Gotcha beat Matt,
I remember a neighbor with a Hudson Hornet that had a back seat that folded into a bed and the small table attachment that connected that back to the rear of the front seat.

I remember a 1962 Vespa Car, two cylinder, two cycle, rear engine rear wheel drive with a fold down top and suicide doors.

How about Lambretta Motor Scooters or Wizzer Motor Bikes.
Here's one for the archives: How about Grit Newspapers that sold for .15 and were frequently advertised on the back of comic books. I remember oil in quart glass containers with metal pour spouts. How about clod hoppers, small leather boots that had the yellow reinforcing pull strap in the back.

Want to talk about some old home remedies? What was the common treatment for ear infections? How about a little urine in your ear? yep, no lie, and being the ever caring older brother, I always volunteered to donate to the cause for our middle brother (with free, non stop delivery) My parents didn't subscribe to that treatment but I was always willing to voice an early medical opinion.

I remember the old fashioned linament that everyone used on sore muscles. Note: NEVER, ever put linament in someone's jock strap unless you can out run them!
