I remember when oil came in paper cans with metal tops and bottoms. I remember the oil spout you had to stab in the oil can to open and pour.
When you could buy leaded gas and they sold the plastic insert to put leaded gas in an unleaded car.

When we had no remote control for the TV, when you had to switch from UHF to VHF on the dial of a TV, party phone lines, when he had BW TV’s and when VCR first came out.

What are some of the things you remember?

Check out the " You Know You're Getting Older' thread for some real memory joggers..But to add something I remember when the ONLY businesses open 24/7 were Dennys and Truck Stops of America

Ah yes, and those little jars of jam/jelly they sold. I had about 100 empty ones after a trip from Michigan to Oregon back in the early 70's. Dad would stop and I would beg 50 cents to get one of those to eat in the car between Stuckey stops.
