Anyone here remember the way young men took such good care of their cars?

 

Refurbished cars looked like brand new.

 

I once put my fingerprint on one of those shiny 'perfect' cars, and the owner wasn't very happy.  He had to buff it to clean perfection.  lol

 

Well, looking back, it is refreshing to recall how young men took good care of their cars, and their respect for their hard work-earned purchases.  Not much, if any, credit cards in those days.

 

Thank you for this thread !

Right, @shoekitty ,  often because of Steinbeck and "The Grapes of Wrath",   Route 66 and the great trek out of the Dustbowl are forever twinned in many minds.  Haunting to see the images. 

 

@ROMARY ,  you're welcome, I love all the lore.  Your story is fun -- taking fastidious care of one's car was definitely a "thing"!
