I looked him up

I do lol

I was 6 when this video was taken. I was probably riding around the neighborhood on my bigwheel

Does kind of make you wonder. This gentleman was maybe 45-50, so now he'd be in his 90's? Pretty sure he's probably passed by now...

nah, I just figure they're all dead,

Born in 75. Yes it was! \m/

'75 here too! Brother has it ever changed! I miss the simple, happy times.😔

The 50s and 60s were arguably the best times "unless you were black."

72 here. 80's was the best..

The world is much the same. Only difference we are exposed to a lot more now. Also the population has heavily increased.

If you think it's garbage, then it will be garbage.

it looked like a nuclear powerplant

Before those jobs were outsourced overseas

@@johnfoltz8183 Now China has all that pollution.

@@johnfoltz8183 You know who advocated for sending manufacturing overseas. Now he's acting like a hero against it.

​@@fidelcatsro6948 that's what he's saying

Officer anything else ?can I get a bite of your hot dog

Before Reagan and every president after him you mean lol

Back then crazy people were locked away in asylums. Now they are our representatives.

Bullshit .. kidnappings , serial killers, lots of ghettos , people disappeared without a trace and never got justice cause forensics was non existent..it wasn’t a fairytale

Reagan ushered in the end of the innocence.

@@FUBBA Reagan was the beginning of legalized organized crime.

Charlie's Angel's had what looked like regular house phones in the center consoles of their cars. Lol I remember either of the brown hair ladies pulling it out while investigating. I was so amazed! Lol (71 baby)

I grew up in the 90s. I got a cell phone until I was older

They were big as bricks at this time too

home made chicken biryani meal with papadoms...

🤣

Same here man, I live in the wheeling area so seeing what things were like before my time is quite bittersweet.

Well, we're all glad you thoroughly enjoyed it. If there's anything else we can do to make your day, do not hesitate to ask. You come on back now, you here?

I also focus mainly on the cars when watching this old videos

Good eye Mark .. that's a scary thought!

@@vampirerobot you are lying. That’s pretty cheap

Please bring that back God

About $140 in todays dollars; not a great deal.

@@M00n_G1rl Stop the video at 6:24 it says This sale $30.09 and under that 52 gallons. Where is the lie?

Wow thanks .. The average view duration on this channel is around 30 seconds. Glad to read comments like yours 😃

Actually, Radiophone technology was available all the way back in the late 1950s... Big Shot surgeons and lawyers, etc... Had it.

“Can you spread the blue cheese on there please??” “MMMK”

There was a video I saw about this mobile phone technology from the 1940s. I imagine this is somewhat what this guy had. But even then it would have been extremely rare. Car phones were barely starting to take off in the late '80s. It would be a very expensive phone call back in those days.

Yeah. I read your comments and enjoy them Lori. Thank you. Glad you liked the video 😀

@@vampirerobot hey you. Do videos of jack in the box restaurants, ihop, Taco Bell, taco johns, Hardee’s, Sams club, and my personal favorite gas stations(chevron, shell, conoco, Mobil, Exxon, Phillips 66, Texaco, etc.) Got it. Good

I remember the tornado went through Zanesville we had a restaurant in fire drill Ohio

My dad he work for brownie Greyhound bus company in Columbus we would go to church upper Delaware Ohio Ropewalk Eastside Westside

Barnesville Ohio

Did you "Enjoy our LIVER AND ONION DINNER"?

@@johnfitzgerald2339 omg lol yes! Do you remember Stone and Thomas.

Lol... that's too funny Rachel. Great eye btw. Somebody finally noticed Three Mile Island!

And that’s where the cars are all metal and not plastic you see today there kid.

Seat belts were required on vehicle starting in 1963 but most people didn't use them

@@richthepontiacguys1412 Yeah in the 70s I don't ever remember my mom making us wear them. By the eighties though we had to.

Wow. lol

You actually think everything was distorted? Lol

@@dougfisher1813 Not like that, just I couldn't wrap my head around it.

I get what you mean it's like when you imagine life in the 1800s all you can see is black n white cause that's all we have

I was born in '71 and clearly remember everything since '79, you are currently living in the worst times I have experienced.

they were wireless phones that still needed an operator to make calls for them

​@@fidelcatsro6948 True but he must have had some money because not many people used them. They were not cheap.

