Remember cars from the 1960s
Memory From:
Jason , United States, My memory of my 1960s cars
I was remembering my car driving in the 60's
Nobody locked car doors ( we didn't have central locking or fobs )
Most windows used handcranks to open and close
Heaters were an option
Radios were an option ( and only AM ) with crappy little speaker
My age group bought retread tyres as they were cheaper
The windshield wipers were vacuum driven so faster you went faster wipers went
and no windscreen washers ( plus wipers were realy small )
The dimmerswitch was on the floor you pushed with your foot
If the battery went flat find a hill and drop the clutch to start the car
How things have changed

Was unsure where to put this memory so placed it here, In most of the old cars I owned in the 60's my cars had a button on the floor that I pressed with my foot to change the Lights from Full Beam to Low Beam and I miss it, Of all the changes to the car I drive today that is the one I would like back.
I agree. There's too much to do with your hands already. The dimmer on the floor was a great idea, and I wish they'd go back to it. I think you could hit it quicker too.
You make these cars sound bad!!! -looks at amazing 60's car-
