NOW WHAT WE HAVE HERE:
Are a number of bad ideas! The child to the left is shown with a seatbelt on, so that is a good thing...scroll down slowly...
A great way to dispose of used motor oil......NOT! This was from a 1963 issue of Popular Mechanics. Fortunately we have developed better methods of getting rid of waste oil, like pouring it down the drain. DO NOT DO THIS, ONLY KIDDING!. Remember when they used to spray oil and kerosene along the road right of way? Wonder how much we all ingested when we were young. Like biking behind the mosquito spraying truck. Keep scrolling....
A youthful human cannonball. No seatbelt here. He looks quite relaxed, perhaps he passed out from shock.
I find this very interesting. Does anyone ever remember ants in the wheels ever being a problem?
I don't need to say anything about this. A SAFE carbed...of course it is.
COUGH COUGH! Some people prefer the aroma of fine leather.....My personal favorite on this page, your old exhaust cleaner vacuum for your car. Note the nice lady in heels, happily cleaning the interior of her car, just before she passed out from exhaust fumes in the garage....COUGH COUGH!
What everyone who owned a 1950's Mercury should have had. No other car was as fun with the flamethrowers.......and only $2 also. michael Fain where are your flamethrowers for BIG M?
Now after reading the fine print carefully, I believe these are fake, like bicycle handlebars with the saran strands.
Have some fun retro things to share? Send them to us and we will put them on this page...
