Vintage shots from days gone by!

I need one of these little cars....badly.

 

I remember the Ice man, makes me pretty old huh ?

 

The day's of home delivery...........progress sucks.

 

Interesting! Anything known about this car?

 

We thought we were smart.. went with Intellivision... guess what.. lol

 

ice truck used to come through my neighborhood 3 times a week. pulled by a horse , owners name was mr. topping. anyone remember selling the newspaper "grits" 5cents a copy.............

 

rbantique rocks!

 

Twin Pines!

As a cub scout in 1964 - I was a participant on the Milky's Party Time TV show.....

Hmmm?? Sticking knives in the wringer washer,
ok....but in the Fuller Brush man??? That's just
going way, way too far, in my opinion!!!

But for the rest of your "dream," - except for the
'bread truck' ever coming back and 'dad having
a new (or even any) car(!)' - and the fact that the
7-cent Coke might cost 7-dollars, the way the
economy's going, the rest of your nightmare - er,
I'm mean "dream", just might be coming true
again for a lot of people!

Had a guy send me the email and picture below, thought you guys would enjoy this one. PS this car was electric powered and 1/4 scale

Hello,

I stumbled across your website and was amazed to find out that there are people that collect these little cars. For Christmas 1960, I received a 1960 T-Bird Jr. I have enclosed a picture of me sitting in the car next to an expired parking meter. If you’d like, you have my permission to post the picture on your site.

Sadly, I no longer own the car because when I got a little older, it was traded for a go-kart. The go-kart wasn’t as shiny but it went a lot faster! Sure wish I still had that little car today!

 

moefuzz: I don't wish kids could experence any of that. I wish I hadn't.

 

i dont want to go back either BUT if a lot of the kids today had a small taste of what it was like maybe it would change their attitude and their out look on life. no running water, an out house and sears-roebuck catalog for toilet tissue. i could add a lot more but kids today laugh when they are told that.

 

These kids just need to live at my house, the power goes out a lot and then I have no heat, running water, lights or technology... loads of fun!

Plus this winter the roof almost came down, it leaked badly and ruined almost everything I own, and both my furnaces died when it was -50... and that made the plumbing and septic freeze... and then I went to town to get furnace parts and the brakes failed on my truck... I'll take some apathy and video games over this any day!

At least it seems like spring is coming, the snow started melting the other day! YAY!

 

Here's a few trucks.
