Now that is funny that her parents wouldn’t let her buy it. I wonder what was up with our folks back then????

Circa 1970, a classmate of mine had an opportunity to buy a pristine 1956 T-bird convertible with porthole top for an amount similar to that Camaro. It belonged to our former Jr High science teacher, so its pedigree was well known.

Her parents wouldn’t let her buy it either.

If she had a crystal ball she could have said, “but Mom, Dad, do you realize how much this will be worth in a few years?”

Yep blaring music in the 70′s sure was different than blaring music now. These days the music can crack a windshield. I agree these days music can be offensive, in the 70′s I suppose people thought The Who singing about their generation was probably offensive as well, which could lead to a Retroflections article about what was offensive then and now. Thanks for reading.

I don’t remember having a “first” car, but I remember the first time I was given permission to take the family car, a HUDSON, to a school event. One of the bad boys in my class put a firecracker type device under the hood while I was doing whatever, and when I started the car something exploded, and my dad had to come and get me. My dad was terribly upset because the damage cost him eight bucks.

I bought my own first at age 65! And I didn’t have to blare offensive music to declare my “car independence”!
