I remember getting one every year from the Old Cars Magazine people, still tucked away in a draw somewere. The 1970's were the high water mark of the hobby IMO, lots of great memories from that era. Bob

The nice thing about the 70's is you could buy parts cheap at swap meets direct from the owners getting rid of spare parts or cleaning out garages and barns. It didn't take long for the middlemen to step in and buy up the cheap parts to resell them for a good profit.

It wasn't just parts, the cars were still resonable, I can clearly remember the first car to brake $100,000. the yellow and black Walace Duesenberg. Bob

My parents bought their house in 1971 for 21,000$ I purchase the very same house from the family for 325,000 $ in 2011, so it is all relative I guess.
