And to think, I remember paying 25 cents for Saturday matinee and I believe gas was about 20 cents a gallon in 1968. I was 11, so I don't remember what the costs for most other things were then.

I bet if you would have asked if they have an app for that back then, they would probably hung up on you.

The 'Vette is a Photoshop job, but you can guarantee it'll happen soon enough

I hope it happens. I want one.

I remember getting 25 cents to go to the Saturday morning movies. 12 cents to get in and 13 cents for popcorn, coke and tax. This was in mid 50's. In HS gas was 19 cents a gallon and cigarettes were about 20 cents a pack. And, in HS days, the speed limit outside of city limits was posted as "Reasonable and Proper". The police would decide if you were going too fast.

I remember signs in Nevada outside Las Vegas just saying "End of Speed Limit" in the early 70's.

The median income in 1955 was $5k per year.

And in what state did you see speed limit signs like that?

In the 90s, there were speed limit signs in Montana that said "reasonable and prudent". Don't know if they are still there.

I remember my mom griping, early 60s I think, when premium gas went from 0.15 to 0.17/gallon. I recall gas wars where regular was 0.25/gallon in 1969.

That looks like a SCI-FI movie from the 50s. SO COOL!

In my squadron, when on security, we had to keep our bullets in our pants pocket like Barney Fife did. I figured that I could call 'time out' if a threat approached.

Never heard of such a thing.
We went with our M16s with a loaded 30 round mag and 3 more in reserve on our belt
We did not carry one in the chamber

Cheapest I ever remember paying for gas was 13.9cents/gal at the first self service in Irving. Walking to the corner grocery store and getting a Dr Pepper (10-12 oz btl) and a large Baby Ruth for a quarter. Milk was $1/gal.

As far as when I was driving, I do remember filling up and getting change back for a $5 bill.
