In 1970 the USA was much more rural centric, though much, much less than the 1910's.

If you got cancer or had a heart attack outcomes were a lot worse than today. Way less obesity than we have today. Grandparents being 65 was a milestone, and they were very old. Opportunities for travel generally involved car travel for most travel. Many parts of the interstate highway system were still not complete. Minorities had more limited opportunities. Houses were affordable.

I love the cars from the 1960's and early 1970's. Everything about them, the marketing and the dealer items, was so much fun to see. You knew then the new car body styles came out, and styling was apparent even year to year. Ads were not on line like today, so you got tangible things to take home.

It was such an interesting time to be a kid in, because you were somewhat insulated from the bad. Public schools had Drivers Training classes.

We had Peter Max folders to put our papers in that we went to school with,


Exactly. Good old days weren't always as good as our memories make them out to be.

However, we all have the luxury of hindsight. Kids today don't. They make the world work as they see it, and I guarantee that doesn't align with our view in most cases. I'm also willing to bet our Great Grandparents said the same thing about our Grandparents during thier time on earth.

Lets see:
Civil unrest. Check.
Violence in the neighbourhood. Check.
A major pandemic. Check.
Wars or rummer of wars. Check.
Kids out of control. Check.
Parents that don't understand. Check.
Fast cars. Check.
Criminal activity. Check.
Sensationalizing news stories. Check.
New and exciting things. Check.
Kids are bored. Check.
Some things are a lot better then they were. Check.
Some things are worse then they were. Check
Things will never be the same. Check.

So, tell me again, what has changed? Every generation faces new and different challenges with new and different ideas then the generation before it. Its been this way as far back as my 63 year old mind can remember.
The Rapid Transit System was pretty cool in the late 60s and early 70s, but probably wouldn't be nearly as cool today. Gene

1970 Dealership Plymouth Makes it Items

The Parker Window Jotter Pen is very cool. 4 different messages rotate when you click the top: Plymouth, Makes, It, 1970. They cost the dealer about $ 2.25 each, where the regular economy pens cost the dealer about $ .08 each.

The key ring I have seen in a dealer order catalog.

Coffee cups, you have to like those. And the egg timer, well...

The leatherette cup is the only thing that I am putting up here that I got from Steven's collection. Everything that I have collected would be just a zit in the corner of Steven's collection. I did buy some things from his sale though. He had everything, and one of the nice things he did was at one time he had pictures on-line so you could check if what you were looking at was real.

Here Is a 1970 RTS calendar that I bought from the late Walter Miller in 2007 for $100 +$1 shipping.
