Yet few dealers stage these events.

I know if I owned a dealership I would have AT LEAST one event per year!
I believe you're absolutely right. I think they are poor marketers for the most part. I think so many are owned by the children or grandchildren now of the original owners, and have no business sense. If they did, they'd run their businesses very differently. They'd realize word of mouth was so important, and not just look for that sale, then treat the customer like crap afterward. So many little things they can do differently that would create good word of mouth advertisement. And Service Departments, horrible! I believe they are satisfied with their revenue from one time sales and recall work, and don't ever realize the potential revenue never realized.

bigdad, do you know what the "class is in" pic is from? So cool seeing a bunch of kids glued to car stuff. I wonder if you could find a group of kids nowadays interested in anything other than video games frown

Great old pics on this thread!

Now, more than ever, I realize THOSE WERE THE DAYS!

Right now, I don't know if this country will ever get back to good times.

If we see only things like the RTS cars, it is great.

At the same time we had rivers on fire, air in urban areas was awful, there were large protests throughout the country, there were huge divisions throughout the country concerning Vietnam.

1968 had the moon orbit, but it was a disaster of a year for so many people and the world.

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,

I do have a tendency to live in the past, but I'm not a "downer." However, with this current crisis going & the toxic political environment of the past 10+ years, I'm getting tired of all the division & attacks politically. People are becoming more & more divided every day - much of the happiness in society has diminished vs. 20 years ago. If I had a time machine, I'd go back to the summer of '76. Man, was that a great year for me. My first car, GF, etc. It was magic. Here's a pic to prove it.
