Who remembers the Subaru Brat little pickup truck. They came made with seats in the bed of the truck?

Gotta love the handles on those seats. "Hang on kids...we're gonna go hit some dunes!"

Naugahyde Nauga monster

Kustom amps used to be made with tuck and roll Naugahyde. I had a a blue sparkle Naugahyde Kustom 150 bass amp.

I have one of those in black. The 150, not the 200 pictured.

Drive-in movie speakers. Now, you can listen to the movies at the drive-in on your car radio.

Yep...I'm old enough to remember these too. I used to clean the lot of a local drive in when I was a young teen on Saturdays and Sundays...thank God for the nail in a stick and gloves. Picking up used condoms and dirty diapers were part of the job.

I used to have a customer that turned his Brat into a Corvette-eating autocross machine.

I found a photo of a Kustom 150 bass amp just like the one I had. Also, we had a Kustom P.A. like this one in gold Naugahyde.

Those were the first PA speakers we had in 1987 except they were black tuck n roll. My buddy bought them used from someone else who bought them used from someone else (read: we were young & they were all we could afford at the time!). None of us had a van or truck so we'd split them up in 2 cars, and we had to roll a window down so they'd fit and they'd be hanging out the side windows driving to a practice or gig. We only had them one summer till we 'upgraded' to a Crate PA.

Kid leashes

You can still buy those. I have one for my 7 month old once he starts walking. They are now referred to as a "child safety harness"

Yup, all closed. There may be some franchises somewhere out there.

Sambo's Restaurants were formerly an American restaurant chain, started in 1957 by Sam Battistone and Newell Bohnett. Though the name was taken from portions of the names of its founders, the chain soon found itself associated with The Story of Little Black Sambo. By 1979, Sambo's had 1,200 outlets in 47 US states. However, in the late-1970s, controversy over the chain's name drew protests and lawsuits in communities that viewed the term Sambo as predjudiced towards African-Americans. After renaming some locations as "The Jolly Tiger" or "No Place Like Sam's" the company filed for bankruptcy in 1981.
