- New car designs changed every year or two (and every manufacturer's cars looked unique)
- There was no interstate freeway system
- Local transit buses were actually trolleys, with the overhead electric lines and tracks laid in the streets
- Mailing in cereal box tops to get prizes sent to you
- Top Value savings stamps
- Getting coffee mugs, etc. with a fill-up at the gas station
- There were no 'self-serve' gas stations - and the attendants who filled your car up always checked the oil and washed the windshield
- Getting each successive volume of Funk & Wagnalls encyclopedia at the grocery store
- Only 'expensive' cars had air conditioning, power windows, and door locks
