I actually had swivel seats in a car once... my '79 Ranchero... bucket seats that swiveled so you could get in and out easier....

Nice!

How about an old style corded rotary phone adapted for your car... Cannon was a habitual user back in the day.

My first cheby truck was a 1976 1/2 ton, 8' bed, A/C, loaded, 4x4, 350, 6" lift, 38" tires, with a 3 on the tree. :eek: :rofl2:

Another of my favorites back then was the amazing bumper jack.... get the whole dang car jacked up and it would fall sideways and bend the crap out of the jack and the bumper... LOL

Buddy of mine had a 70 Monte Carlo with a 454 4 speed with the swivel buckets.

And back then all cars had about 5 ashtrays, often with a cigarette lighter in each of them.... that was way before they invented cupholders...

Yeah, now THESE were "options" paying extra for!

Down here in FLA they still sell cars with heated seats. WTFH???? Ain't nobody got no time fo dat!!

Not sure if anyone else remembers going to order a new car back then... you sat down with the salesman and went over every tiny detail.. each little thing was separate... there were no bundled option packages..

An auto adjust mirror was $34
Floor mats were $28
The air conditioner was $279
A vinyl seat instead of the cloth one was an extra $120

Every item could be spelled out and you get your car in any dang color..

Eventually the car mfg's realized it was taking to long to produce each car because they could all be slightly different.

------

Now it's just... okay this comes in 4 colors, and you get your choice of these three option packages... and how many payments do you want ... 48, 60, 72, 84, 96?

There's more choices in the financing then in the car itself...

Oops... got to go to a meeting...

Hate to get fired on my last day...

The last couple of years for the Viper. You could order it any way you wanted it. There was over 18,000 combinations. No two was alike. :rofl2: You picked out your own custom body colors.

The hand shake and get the fvck out. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. :rofl2: That's what I got. :shakes head:

It's one of the coolest parts of cars like that. You know you're getting something unique.

My 59 has 5 ashtrays all with lighters.As for cup holders.How about magnetic cups for your mini bar in 57 Eldorado.Car also has factory women's make up kit.

That looks James Bond-ish! :icon17:

Autotronic Eye
 

So many strange things with old cars.Last one I will post.Auto headlight dimmer in 59.

A buddy of mine ran a hose off of his into the interior and filled the reservoir with Jack Daniels.:eek:67 Mustang i believe.:icon17:

Hey, 60 can "feel" kinda cold sometimes. Especially at night... when it's windy! :rofl2:

Want to know how to tell a Canadian walking on the beach in Florida? Look for the umbrella.

:facepalm:

Where I live 50 is t shirt weather.

:iagree:

Damn mod for locking my reps. :tiphat:

My reps are worth 3356. :tiphat:

You can test that out on me :hello:

I can still rep and your total will go up. But if you rep me or EW. Our totals won't go up.

so they finally caught on to your little scheme? :bowrofl:

The goal is to get everyone up there. :tup:

Someone loan me their Z, im having withdrawals

Join the F'in crowd. Hotrodz and I are miserable as hell.

You'd never catch me outdoors in temps like that!

:rofl2:

Hotrodz has been out of his Z for quite some time :eekdance:

I get mine back in hoppeeeefullyyyy a week.

How bad are your withdrawals ;)

I forgot JCHammond aka Joby...

Got a joke of a bonus for my performance last year. :shakes head:

That sucks.

A little bonus is better than no bonus.

Finishing up my TT build. It has been over a year on the build (13 months). Took the car to MA Motorsports in Febuary this year. The closer it gets to being finished the harder it is to deal with.

It's 1/8 of what I used to get. They could have just kept it honestly.

I think my Miata is fast!
