Sometimes I wish I go travel back in time before I was born to a simpler time when most things were black and white and frankly most people knew between right and wrong. I'm only 35 but these days it seems everything is upside down and what used to be right is now considered wrong and what we used to consider wrong is now defended vehemently as right. That photo definitely hearkens to better times. Sigh.

Most of the cars in the picture can be identified because most years were different from each other then; they have an amazing ability to all look the same nowadays. I was not in the area in 1968, I was 7,953 miles to the left of the Sahara.

I can see from here that the tires are out dated

Nice picture. But I think that if technology had stayed the way it was back then, many people of today would still be turdbaskets.

I remember in the late 70's of a 4106 shell for sale by, I think ABC bus, at an FMCA convention at maybe Richmond VA. It was $48,500. Made me drool, but that amount might as well been a million bucks to me.

If this is going to be a nostalgia thread, I can tell everyone that I picked my 1982 RTS because it had no computer and that is the way I like it.  I would never buy a newer bus, period.  I listen to oldies on my Sirius XM and other than the necessary smartphone and computer, I live in the past.  I guess the new age technology allows me to create and live my own reality.

Most of those cars we could buy new for under 5,000.00 and some like that 64-1/2 Mustang was 2,900.00 as I remember now they all are around 50K to 150K after redoing them.

Every time is just as harrowing as another, the difference is our age, experience and tolerance to change.

The social upheaval of the 60's was great entertainment to us young folk, the older folks were wondering about the end days being upon us, Soviet induced nuclear war, Viet Nam, suicide is painless, etc etc. "Would you get a damned haircut???"

Fast forward, and now its our turn, as the old fuddy duddies we have turned into, to be turned on our ears by fake news, wild politics, more nuclear war, shootings and other negative expressions of tortured people, Opiods have replaced acid and friends as the overdose of choice.

Notice your kids and grandkids aren't worried about anything, just like we weren't.

Crack a smile, and put your faith where it belongs, it'll all be ok, they'll figure it out.

happy coaching!

Dave where do you see a 64 1/2 Mustang?
The white one is clearly a '67 if you notice the panel the brake/taillights are mounted on is con-caved (dipped in) and not flat as the 64 1/2, 65 & 66 model years were. (having owned over 20 Mustangs over the years I notice those little details)
