In every case I knew of, those covers never came off. I wonder what happened to those chairs. Do millennial kids have them still with covers?

I remember they were also available for granma's 62 plymouth valiant. I imagine those is the junkyard still with the covers on mint seats.

The Valiants are now cool with some but no seat covers.

You won’t see anything like this done by pure staging and choreography anymore. Berkeley’s stuff was mindblowing…how did he even conceptualize it, let alone block all of it out?

No doubt, there are probably quite a few kitchens out there that still look like that.

Yeah, well, those things were built to last. And last, and last, and...

Busby Berkeley's stuff is pretty spectacular. Some of the swimming scenes seem pretty risque for those times. The synchronizing is most impressive.

That was “pre-code”, when some uptight self-appointed purveyors of morality brought the hammer down on the nascent sound era as times got austere.

The stove here in the house I inherited from my parents is at least 65 y/o. Still works. (it's pale yellow-sort of)

We just replaced the fridge in my parents house that was from 1996. I was disappointed knowing this LG we bought won't last a quarter of that.

Was it originally white?

My refrigerator is 47 years old. I got it in 1979. It's been acting bad lately but I got my money's worth put of it.

No. Somewhere between bone and yellow.
