words and sayings now are too often classless, like the cars.
Never heard that one used. The rest I had on my own cars like the fender skirts, suicide knob. I still remember the oil bath air cleaners also. Seemed like we spent all our free time working on most of them. At least then they were easy to work on and you could get at everything pretty easy. Now its a guessing game as to where that item is.
We have and old Electroluxe vac cleaner here just like the one pictured. Not sure if it was my parents and Janes but they both had them and they still run. I remember my mother bought a plastic bag like thing that went on the end of the vac hose and she would use it as a hair dryer off the discharge side of the vacuum. Our milk was delivered daily or every other day in glass bottles. I can still here the milk man carrying them around the neighborhood. A lot of people still had Ice Boxes. Today refrigerators but then they were wooden and ice went in them. My grandmother still had hers. Her washer was a glass scrub board, I still have it also. She liked the old ways and was not going to change with out a fight.
I do remember the sound of the perculator and the coffee in the glass top as it bubbled. I always like the smell of it in the AM, still do.
We had linoleum on most of our floors. Seemed like tarpaper material with some kind of painted substance on it. I know it didn't last all that long and ripped easy if you caught the edge of it. We did get a run in the living room, wall to wall then was 9x12 feet.
Good memories from back then. Always busy from sun up to dark and then some. Bike cycle was your transportation if you safe enough money for one, or garbage pick the holding pens for one in the housing projects. Most of mine came from there.