Was that satellite? Or just early cellular? Or am I asking the wrong question?

@@C.Church Probably an earlier cellular. But could only be used while the car was running.

Frank Cannon had one on the TV show. I think they were VHF and operated over radio.

That is a very good movie Daniel.

@@vampirerobot yes indeed. .

I loved that Movie.

He was on a VHF phone repeater. It's a phone patch using radio to landline. HAM was the way to go before cellular was introduced years later. Needed a operator license to use a phone patch.

@@ratcatcher4804 I guess that explains why he's giving his call sign.

Bell allowed that?

Phone call with ten cents a loaf of bread was 5 sent s

@@R Marca Yeah... Those Mobile Radio calls were expensive back then... I don't remember exactly how much each one initially cost, maybe $8.00, and then you were charged per minute afterwards. My parents had a good friend that was sort of a playboy back in the Seventies... Everything he owned MATCHED. My "uncle" Denny... He had a '75 Mark IV, a '76 Eldorado convertible, a '77 or '78 Harley Super Glide, a boat... You name it. And they were all silver with maroon interiors. All of the cars and his motorhome had a radio phone in them... And he'd always really impress us kids when he'd call our mom and dad to tell them we were on our way home from getting ice cream or after he'd be stealing something 🤣 He'd "borrow" us kids and take us with him to certain places, to use as decoys... For instance, his name was Denny... And he was going to throw a big holiday party one year. So he took us kids to the local Denny's and asked the waitresses to please keep an eye on us while he "checked the 'Welcome to Denny's' sign out front.... He was a "Service Technician"😉 Well, no one noticed him TAKING the sign. He tossed it in his silver van and came in and grabbed us... Thanked the waitresses for watching us, tipped them each ten bucks apiece... And off we went... He called out folks from the Radio Phone on the way... His holiday party was a bit and NOBODY missed his house because of the flashing 'Welcome to Denny's' sign out front.😂 Yeah... He was KLASSY.

He is looks about 50 here....That would put him at about 95 today.

@@matrox and smoking probably already signed up for a dirt nap

He’s dead buddy

@@matrox More like mid forties.

he should about 100yrs old today, still alive as smoker unless it was some other type than a cuban cigar

The Bee Gees should be dancing

@@samuelcantley5500 Hope that was sarcasm....

Expensive to run on gas. They don't get great milage, but the old ones are very nice inside.

these contraptions mustve drank gasoline like fast tap water flowing !

@@lesleylesley5821 hiya Lesley- Well... it's going to get really expensive to run it now. But it actually gets about 10mpg if you keep your foot out of it... Going a steady 60 mph. With a tailwind, it'll get a good 12 mpg on flat ground. If I had my way, I'd put a Gear Vendors overdrive and a two speed axle in it. I'd bet it'd get close to 16-20 mpg. The ten mpg doesn't sound like much, but one has to remember that the thing weighs about 16,000 pounds... Plus we don't have to spend money on hotels or restaurants for about two weeks at a time... It's fully self contained. I guess that with both tanks full, it'll go about 500 miles. We usually take it to Florida once a year, and up to Michigan once a year. Otherwise, we take it around Ohio where we live and just stay weekends in it. They're convenient and a lot of fun if they're properly maintained. Cheers!

@@fidelcatsro6948 they're not horrible, considering everything you'd need for a week or two is right there with you. Our old Dodge Landau motorhome gets an honest 10 mpg on the highway at 60 mph. It's paid for itself over the fifteen years we've owned it. Cheers!

Hahahaha😆

I thought he was going to say "good" after that pause.

9:20

Gas was pretty expensive back then too...That is $2.68 per gallon there,converted to todays money..

@@01trsmar I have a problem with those conversions

Does your motorhome have the 455 Oldsmobile engine?

Smoking was not considered criminal, Driving whilst using radio communication device was perfectly legal, gasoline was cheaper than cat food, traffic was lighter back then..

Super cool... from Fairborn as well... born in Xenia but lived in Fairborn... moved to Maryland with my dad but my mom lived there her whole life!

You think? They seemed more durable back then.

Not even close to true

I bet your daddy got those for him to watch but only has a Roku on the tv and no dvd player at all so you kid gonna get a Xbox to watch that movie with your daddy. Hmmmm
