Those vents on my Dodge Dart were just the right size for chilling a beer when it was cool outside. They had small doors you could open to stuff a beer in and then close.

We used discarded rocket launchers to hold a bunch of beer or soda cans.

I've had to resort to Wendy's salads on recent road trips for diabetes reasons. IIRC, there is one over by the interstate near the old airport (where my old man did his first solo flight as a teen), if you want to change the office Micky D's topic next time it comes up.....

By default, Torpedo Tube #6, hold Cigarettes and beers.

And you guess it, during a Nato exercise, the Combat Officer accidentally fire #6 instead of #5. Was not very popular for the rest of the outing.

John Wayne and other movie stars can be seen wearing waisters in old movies.
Likely custom made to fit so the star appeared to have long/er legs.

My first thought was turbulence. Not the best place for a child when that happens. Although I doubt anyone in that pic is wearing a seatbelt.

I recently attended a dueling pianos event. The only tunes and songs I recognized were by bands who had been on the Ed Sullivan show.

Having a car changed everything. I could go hang out with high school friends instead of the neighborhood kids. Sort of killed off street hockey and backyard football games.
