I remember when..............

Now......just.....wait.....a.........minute..............

Your first COLOR TV is what you mean, right??? If your first car was a 72, and gas was 43, you can't be THAT old.

Until I was in Jr. High, my Mother's parents did NOT have running water, and carried drinking water home in a big milk can. They didn't have a refrigerator, rather an ice box. Grampa used to continuously have a pan in the trunk of the car to bring home big ice blocks once or twice a week.

My parent's first refrigerator, a "Crosley Shelvador"

It got it's name because it was one of the first, maybe THE first to have "shelves in the door."

Ours was a little newer than this one, and did not have a built in radio. But the evaporator ("freezer") was the thing hanging down at top center. You could, as I remember, get about 1 qt of ice cream and a couple of ice cube trays in the thing and THAT was IT

We had that thing until somewhere around 58 when we got a larger one.


I said it right. The first T.V. I remember the family having was a black and white with a round screen. I was real young then and we were dirt poor so there were not to many extra's in our house. That would have been back in about 61 or 62 and I was born in 56. I can remember the odd thing from when I was younger than that, but that is the first thing I remember that would go in this thread.
