Do any of you recall when your car/truck doors QUIT rattling for 15 minutes after you shut the doors and just sounded like THUNK? Do you remember when even a heater (1965 Ford 6 cyl, 3 on the tree, Red and White half ton for one) was an added accessory with today's all inclusive amenities standard equipment? Do you remember when the CEO of GM said that we'll build what we want and the (American) motoring public will just have to buy it as they have no choice? Clue, it was revealed in that article that his annual salary and perks were (only) $400k for a time line.
Fanfare da da..........incomes Toyota and Datsun......and now folks, lookie what's available at your GM dealer (and other big 3) today.
I really like old cars and especially the Chevrolet in the 1955-57 time line, and especially the hard tops with no posts on the doors and their gorgeous colors (turquoise and white favorite) with matching interiors including seat covers, and the 265 V8 with glass packs and 3 on the tree in 2nd gear winding out........goose bumps....... But when you shut the doors, all that gorgeous "stuff" just falls out on the ground. I had a '71 Chev. fake woodie that I even took the door trim off the inside and stuffed blocks of foam against the window mechanisms to stop the things from rattling.
How long did it take to get compact tractors with hydrostat trannys and steering and all the current goodies.......Sometimes you just have to have a little diversity to get things going.
