I remember that too as well as that Rolls front end for the VW.

Yes, that VW one was truly classic... and I remember seeing a few of them on the road back then.

I remember back in the 60s, I used to wait for the newer catalog to come in the mail to see what new stuff was in it. Thinking back how we had to fill out the order form, mail it out and wait for a couple weeks before getting what we ordered. Amazing some of the stuff they sold back then. :thumbsup:

In a similar vein, I used to spend an inordinate amount of time browsing through the huge Computer Shopper catalog.

... and remember the back pages of Popular Mechanics? Fireworks, x-ray glasses, loads of stuff (in tiny ads).
