1981 Baby but I have a huge love and appreciation for the decades before me… 1960’s & 1970’s had it going on all around but the best part to me is the beautiful cars and simple times

[@lisaowens5070]

Ahh, the good old days! Such refreshing common sense television. And with better wardrobes, too!

[@airfoilengine3799]

I was late for my first day of pm kindergarten because I wanted to see the showcase showdown. Always loved that show as a kid. Good Lord, I miss those days.

this happened 9 years before I was born and I get exited on every single game. This is cool...

[@jnadle1]

Wow, she won a trip to Brazil and a car in that episode! Almost $10,000 in prizes won, what a day!

[@tyrese3745]

Actually, Shannon only won over $9,500 worth of prizes, but she sure had the "luck of the Irish".

People seemed to act classier on this show back then, not jumping around and showing off like they do today.

$21,109 in todays dollars for a Buick sedan! Great price!!!

[@anitakinnear6735]

That’s about a 5 X price increase. Our salaries haven’t increased 5 X! In actuality, we are earning so much LESS now.

[@42luke93]

@@anitakinnear6735 Yeah you probably could get a cheap small corolla compact sedan now for that price if lucky.
