Yeah, you mention cars, & off I go on a tangent..Sorry...Y'know, it musta REALLY been something to have been, say, 25-35 yrs old after the end of the War & to have seen all this stuff-TVs, Hi-Fis, all the incredible development in cars-come about. Those people had known nothing but 1st, deprevation & then war all their lives. The boom times of the twenties were so much ancient history to them-just like the '60s & '70s are to the kids today.Imagine what the typical young guy who was technologically "aware"-kinda like WE are about things- thought when he first saw a TV in the furniture store on the corner...-Sandy G.
