Amazing, how in a half a century, the prices and incomes have changed. And yet, we made it work. My question is, where does it end?
Fifty years from now, our prices and incomes right now will be as weird to look at as those for us of 1972. Yup, where does it end?

The Chevy Chevelle and Ford Torino for '72 were two HOT CARS! LOL, wasn't that grille on the Torino was reminiscent of Chrysler's '57 300. It's goreous!

@frank, congratulations! And didn't it go by fast in hindsight? When I graduated in 1970, I can assure you 50 years later wasn't even close to being anywhere on my radar. The human mind just doesn't allow one to envision that far ahead. And then, BAM! it happens!

as always great reading thanks George, wonder if any of those Pierre Cardin Javelins are still around.

Ford designers for ‘72..
”Let’s go for a really cool looking Torino before we gotta design those truck bumpers into them in ‘73!”
