Yep, '70 LS5 Chevelle in '75 was $100/month too. I had a "bit" of a driving record as well...:dunno:

For a new driver in the early 90s, several insurance companies would not even insure(full coverage) me on any V8 car. Hence an 89 Daytona Shelby, which ironically was quicker between stoplights...

Over 100 years ago you could get a crazy lift for your ride

Since the 1960s, the Penny Lane sign has been stolen so many times that the city started painting the road name on the wall instead, before eventually installing theft-proof signs in 2007.

Nikola Tesla sitting in his Laboratory with his “Magnifying Transmitter”.

Gus Lessis,1926.Here we can see Greek strongman Gus Lessis bending over backwards with an 800-pound rock on top of his chest. Next to him is a man readying himself to smash said rock with a hammer. Now this is a very impressive feat of strength, but we just have to ask ourselves—why would anyone do this?

It’s strange to see any picture of Albert Einstein looking like a regular person or doing regular things. His eccentric looks and demeanor, coupled with his truly legendary abilities and mathematical legacies, make him feel truly like the stuff of mythology rather than a regular guy, let alone a husband and father.But here he is in 1939, looking like just a regular dad, albeit with a wacky hairdo, as his daughter sits on his lap while they both attend the opening of the Jewish Pavilion in Queens, New York.

Dr. Wernher von Braun, an aerospace engineer that was a leading figure in Nazi German rocket technology, and then United States rocket technology, photographed standing in front of five F-1 rocket engines in circa 1969.

Testing of a bulletproof vest,1923.

Painting The Eiffel Tower,circa 1932.

This bra design was really popular in the 1940s and '50s.Just think of that when you criticize modern fashion again.

Back in 2019,a Reddit user posted this throw-back photo. “My grandpa worked as a park ranger in Yellowstone Park,where he took this photo of The Three Stooges when they visited in 1969."

And then the bumpers on cars followed the trend...:laugh:

Bulletproof vest test dummy, no thanks!!

Wise guy, huh?

I THINK I posted this one previously, but it is worth a second look. Besides, I am certain I am not the first person to double post. Next time you have NOTHING to do, you need to go back through this thread from day one, and pick out all the double posts.

Best seat in the house .

New ‘64 Impala

Mt. St. Helens....Time to go!

Cool car , bad idea .

During the 70's, I saw a few of my friends/acquaintances trapped under their cars from a bumper jack leaning sideways and falling over. Fortunately, none of them sustained serious injuries, but a few had bad bruises and pain for a while.

It's hard for me to believe now that a bumper jack was even a consideration back then.

How else were we going to twist those spring spreaders in there...:cool2:
