1970's Appx 1978-ish.

I Had Breakfast with Fred last Tuesday and we had a great Chuckle about this. It was a simpler time and many Risks to Life were taken by all.

His Mom Bought the Car in Feb 1966 & he still has it Today.

I think most every household in the 50’s - 60’s had these.
I remember as a kid in the 50’s my Mom had a yellow one in the kitchen.

Like everything else from that era, it was built to last.
