Not sure if the baked potato suited driver was in much less peril than the t shirted dude trying to extinguish a nitro blaze! These guys were pioneers, with a lot of guts.

 

when i grew up in the '50s, every kid wanted boots like those! of course, mom said only "hoods" wore them, so they weren't in the cards for me...

 

the pic of the bikes brought back memories. back in the '60s, most of my buddies in st. louis rode hondas. used to stay with my aunt and uncle in milwaukee, where all the guys my age had REAL motorcycles--harleys!

 

They were not hoods...they were "Bad Seeds" my mother warned me about them....

What does "56 sticker time" refer to? Did drivers have to go through vehicle inspections way back then?

 

I know N Carolina , Virginia , W Virginia , Pennsylvania and Texas had inspections back then . Virginia had them EVERY six months !

 

They were called hoods here too.And I never understood the connection, we live in the sticks no neighborHOODS around here.
