Back in the 1970's when my brothers and I were growing up we needed a big car like that man has. I had 8 brothers but only 4 were at home at the time, so there were 4 brothers and myself in the back seat. A lot of the time one of us would lay on the rear deck behind the back seat. LOL We never had seat belts either. Those were the good old days! Windows down because of no air conditioning and my brothers and I singing our hearts out!

Very nice. Yep, some of those old 70's cars were quite large. One reason they were often referred to as boats. I think that and the way they rode. I know, I had a 1973 Chrysler NewPort. Very 1st car for this 5' little gal 😂.

Seeing those John Deere tractors made memories come back. Dad worked at John Deere in Waterloo, Iowa from the late 1930's to 1947. He not only built tractors but when WW2 started they switched from tractors to war machines. He never told us what they built during that time. Your adventure was so very interesting. You truely never know what you're going to find when you're invited to come see what someone has.

Alex, we still use the $1 coins here in the States!... Especially in the Big Cities! 🏢🏢 We usually use them for the train ticket vending machines. For instance, you will put in a $5, and the machine will give you a ticket, 2 x $1 coins and a quarter! Next time you need to buy a ticket, you can use those 2 x $1 coins + 3 quarters = $2.75 per ticket... It makes commute much faster than using bills all of the time!! The $1 coins are still coming out with many different beautiful scenic depictions! 🤔 😊

I don't have any when she passed away her sister sold everything but i couldn't afford to give the money she wanted we had to move. She was left the home to her and 3 sisters she split it and we couldn't pay what she wanted so we were kicked out i was 27 but was brought to that beautiful 3 story building in Chicago and lived there all my life. I was so sad to have to leave.

The sketch art of Maria Innocentia Hummel began to appear in the 1930s in Germany and Switzerland, mostly pastoral drawings of children. The German art publisher Ars Sacra was involved in the early popularization of the art on postcards. Hummel's "art cards" became popular throughout Germany, catching the eye of Franz Goebel, porcelain maker and head of W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik. Goebel acquired rights to turn Hummel's drawing into figurines, producing the first line in 1935.[1] The figurines were introduced at the Leipzig Trade Fair, a major European show for the industry. Goebel was known for presenting new and novel products that attracted American distributors. By the end of the year, 46 M.I. Hummel motifs were on the market, in America sold at Marshall Field & Co. of Chicago and other retailers.

05:38 That's an enhanced photograph. It starts out with a photo and then the artist embellished over the top. The USA does indeed have dollar coins, but no matter how hard they've tried no one likes them. My dad had a 1966 Chrysler New Yorker - we literally put a 10-speed in the trunk at least once. Folded the front wheel over and closed the trunk. It was a gas guzzler of course, but it rode better with bad shocks than modern cars with good ones.
