You find your old rags .... 69 was a good year if you weren’t in Vietnam.

Hemi Coronets at the local Dodge Dealer, beer, cigarettes, rock and roll, willing girls. It was awful.
 
with all the damn 'riots' in all the inner-shitty's
you'd think it was 1969 again, or fall of 1968 at a min.

:lol:

I may have selective memory, but I remember no riots, burning or looting in 1969. A few hippie type protests, yes but they were not thugs that kill, burn, and loot. If I remember correctly it was all about LOVE, and PEACE.

Not in '69, but summer of '68 was full of riots, looting and burning. Around the time of the '68 DNC (July, I think) in Chicago. I think LA and other big cities also saw riots. I know even smaller towns like South Bend, Indiana had a week or so of race riots (late July into August) that summer, so I'm sure there were other small towns with the same problems too.

Maybe I have lead a sheltered life here in Alabama???? I do remember MLK and the race relations of the 50's and early 60's. George Wallace in the school house doors, etc. I would still choose that over what's going on today. We all got along just fine here until outsiders said we shouldn't. Now to today we were beginning to all get along together again when BLM, everything else started. The friends and associates of other races that I have tell me they feel the same.
 
On a quiet country road in your vintage mopar ... it can still seem the same for a little bit.
 
I was 16, and my GTX was a gleam in my eye. I still have the magazines, Playboy, Car Life, Car and Driver, and Car Craft. Took 46 years to get the car, but worth the wait. The GTX has aged better than most of the 1969 centerfolds who are still alive, with the exception of Helena Antonaccio. She's found the fountain of youth, or cut some kind of surreal deal.
