Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

[jamespowers]

I miss colors like green on cars. I miss when cars weren't the same colors as today's vinyl siding...

That is one of the things I don't miss. Hippie vinyl tops, wierd 70s colors like avocado green, poo poo brown harvest gold and other crazy colors that belonged on a Miami Vice episode. A lot of dope was smoked to get those colors across.

Stoned, color blind bachelors were picking the colors in the seventies.

Their arrogance was their undoing.

I'll have to agree with the color of cars today.
Although computers now come up with the colors, sometimes I see a new car and wonder who clicked "okay" on that creation!
What happened to colors like "Fathom Green?"

And Ricardo Montalban sold them out.

I'm not just talking 70's.

What about the two-tone jobs of the fifties?

Remember AMC, and their host of hideous colors? (As well as models)
Here is the essential list of cars that we all probably have known and hated, in no particular order. http://allworldcars.com/wordpress/?p=2208

CAROLERS.

In the good old days. There would be 4-5 Carolers walking the neiborhood and singing Christmas songs.

The bell-ringers at Wal-Mart were caroling yesterday. I couldn't believe it.

Hi Tom
Hopefully the Carolers will not get stampeded by the shoppers looking for deals. LOL

That'd look better on a British sports car.

Well shadow gray and canyon coral weren't too bad. This gray and pink combo is too dark---especially the pink.

Brewster Green, Channel Green, Commercial Green, Drake Green or Highland Green?

Windsor Maroon and Phoenix Brown are nice, too, particularly with Vermillion or Straw wire Wheels.


I've also always had a soft spot for the Big Blue Oaklands.
