I usually only tell people that Truman was president when I was born. I will turn 61 in 18 more days.

^^45 and over is still the largest age group, although from what I've seen in Los Angeles, those who are actively into the vintage "scene" are under 45.

What? The 45 and over set there reside in rest homes? The under 45 scene end up being in the over 45 group soon enough. It just takes time.

You've seen those who make it to the Queen Mary Event; most are under 45, including yourself and your lovely wife (not to mention your two vintage boys...).

The vintage crowd here in NYC is youngish, too. I'm 55, but my wife is much younger/cuter/more interesting than me, so they let me hang around.

 

[Widebrim]

^^I guess we here in L.A. would let you do so, too...

Hi

I'll try and get a copy of my Mom (81) with ole Harry. She and Dad went by his place in Independence Missouri back in the 1950's. I thought that the top age bracket of 45 was kind of low. I felt a lot snappier at 45 I did.

Strange thing, age. You get prepared for things to drop out, spread out and fall out. But it's when the memory goes too that throws you.
We were going to a rather indulgent 1930's ball last Saturday, my wife has a showgirl type of corset, that she wears with a wrap around skirt, to create a fabulous ballgown. Before attaching the skirt, she hooked up her seemed stockings to the corset, came into the bathroom, turned around, bent forward, and said: "Are my seems straight?" "They sure are." I replied, admiring the view, "and that's not all that's straight."
"You've had that!" She retorted.
Well, I don't remember.

I'm actually 16 (going on 17).
I'd say that I'm doing rather well with my style than most others my age.

 

[jamespowers]

Gee, I have cars older than some of you here.

 

[sheeplady]

Given this forum's interests, I'd imagine lots of people have cars older than a lot of the folks here!

 

[Shangas]

I have fountain pens which are older than most people here. Put up your hand if you existed before 1901.

I've got a 43 year old Jeep, a 34 year old motorcycle & a 31 year old motorcycle....

I was born the same year that John F. Kennedy was
inaugurated as President of the United States,
and Woody Harrelson was born.

 

[Widebrim]

^^I remember when President Kennedy was shot.

 

[jamespowers]

^^I remember when President Kennedy was shot.

Yes but you remember when Woodrow Wilson was elected.

 

[Widebrim]

^^And if I recall, you voted for him...

Well, yes, most of my cars are older than me too.
