I realize I don't know how to post a photo from my PC. When I hit the photo icon above where I'm typing it asks for a URL. If I copy and hit Paste nothing happens?

I remember when all the new models came out in the fall and were covered up
on the trucks.
We used to ride our bikes to the local dealerships at night and shine a flashlight through
the back windows of their service bays where they parked the new models until the
announcement date.

Enjoy

Thanks for the reminder. Those were the years when each model year was distinct from the previous year. Now days most cars, especially SUV, look alike no matter who the manufacturer is. Nice pictures!

My first car was a '69 Huggar Orange Camaro. This cute guy at work had a '71 Firebird. Our first date was to the Oswego Dragstrip (Illinois). We got married and have had over 50 cars. We've been involved in car shows and drag racing. Cars are a great hobby! Restore 'em, don't crush 'em.

Some of the old futures I remember on old cars,:

Dimmer switch on the floor, left side.
Manual roll down windows.
Side vent windows.
Cloth Bench seats.
Radios and AC were a luxury or optional.
Plastic clear seat covers, (cold and stuff in Wisconsin winters.)
Steel wheels with Snap-on hubcaps.
Continental spare tire rack.
Cruiser skirts.
Hugh back seats.
Outside spot lights. (Great for shinning deer).
Collapsible steer wheel.
Hollywood glass packs.

What do you remember?
