In 1970 I was 12 years old and living in the DC area. I remember being very concerned about the Viet-Nam war and the protests in Washington. They were huge and had a big impact - socially, politically and personally. My mom was an RN and a nurse practicioner and was treating tear-gas victims and other injuries at a free clinic in Georgetown. WOW, talk about flashback... Whew, OK, back to Chebby trucks, I remember this BIG kid (all of 17) in his new Chevy truck and - get THIS! I thought the plastic dash bezel looked kind of CHEEZY!!!! LOL!!! OK, so the kid was a rich punk and I didn't like him, and that of course spread to his truck. I should have just shoved him out at high speed and took it!!!
I remember thinking the 50's trucks were the REAL trucks and the new 70's ones had too much plastic!!!! What a crack-up!!!
Thanks for taking us down Memory Lane! Hadn't thought deep about 1970 in a loooong time! H.
