I was born in 1948. That video is a real trip down memory lane. It was a time of happiness and innocence.

Born 1955 . . . I remember most that stuff, much of which carried into the 1960's . . . :)

Born in 1939. The 50?s was when I discovered girls and beer. Took me almost twenty more years to finally get my life stabilized.

I was born in 1954 and I do remember near all of those. Simpler times and not so many offended people either. We were dirt poor but not criminals by any means. We lived life for life itself and wouldn't think about harming others for any reason or what they have. Today is so different. Can't say I like the modern ideas either.

I always said I was born a generation too late. I would have loved to been 18 in the mid/late 50's. My favorite sound track is the one for American Graffiti..... I believe that took place in '62, the year I was born.. Still recognized a bunch of that stuff... Like someone said, it spilled into the 60's and even early 70's.......

I'm a 58' model and I remember most of those. Good times back then. Our kids now have no clue how good we had it.

1944 for me, so yes I remember all of that, some of the items we did not use in South Ga, like snow sled, no snow.

1953 here. I also remembered just about all of it. Laughed when I saw that small group of yellow plastic disks in one shot. Bet nobody born after 1960 or so knows what they were!
