Funny how you never really see people pulling boats with sedans anymore. It's usually a pickup or SUV.
College-educated men who had white-collar jobs in the 1950s into the 1980s didn't drive pickups as a daily driver.

Trucks were exclusively for blue collar folks to do blue collar things in for a huge percentage of Americans. Admittedly less true in the American South but still largely true here.

The closest to having a truck that they may have come back then was to have a full-sized SUV but that was usually for a family with a bunch of kids and the mom used it as her primary transportation.

Station wagons (estate wagons in the UK) were more popular then too as there were only a few choices of what would later be sized like a modern mid or a small-sized SUV*.

1973 International Travelall (several Moms (no pics) of my peers had this brand in '60s & '70s)

Grandma kept her glass dildo on a chain around her neck.

Times were hard, unfortunately for her the men weren't back then.

My dad drove a 72 International Travelall.. They used it with his beer business pulling a beer trailer for events.

Looked just like this.


The International Scout is actually considered the first SUV..

Not always. My dad drove a pickup. Had a PhD from LSU.

You must either not be his biological kid or you were repeatedly dropped on your head as a child.

Or both.

A video clip, but some might be interested

A Bob Hope USO tour, Vietnam 1965:

quote:

The charming woman in this clip is 1st Lieutenant Sharon Marie Forman, staff nurse at the 85th Evacuation Hospital in Qui Nhon, Viet Nam. She served a year in Vietnam in 1965, and a subsequent year in Japan. She went on to have a long and distinguished career in the military, and was elevated to the rank of Colonel. Eventually, Col. Sharon Forman Bystran became the Chief of Clinical Nursing at Walter Reed Hospital.
