Whew! Thanks, pudly buddy!

Just reach over and hit the "Wonder Bar" button....

OK.....you just gave away your age with that one.
1959 Oldsmobile land yacht. Every option available including the "Wonder Bar" radio.
Hand or foot operated if memory serves.

I had a 1960 Olds 98 with the Wonder Bar. It also had a switch on the floor right next to the dimmer switch (remember dimmer switches on the floor?). I used to mess with people by pointing my finger at the radio and "magically" changing the channel (they weren't watching my left foot). It was fun to watch them waving their hands in front of it trying to get it to change channels again.

And I had the FM converter in the glove box too. Radio had tubes so it wouldn't start playing until you'd been driving for a few minutes to let the tubes warm up.

Yes I do know of the dimmer switch.
That big Olds of mine was scary fast on the HiWay.

394 Rocket engine? I loved that old car. When you'd close a door it sounded like closing a bank vault. And like you said, it had all the options... power seats, power windows, power steering, power antenna. I sure do miss it...

I pulled the engine from the Olds and it went into the 53 Chevy we put a straight axle under from a 49 Chevy panel truck. Moved the seat back and mounted the steering up through the floor using the drag link style steering. We had family with a "Real" junk yard out by the farm Great resource for cool stuff.
Car was scary stupid dangerous but it was a hoot to drive. As long as you kept it going in a straight line.

Damn, someone needs to get banned to get this thread on track. I know at your ages, the mind tends to wander, but this isn't memory lane.

And get a hair cut!!

And pull your pants up!

 

[hoosierdaddy1976]

Young whippersnapper! Show your elders some respect!

To be honest, I've had cars with wing vents, AM radio only, floor dimmer switch, and a single turn signal indicator, not dual arrow lights

Get off my lawn.

Was taught to use the sidewalk, even on Halloween. Doing the same with my kids

And turn that music down!

Even if it's Freedom Rock? Besides, I need to drown out the tinnitus

And get a hair cut!!

Within the next couple weeks, before work starts. The top has fallen woefully short in keeping up with the sides, and I'm getting my Bozo look

And pull your pants up!

At least it's fat plumber style, not thugged out

Oh, and Old Men River, zip it or I'll break your hips!

WTF???????????

Dungarees used to be bell-bottoms. They doubled as flotation devices if you found yourself in the water with no life jacket. Take them off, tie knots in the ends of the legs, pull them over your head from behind so they catch air, hold the waist under the water so the legs floated, and there you go.

I don't know if they still are.
