Think of how the folks in 2037 will laugh at the fashons (and cars) of today...not to mention what we consider as the latest in electronics...

I can't get past the jump suits.
Did anyone actually wear those things!? (Born in 1978.)

<- Born in 1971. I actually have memories of people wearing that kind of stuff when I was a kid.
I suppose in retrospect I should be thankful that my elementary school required uniforms (conservative, vaguely military-ish types). I can't say many of today's fashion trends are much better however. . .

I don't have to imagine. I recall my dad had one of these behemoths on his dashboard in 1977.
 No wonder the first Escort was such a hot seller... Tim |

LOL, I still have one of the first generation Escorts around somewhere. Not the giant that the Fuzzbuster was, but it was still a pretty substantially sized device.
I agree, people will always look back 30 years and chuckle at bit at the fashions, but the '70s really were unique and extreme. (I wonder why that was?) |

Don't forget that pinnacle of automotive audio technology - the 8-track player.
I still remember going on a road trip with my dad in his hulking 1977 Buick Regal (replete with 8-track player & vinyl roof) listening to "Kool and the Gang" on the 8-track one summer. Ahh, to be a kid in the 1970s. Then the head gasket blew and we were stuck on the highway for hours. No joke. I think that car had about 40,000 miles on it and was only about 2-3 years old at the time. It already had started to rust too.

I had this outfit. Or one very close to it.
That explains the need for all the therapy.
