Colors ugly as hell, but damn it…they just work! Avocado green…harvest gold…
Seven years ago we remodeled our kitchen. Bought ourselves a brand new Kenmore refrigerator that matched our new scheme. Damn thing didn’t work the day we took it off the pallet. Sears wouldn’t let us return it. We had to go through their warranty repair service. Three weeks later, we finally had a working refrigerator.
We have a refrigerator that we bought in 1985 for our first house. It is still running in my mother in law's garage. They are truly amazing appliances from that time period.

Design a fridge to meet a energy consumption mandate rather than to cool food this is what you get.
These are my all-time favorite and STILL one of the coolest toys ever made! Many recesses were spent digging in the dirt, creating obstacles, to try and stop Stompers!
My dad gave us a Hot Wheels Sizzlers set for Christmas of 70 while we are at Sembach Airforce Base. My sister and I woke up during the night and peeked thru the hallway door in the living area to see him and my two older brothers setting it up. Lots' of fun...
Would make an awesome cabin kitchen unit.
Loved Hotwheels as a kid... Never could get the Loop-de-loop thing to work, though...
Cheers and great pix!

$4?!!! You used to only get a buck. That's how the dollar got its nickname. True story.

When dad was buying fur in the '80s, he was buying deer hides for $7 or a pair of deer skin gloves...most people went for the gloves, he bought the gloves by the gross for $2/pair.$4?!!! You used to only get a buck. True story.
I stayed in a motel near the Allegheny National Forest that had one of these. I loved it
Designed failure. It's engineered into the product. It's how companies stay in business.
In the HVAC business people ask me all the time, how long will it last? Until the warranty runs out. They don't expect it to last much longer than they warranty it for.

Exactly...and sadly. We live in a disposable world now. They don't build things to last, and when they break it costs almost as much to fix as it does to replace...so we replace, and live in a false sense of security with the brand new warranty.
That’s a sweet collection! If I remember right, the early versions were single speed with foam tires only, and the later versions had two speeds and both foam and rubber tires. They tried to make a comeback in the late 90’s or so, under a new manufacturer, but it didn’t last. We bought each of our kids one.
These are all single speed but with rubber tires. I had the semi and even the pulling sled. I still have part of the sled. I don't recall any being two speeds but I've slept since then.
I love the 70s.
Drinking tang.
The draft was ending.
Hippies were starting to cut their hair and take a bath.
Cocaine was still being manufactured with ether instead of the bullshit diesel fuel used now.
