Bob:
Is there anyone out there who can give me advise on a nice "sano" trainer
hitch for a '56 Nomad? I need a 2" receiver for bike racks and a small
Mullins trailer, but would love it if the receiver were a quick detach. I
hate the way they look hanging down from the bumper when I'm not towing.
Thanks for any advise out there on a ready-made hitch or on making my own.

Hi Bob, Your lists are great, there is some great stuff on them.

Can you post some items that I am looking for to help
finish my 4-dr wagon? I am looking for some decent rear doors,
both
sides, and also the rear curved glass on both sides. Tinted would be nice,
but I'll take clear for now. Also, if anyone has any wagon parts cars they
want to get rid of, I'd be interested.

Thanks

Hi Bob,
I'd like to thank you for the wonderful job you do with this list.
Really
enjoy it and value the information you provide. I thought list members
might get a kick out of this quiz. I am a founding member of Tri-Five of
Western New York which is celebrating our 25th. anniversary this year.
Hardly seems possible we have been together this long and I've enjoyed
every minute of it. Some of the nicest people I have ever met in my life
are part of this car club community. Spring is here....lets get those
classics rolling again!
Best Regards,
Wayne K. Carrig -

ANSWERS:

1. "Kookie; Kookie; lend me your comb."

2. The "battle cry" of the hippies in the sixties was "Turn on; tune in;
drop out." Many people who proclaimed that 30 years ago today
are Wall
Street bond traders and corporate lawyers.

3. The Lone Ranger left behind a silver bullet.

twice,
it's all right."

5. The group of protesters arrested at the Democratic convention in
Chicago in 1968 were known as the Chicago Seven. As Paul Harvey says,
"They would like me to mention their names."

6. When the Beatles first came to the U.S. in early 1964, we all watched
them on the Ed Sullivan Show.

7. Some of us who protested the Vietnam war did so by burning our
draft
cards. If you said "bras," you've got the right spirit, but
nobody ever
burned a bra while I was watching. The "bra burning" days came
as a
by product of women's liberation movement which had nothing
directly to do with the Viet Nam war.

8. Dick and Jane's dog was Spot. "See Spot run." Whatever happened to

them? Rumor has it they have been replaced in some school systems
by
"Heather Has Two Mommies."

9. It was the VW Beetle, or more affectionately, the Bug.

10. A Broadway musical and movie gave us the gang names the Sharks and
the Jets. West Side Story.

11. In the early sixties, the dropout, nonconformists were known as
beatniks. Maynard G. Krebs was the classic beatnik, except that he had
no
rhythm, man; a beard, but no beat.

12. At the end of "The Life of Riley," Chester would turn to the camera
and exclaim, "what a revolting development this is."

13. "Get your kicks on Route 66."

14. "The story you are about to see is true. The names have been changed
to protect the innocent."

15. The real James Bond, Sean Connery, mixed his martinis a special way:
shaken, not stirred.

16. "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight."

17. That "adult" book by Henry Miller was called Tropic of Cancer. Today,
it would hardly rate a PG-13 rating.

18. Slide rule

19. "The day the music died" was a reference & tribute to Buddy Holly.

20. The matching slogan was "Let Hertz put you in the driver's seat."

21. After the twist, the mashed potatoes, and the watusi, we "danced"
under
a stick in a dance called the Limbo.

22. "N-E-S-T-L-E-S; Nestles makes the very best...........chooo-c'late."
In the television commercial, "chocolate" was sung by a puppet - a
dog.
(Remember his mouth flopping open and shut?)

23. In the late sixties, the "full figure" style gave way to the "trim"
look, as first exemplified by British model Twiggy. (Could we go back
to
full-figured look again, please? I seem to be perpetually out of
style...when I had the twiggy figure, full figure was still in style.
Now, of course, I am sporting that "Ruben-esque" look!)

24. Our parents shared this great jazz trumpet player with us. His name
was Louis Armstrong.

25. Joe's regular visitor at the bar was Crazy Googenhiem.

26. The Russians put the 1st satellite into orbit; it was called Sputnik.

27. What takes a licking and keeps on ticking? A Timex watch.

28. The large plastic ring that we twirled around our waist was called the
hula-hoop.

29. The "Age of Aquarius" was brought into the mainstream in the Broadway
musical "Hair."

30. Red Skelton's hobo character was Freddie the Freeloader. (Clem
Kaddiddlehopper was the "hay seed.") Red ended his television show
saying,
"Good night, and may God bless."

......and may God Bless each of you baby boomers and beyond...........
......Remember age is only a state of mind!

Editors' note. Joke from my generation. Tonto was asked what KEMOSABIE was
in English. Answer "get rid of that stupid mask"
