Yup, born in 1959 so I remember those prices as well. Going through some of my older stuff and found a bottle of testers paint at .25 cents from TG&Y. Lol
We have date of origin here where you can use 1970 new mexico plates on a 1970 car. I have horseless carriage plates on my 1971 charger, 7.50 for 5 years
