Okay since we are doing cars...transportation...
How often did anyone take the Train or bus in your town?
I know a train to NYC to Penn Station was about 4 dollars round trip.
(It's around 12 now)

I also remember those Cordoba and the Volare commercials. My mom had a relative who drove a 1975 Chrysler Cordoba, and they were garbage. I know Ricardo Montoblan did a very good job in those commercials, but a very good car does not need a commercial to sell. I don't ever recall seeing a commercial for the 1977 Trans-Am, but I know the first Smokey and The Bandit movie was the best commercial for it.

".....we were able to look up and watch those young ladies, who wore those skirts, and were walking next to, or close to the banister... so we got a free show! Yeah, I know that was bad.... and the only reason I did it was because my 2 buddies, and many other teen-age boys, were doing that also.. ...."

LOL.. hey come on now dear.. I was just a typical kid.. besides, Victoria's Secret didn't open in Metro Center until sometime in the 1990's. 
I quit doing that sometime after I turned... 50.. - No, I'm just kidding, I stopped doing that long time ago, probably after I turned 19 or 20. |

I used to take the City bus all over town when I was just a kid....If I remember right, it cost around 25 cents....If my parents didn't take me somewhere I would take the bus. Seems crazy now to think about it now, me being a girl. I don't recall ever being scared or being denied to ride. Back in the 70's there seemed to be less weird-os on them...or so I thought...
Was it the Camaro or the Trans-Am that had the shiny silver disco-y (sticker) covering where the inside gauges were? I always thought that effect was neat-o... |
