Mr. Diamond laments the end of those side vent windows in cars.

I still have a stereo system like that!

My Dad wore a suit when he took us to baseball games at Cleveland Municipal Stadium to see the Indians play.

Didn’t everyone put tin foil on their rabbit ears?

The last car I had that had those was a '70's VW, a Type III squareback. My buddy has several antique vehicles and they all have them.

would hold their cigs so as to let the smoke escape the vehicle out the side vent window.

But if you were a kid passenger you still got a snoot full.

That was one problem with Tupperware is it was too good. When I moved to Germany I gave away a 30 year old pitcher and Cake taker.
