No seatbelts + Kids unsupervised in the camper

  1. Way before the nanny state...riding backwards in the station wagon trying not to get sick on the way to the Jersey Shore...with the back window partway down so we could smell the ocean (air conditioning was a luxury item).

    1. That partway-down rear window also let you breathe enough exhaust to semi-sedate your ass.

    2. Heh...no kidding. Dad opened the other windows first, you know, that 2-60 air con option, 2 windows down at 60mph.

  4. How did I make it into my 80's after breathing all that second-hand Camel cigarette smoke in the back seat of the '42 Pontiac?

  5. Even riding in back of a pickup for miles is a long gone memory

  6. My favorite riding spot. We took turns passing Dad a beer through the boot whenever he called back for one.

  7. They had to get that camper because Dad screwed himself out of a seat!

  8. I'm wondering if that high top was original, or an add-on. Never seen a truck camper like that.
