My father owned a Dodge and Plymouth dealership from around 1934 to 1969, and each summer Chrysler Corporation would debut the new vehicles for the coming year. We were in the Dallas Region so we would drive about 4 hours to Dallas to see the new vehicles. Chrysler would make a big production of it and would have off Broadway type groups perform a theme type show between the presentation of all the new vehicles. It was really great entertainment with a lot of skits, singing, dancing, and lots of beautiful ladies. In 1964 I was 17 when we went to the new car showing. I am almost certain they played this short movie before they introduced the new 1965 Dodge trucks. Back then trucks would go years with one body style that never changed from year to year. One year we had a truck that didn’t sell before the next years truck came out. There were no changes from year to year, and the truck had close to 0 miles on it, so Daddy sent the title back to Dodge and they issued a new title showing the truck was the next year’s model. They only did that on trucks, and it was rare, but the government stopped that practice a couple of years later. I also remember when Daddy received the first truck that cost $2000.00. He didn’t think any farmer would ever pay that much for a truck. Times have changed.

In SF,CA in the 60's every year they had a Truck Show. Every brand and all the semi's. In those days you could climb in and check everything out. I was 10 and my father took me every year, after all he was a Trucker. Good Times!

[@TheFoolintherainn]

You're hanging out with the wrong crowd darlin'. She certainly isn't out here on this little idiot box twerking or whatever they do. If you put up a legitimate personal ad saying you want a natural beautiful woman to treat like a lady and respect as a woman, and you follow the "Mike Pence rule" which has been around long before Mike pence was VP? Then you'll find her. But please remember, you can't have your cake and eat it too. if you want a lady, then you are to be a gentleman at all times - all eyes on her. Forever. And please don't be fooled.. when you take a closer look at the Andy Griffith show? those women worked, contributed to the homes financially.. they were respected. They were the pharmacist, teachers, and if you take a very close look - who was the worst gossip on that show? Wasn't clara.. it was Floyd! The barbershop was a hen house. You didn't put your hands on a woman - you weren't allowed to abandon your family.. if you did, you'd better go clear to the other side of the country - and the men in town knew that... Didn't dare. I worked in South America - there was a man who was sitting on a street corner sort of beat up - and I had asked about him.. it was explained that he was driven out of his village. The men exiled him. - he had been bothering young women and girls, drunk, hitting his wife.. so the men took him out behind the barn end took care of it. if you want a lady to stay a lady - then gentleman need to be men, in action. Women have been forced to become more aggressive because of the amount of responsibility put on them - they're now expected by courts, to bring home the bacon, cook it, and clean up the pan they bought. one of the things I admire most in martial arts is the strength of the men throwing that punch so hard and so fast, and being able to stop on a hair on your nose.. now that's a sexy man that can let a lady be a lady. Knows when to use it, and knows when to put it away. Strength with control Just like a lady!

Yeah why don't we look things up and consider the source the source on a juicy story like this, or non-story, will most likely somebody who's trying to make money, get you to buy a book, magazine or click. apparently there were rumors of affairs on the side of marriages with both Andy and Don - we don't know, so let's not go there. This is the world wide web. You just permanently potentially slandered someone without facts what we do know, information that came directly from his mouth is that Don knotts came from a very difficult childhood, father was an alcoholic, domestic abuse - he was under the care of a psychiatrist for many years and suffered from depression. we didn't learn this because he committed a crime and went to court and use this as an excuse to get off. According to his daughter maybe? Some family member in an interview who is present at the deathbed reported... as he was passing away, he was still joking to the point where people had to leave the room cuz they didn't want to laugh at a deathbed scene. But in this case.. they probably should have stayed cuz that's what a comedian looks for. see if you can find interviews of credible people talking into a camera where it's not cut and edited... Don't get anything second or third hand - those people are in business to sell you something. There should be plenty of interviews of Don knotts speaking for himself all over youtube.. just click and learn, before you burn someone please I'm just reminding you of something you already know. Have a nice day!
