Remember when

Rope handle (robe cord?). As a little kid I remember hanging on to these flying down bumpy dirt roads.

 

40 Buick?

 

That rope was a blanket holder. Poor heat in the back seat of those old cars.

 

Aquanet is like super glue in spray form.

 

ill take a photo of the "cough" syrup from the olden days... it's quite an eye opener based on the cocktail of ingredients...

 

Remember when freedom of speech was a thing and the internet was savage and you can talk all the shit you want without getting banned cuz you hurt someone’s feelings

What was that?

 

And, if we are lucky, you will have a new Daddy pretty soon!

 

‘48, though some cars had these well into the ‘50s.

So I’ve read, an old Buick manual identifies it as a “robe rail cord” and some cars had them as late as ‘57 and heaters were better then. Never saw a blanket on one so not so sure it wasn’t for hanging “robes” or coats etc.

Update: Found this. “Robe” apparently a term used for a special blanket in days of old. I suspect the robe rail was used more often for coats in the ‘50s.

 

Oh Lord! Just look at that button-tufted 1920s leather upholstery!

I can just smell the curly horse hair now!

 

My 1978 Jeep has one of these.

 

Remember when school bus monitors used to check under the bus for kids?

 

I can`t say I ever saw that done in the sixties where I lived.

 

My favorite place to ride was on the ledge at the back window.

If I needed a car seat back then I would have never been taken any place or tossed in the trunk and told to be quiet.

 

I had lots of Uncles that came to visit for a few days then never returned.
