Skulls, Dice, Shrunken heads, but have you seen these before?

Yeah, might not be as bad *** as most things hanging from hot rod mirrors. But when you get older and yearn for your favorite times, you get brave..............

 

Thats pretty cool.

 

Remember as a kid back in the 50's seeing baby shoes hanging from many a rear view mirror.

 

That's where I got the idea. This is what I would have my baby in for her first shoes......................

 

Big thing of the 50's.

 

Yup. I've seen it!

 

Nothing more nostalgic than good old saddle shoes! Hushpuppy still makes them in black/white, brown/tan and maybe one other color set. I came close to buying some last time around DSW but p***ed for some Bjorn comfort shoes.

 

Didn't every parent have their kids baby shoes hanging from the rear view or bronzed into an ashtray or some such thing on the end table in the living room.The Single guys all had a "Strippers Garter" hanging from theirs so many in fact I think we are the only location that had 8 legged strippers just so there would be enough used garters to go around!!

 

Very common thing with the baby shoes. But mine got made into book ends, mounted on 90 degree brackets and "bronzed" for preservation. My sister still has them some place in our treasure trove of silly stuff from our past. Gary

 

cool.now all ya have to do is make the baby...LOL

 

Or at least get in plenty of practice.

 

You stole some poor kids shoes? That's HEARTLESS!

That's way more ******** than a feller with a skull shift knob.

 

I still have a pair of black & white saddle shoes that I used to wear in college in the '60's!!! Hoo, Boy, does that ever date my sorry old ***.......

Brucie....... Is that when TV was still in black and white?

Not sure I'd hang them from a rear view mirror. You might get hurt when they start swining around...........lol

 

in my neighbourhood they normally hang shoes off the powerlines not rearview mirrors.

seriously though i personally can't stand anything hanging off my mirror.. drives me nuts!!

 

I know what you mean Fuzzy. I don't really like anything swinging back and forth in my face while I'm driving either. But it's good for the shows........... I just have a thing for the 50's and saddle shoes.

 

I can remember as recently as the mid to late 80's seeing baby shoes hanging from rear view mirrors. I always wondered if the idea wasn't to remind the nut behind the wheel it was time to drive like a grown up now that there was a tiny human depending on him.

 

I have been rocking some little pink chucks in my 51 for about 2 years now...... its even cooler now that I know the used to do it in the fifties..... thanks hamb for the history lesson.

 

i'm with you bro, i don't like anything hanging there either.

 

My babygirls firstpair of chucks are dangling from my mirror...

 

For us in the mid 60's, it was our graduation t***el. Even if the colors weren't right.

 

Damn, man, your girlfriend has tiny feet!

 

I can remember mine, bronzed, hanging from my Dads rear view mirror. Thanks for recalling the memory.

 

Someone lost thier chuks..

 

Back in the day of pull-top beer cans, we used to string em together and hang them from the mirror and yes, graduation t***els and wedding garters. I think technically, it's illegal to hang anything on the mirror in Wisconsin.

*******, I have had ******* hanging from my mirror before. And before anyone asks they weren't boxers.

 

I remember all that stuff including little boxing gloves.

 

Damn it my wife pitched those baby chuck taylors!

 

Being a non drinker I had forgotten the pop tot chains and the mini boxing gloves. I remember only 1 guy with the shruken head deal

 

Great minds think alike and all that.
