    Why doesn't the Golden Era extend to the 50s or early 60s?

    Every time we advance somewhere, we lose somewhere else. The cars run longer, but they are built cheap, and look like they are, too!

    Perhaps you're right. Your theory makes complete sense to me. Whatever it takes to get people excited in tradition and in vintage, in general, is alright by me.

    Wow, who'da thunk. I know Grandpa Jones and Stringbean were good friends and lived closeby. Surprised by the reaction from him, though you're right, I'm sure with the recent murder, they were all on edge.

    Why doesn't the Golden Era extend to the 50s or early 60s?

    This is very true. I just saw an ad at an antique shop, I think it was for a 1949 Mercury, bragging that it was "the car that lasts 100,000 miles." Today, if a car has 100,000 miles on it, it's not even broken in yet. My high-mileage car is my Cadillac, which will hit 163,000 in the next...

    Sometimes that rebellious flair that people have really works against those of us who like tradition lol

    I wish I had one! I would love to set my trains up!

    True, but that's what the modern consumer considers a grocery getter. As for the coach-built Cadillac wagons of yesteryear, even Elvis had one.

    No, but it'd be pretty neat!

    Fair enough. The other one's a Buick, that's pretty high end. I reckon that would be the highest brand wagon you could buy from GM, even to the end, with the Roadmaster Estate.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Yup, always been a big fan of Johnny Rodriguez. I think he's way underrated. In fact, I was singing "That's the Way Love Goes" on my way out of work, about 45 minutes ago lol The weather kept me in all day yesterday, so I rolled cigarettes and watched The Rockford Files and The Andy Griffith...

    Pulled into the supermarket on Saturday, wearing my Stratoliner. A guy was standing there, smiling at me like I was an old friend. He said, "I love that fedora, that is a nice look!" He kept walking with his friend and I could hear him talking about how he remembered how everybody used to wear...

    I've seen better coach built jobs. I hate when the cargo area's window doesn't line up right.

    The Caprice 9c1's are awesome cars. I just disliked that bubble bodystyle. I think they could have done better, but the Aero Crown Vics that were around at the same time were even more horrendous.

    I always thought Gunilla Hutton was the best looking of the gals. You're right. I was just saying that they had to be somewhere in those dates, because of Stringbean, and Don Rich's passings.

    That's exactly why he was there.
