A recent search had led me across some old Goodyear Tire ads.
I have seen these before as I'm sure most of you have but every time I see them I just have to laugh about how things/times have changed.

Growing up in an era were seat belts where just there and we never stayed sitting while taking road trips as there was way to much to see.

Try driving around like this today

Original owner photos of my SD455 Formula back in the Fall of 1973 when the owner Enrico Stein brought it to the BMW Octoberfest to rub their noses in it after the local BMW dealer refused to sell him a new BMW 2002 Tii for anything less than full sticker plus added profit. Enrico was 6'8" and his wife was similar height. The are both still around and a hoot to talk to. They sent me a photo of these photos that are still hanging on their wall in a collage.

Great story and image below is true snapshot of wheel "mud flap" aka "stone guards" used back in the day.

Excellent reminder of how we lived, and how true.
