    Today they would be called cocaine drops.

    Maybe codeine drops ?

    I can remember when all over the counter cough syrup contained large quantities of codeine.

    That was worth watching.

    I'm surprised how clean the streets were compared to NYC streets today.

    Yep, he does. I think it's in a shed, but it was being driven ten years ago. He restored it to shattering beauty( and used a pound of cornflour in the final polishing) and his idiot wife ran into something while driving it.

    Oldsmobile. Even through the 70s & 80s, the steering was super light.

    My Grand Pops had Caddies as long I could remember so power steering was included. He also had a 50' Chevy PU that was one of the hardest steering trucks I had ever driven. He always told me to learn to drive the truck because it would be years before I could afford a Caddie. :razz::razz:

    I still do part time work repairing and restoring old jukeboxes, love working on electro-mechanicals and the original valve/tube amps. Also still fix original Bally one arm bandits although they have become very rare in the UK.

    I bet that's the world's second greatest hobby (next to cooking gourmet meals). :)

    You had bragging rights if your car got 10 miles to the gallon.
