index in the usa for 1955 was about $3000 a year .........so 30 bucks was probably a months rent

  • @inkey2 Not even a radio? Damn, whats that cost back then, $30 factory installed?

  • @liddlebopeep Big MB's, BMW's, Jaguar, who says cars don't make a statement. I'm also guessing you weren't around 50-60 years ago. But trust me, cars were a necessity, especially if you had a long commute to work or lived in a rural community with no mass transit.

  • @inkey2 Also, car ownership is not really a big deal anymore. Owning a car used to say you had arrived or were successful. Today, cars are a necessity and I guess that's why they seem less "special" than they did in the good ol' days.

  • @rever65 yeah, cars started to really suck when they started designing them as "appliances" instead of mobile works of art and styling

  • @MrSloika the one thing that did stick in my mind for all these years.....at the end of one long family trip, 6 people in a 1955 plymouth 4 door, a car so stripped that it didnt even have rugs or a radio....pulling into an A&W Root beer stand.....we were just dieing from the heat and looking back on it we were probably clinically ill from the heat.......my dad bought us all hot dogs and a HUGE cold glass mug of root beer.....it was like being reborn it tasted so good
