A&W Root Beer Drive-in

Thank heavens, you finally posted something that I don't remember because it was before my time.

Hallelujah!

PS: it kind of bums me out to recall Wards went out of business. Then I started remembering another couple of stores I used to like here in So. CA: Buffums and Bullocks.

:watereyes:

Well, it's not before my time. An older woman who helped take care of me (while my dad raised me) had one of these washers and I would use it sometimes to wash my clothes. This was in the mid 1960s in Detroit.

Feeling old, but I can work with that ;)

Homoe! You find great stuff!

My mom had a Mustang that looked just like this except it was a hardtop.

I learned to drive on that car. I think it was a 1967 Mustang and it was indeed red.

My parents had four sets of these to divide, section off the older part of the house from a recent addition where our everyday living space dining area and family room were. In the family room along with the television and usual furniture stuff there was an 8-track player meant to go in a vehicle that my dad had somehow rigged up to sit in the entertainment center and play in the house over the record player/radio speakers, a gaming system with one game – pong, a swag lamp, a lava lamp (our first one was red and cordless and candle power operated when it died we got an electric model blue one), a bean bag chair, a split leaf philodendron (which back then were considered/treated like rare and exotic tropical plants) in a terracotta pot, and an avocado seed/pit with toothpicks jammed in it/propped up in a mason canning jar full of water and left to root. People said our family room was so “mod”.
