Oh the good old days!

My dad (80) was harassing for me buying such an expensive ride. So I put together a little comparison for him - comparing the family's 1980's Custom Cruiser to my 2016 Suburban.

It will be interesting to see what changes in the next 30-40 years...

Looks about the same...

Ha! The Jetsons... I named my Roomba "Rosie" after the Jetson's robot maid.

Don't worry, Elon Musk is trying to catch us up to speed.

Heh, we had several GM Full-sized wagons while I was growing up. My Dad never hesitates to call-out the modern SUVs as 'station wagons'. Any time someone talks about their awesome SUV, he always low-key says. "yeah, that's a real nice station wagon."

But you can’t sit in the rear facing backwards in a suburban.

Or face each other like the old Ford SWs. But as kids we seemed to get queasy riding in those seats.

You may have. I didn’t.

 

[ktpinnacle]

I sure as heck did. And to this day there are certain coasters I swear off of because of that damned trait.

We had the 1971 (?) Pontiac station wagon with the window glass that recessed into the roof. Such tech!

And to his comment, I’d reply that his station wagon can’t pull 5,000lbs of speed boat up a mountain! Lol.

My dad's 440ci Dodge wagon would. He had 8" wide steel wheels made for it and regularly towed the boat with it. Old glasstron with a crosslet powered bearcat outboard.

We had the same one! I just remember loving to sit up front in the beach between my parents. My dad would let me steer from there sometimes, lol.

Didn’t the third row seats fold out from the floor? I also remember the AC was ice cold.
