I like the water bag on the ford wagon, i bet none of the cars in that picture has air conditioning.

Heh, I have a cousin who stopped in a place like that in the '60s and went to the bathroom while the attendant was filling the car with gas. He came out to find the guy holding the air filter, pulled apart like an accordion, telling him he needed a new one. Bad move, as my cousin had just got back from Viet Nam (did I say that he was a Green Beret?). That filter ended up being free of charge. :nods:
