About all of them. The silly putty picking up the cartoon was a fond memory. I remember gas way cheaper than 67 cents a gallon too!

When Taco Bell actually had a bell! And still served olives! I miss those.

I'd like to walk into the Ward's and buy a Magnatone or something similar.

good stuff !
The Silvertone's in the case. I vaguely remember that with my Mom holding my hand walkin' through Sears Roebuck.
Now-a-days I see 'm at guitar shows for roughly $600.
(Got my first credit card at the Monkey Ward)

Jack in the Crack ! I think I still remember what they taste like... Like Burger King with McDonald's Big Mac Secret Sauce. :popcorn:

I still admire Classic Hot Wheels & MatchBox, but i'd really love me 'a Verti-Bird again :thumbsup:
Little Rock'm Sock'm Robot's would be kool too !
...but most of all I would like to get an adult-sized Game-room domed Hockey rink (with electronic score board, of course )!
Would be the grown up version of a Coleco - "Stanley Cup Playoff" set with all The Original 6 team sets!
We'd be playin' for Beers, no doubt !

Jimi.. I call it Jack in the Crack too. They are still around, but if I'm out west it's In N Out Burger hands down. You are the only person other than my Sicilian grandma I've ever heard call it Monkey Wards because she couldn't say Montgomery Wards in her broken English. It was so funny. Thanks for bringing back that old memory. She passed Jan 15, 2013 at 98.

Another Nostalgic pic is what we did to the In N Out Burger Bumper sticker.
We would cut the B and the R off then Slap it on the back of your jacked up Nova with Centerlines.
That was how we rolled.

Loved the pic of the Drive In speakers but brings back iffy memories….went to my first drive in with my girl friend thinking make out session here we go :twisted: I started to get cozy with her when she says, “What are you doing? What WE do is push the front seats all the way up, lean them forward then get in the back seat. There’s much more room”….good thing it was her first time, too…. :scratch:............ :shock:

We didn't have Taco Bell in this area then, nor Jack In The Box ever, but I remember all that other stuff and being in 3rd grade with a crush on Ms. Scanlon during '73-'74!

They should have added a Stretch Armstrong. Or odd and even days for getting gas during the shortage.
