Amanda Uren of the Retronaut site posted this from 1965. Leave it to toymakers to dream up
something NEW to wear Dad out BUT give him a thorough cardio workout! (Glad this wasn't
still around when my kids were little! They wore me out with piggybacks and bouncing on
my foot. I wore out, but they never did! )

I'm home after 40 years.

 

I didn't know that Tillamook has been around this long.

 

Hot Rod Willys re post 57766 that is one neat photograph. Just another shot in the arm for the best thread on the internet.

Keep them coming folks.

 

I loved watching the Three Stooges when I was a kid.

"HOLD ON!!----I feel a big fart coming"

 

I'd be more inclined to think this kid was building the base for a "crate" based scooter, not inventing the skateboard, given the vintage of the photo. Gary

 

YEP!----We used to nail a wood crate to the board with a smaller piece on top for handles.---Then someone came up with the idea of nailing a small tin can at rear, stuffing it with paper & lighting a match to the paper,---Then take off trailing "Smoke"!!!----Don

 

Back then!!

 

This is photo-shopped. There is a '58 Vette and '58 Chev wagon. Try to take a picture of a drive-in screen with a movie in progress at twilight with a film camera in 1958 and see what you get. Do you think you could draw that kind of a crowd in L.A. for a two-year old movie?

 

dood dood,...dood,dood

 

I must still be a kid then.

 

THANKS, guys! Hell, for a minute or two, I thought I was onto somethin'! Still a cool pic, SWI!

 

Hey, Don! Here are a couple of cool menus for ya. I understand that the Hamburger Hamlet -- the original and the later
ones, too -- were something special!

As Pat Paulson would say on Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in
"Picky, picky, picky..."
.
One of my favorite lines of his:
"We have upped our standards, so, up yours!"...

 

This car has a lot of the same design cues as one he worked on 6 years later.
