I get your point, but there are actual cool station wagons.

Without station wagons, how do siblings establish a vehicle seating hierarchy?

You have shotgun, the back ... and the way back. The way back was reserved for the youngest, "least essential" siblings.

The first car I remember my parents driving was a powder blue 1963 Ford Falcon station wagon, with a straight six. My brother started driving it in 1969, when the parents bought a 1969 Buick Wildcat, with a 430 cu. inch engine.



He took it to LSU in 1975, and drove it until 1978. Manifold gaskets were forever burning up on it. It sounded like a Sherman tank. We called it "The Blue Flame".

Vinyl?

I say this laughing, but I am actually serious. Supposedly bush is making a comeback (not the band).

The 90's were the height of catalogs arriving in the mail. Online shopping was just starting.


My 84 year old mom still gets a bunch of catalogs. Some days she'll have seven or eight come in the mail. She does Amazon, and orders stuff from Sam's, and has it delivered too.

In the 70's, and 80's, we got Christmas catalogs from JC Penny, Sears, Montgomery Ward, McRae's and Spiegel.

She still gets Land's End, and a few others she used to order stuff for us from. She's a sucker for gadgets for her kitchen, so she gets catalogs from all of those companies. She orders directly from vitamin companies too.
