Satina I have a box I picked up at a yard sale a while back...complete with the bargain hosiery offer on the back of the package! Does anyone use cooked starch anymore?

The final step up... ...the Lincoln Continental ad tag line from the 1970s and 1980s... And it's gonna be fun to see how this one turns out! Congrats, bro'! Charlie bongobro

Tide on YouTube Thought I saw that beach commercial on YouTube...in fact there was a link to it in the Discuss-O-Mat a while back. Don't know if you could find it, but it would be cool if you could find an Oxydol commercial with Marion Lorne ("Aunt Clara" on "Bewitched")...I seem to remember...

"I can see clearly now..." Actually, that was a hit for Johnny Nash in 1972...don't know who the band was that played behind him, but it was one of the first reggae-flavored tunes that caught on with the public...and it relaunched Nash's career for a couple of years...his follow-up, "Stir it...

And while we're on famous lines (as read by Johnny Olson It's A NEW CAR!!! (Cue loud rock music) It's a HORNET HATCHBACK! The sports car with room to travel, plus room for five...and it's backed by the EXCLUSIVE AMC BUYER PROTECTION PLAN!!! It's equipped with Levi's trim, automatic...

Todd Newton=Rikk Idol! Hey, alexb1186--you and I may remember Todd Newton as "Rikk Idol" on the old "Hot 97.1" FM about three or four formats ago (actually the early '90s)...I'm originally from Edmundson, MO but now live in Granite City, IL... And he's my man to replace Bob Barker! In fact...

Happy belated birthday! Robert--think I've seen that Bendix on someone else's birthday thread...hey, chestermikeuk, I've heard of "regifting" but... (LMAO!) (BTW, isn't that British Bendix similar to one of the last Philco-Bendix--or is it Philco-Ford?--Duomatics?) Big fives and a big hug...

Kitty Carlisle Hart That lady had more get-up-and-go at 95 than people half their age...and you never heard a whisper of scandal around her! Funny that most people remember her more for all those game shows than anything else, but there was so much more to her than the small screen ever showed...

Snowcrest White was also a color on the '58 Chevy Impala I don't remember shading on early color-toned appliances...that started back circa 1965... Weren't the original Frigidaire colors Petal Pink, Pastel Yellow, Turquoise Blue, Coppertone, Charcoal Gray (read black), and Snowcrest White...

tops down, prices up... Good luck finding a convertible under $15K...the popular models, the 'Stangs, Impalas, Malibus, etc., are going to be more popular, thus, more expensive. You might consider one of the less popular models (the Rambler Americans, Classics and Ambassadors, the Pontiac...

borderblasters Mexican radio stations in general cover a larger territory than their U. S. counterparts, and the Mexican government is more liberal (read casual) in allowing AM stations that operate at 100 or even 500 KW, compared to the maximum of 50KW the FCC allows here. Radio stations all...

"Philco-BENDIX" Duomatic Has to be from about mid-'57 at earliest since it shows the word "PHILCO" in their usual tiny block letters above the large, florid "BENDIX" signature; remember Philco bought the Bendix home laundry line from Avco Corporation in early 1957...there was a thread on it on...

May have been Philco? LaundryShark, I remember seeing ads in LIFE magazine circa 1966 with a full-page ads for the new Philco automatic washers (circa the time they began calling it Philco-Ford rather than Philco-Bendix): (wish I could scan the actual ad, but soon...) "What makes the new...

Philco? Looks like drmitch's fridge is a single-door Philco from the late 1950's. Don't know the model, but the cabinet looks like an early 50s Philco my grandmother once owned, but the door looks like an attempt to copy the Frigidaire "Sheer Look" of the late 50s and adapt it to the older...

musica Mexicana! Not surprising that a lot of American pop tunes get translated from Spanish to English. Remember the Latin influence of the late 1950s? Buddy Holly, if I recall, was originally from Texas, and there was a certain Latin undertone in his earliest hits. Ritchie Valens, too, added...

"Aren't you glad you bought a Hotpoint, Harriet?&qu Refer to the Hotpoint Automatic Washer Owner's Manual elsewhere on this website; until approximately 1955 the Hotpoint Company was listed as "an affiliate of the General Electric Company." The impression I had of Hotpoint for many years was...

"A little bit of soap..." tolivac, I don't remember that one, but all three of the washer lines purchased by auto manufacturers had offbeat washing methods: Frigidaire had its up-and-down pumping action. Kelvinator had that circular "deep turbulent" washing action (a/k/a "splashy")--and I...

oooh, the peek-a-boo look! I had forgotten that the TOL Frigidaire 1-18s had a glass window in the lid (hadn't seen Frigidaires with that feature since the pink and turquoise washers at an old "Helpee Selfee" coin laundromat near where I grew up)... ...or should my drift line be "Look for the...

"...and it makes a great milkshake!" I thought I was the only one who remembered that Frigidaire ad, bajaespuma...it was around 1969 or 1970, and the kid was making milkshakes, not just chocolate milk. It was while GM was still using the tag line "Frigidaire bothers to build in more help."...

And don't forget Fred Rutherford... petek, you can't forget Richard Deacon as Fred Rutherford on "Leave It to Beaver"! I do remember his cooking show, but it lasted only about a year... bongobro
