Canadian 1971 Duster 340 4-Speed

Well said. We are not the same people we were when we were in our teens when these crude "Customizations" took place. Like most trends, they were cool at the time but now considered crass by most. Velvet interiors, tires that stuck out of the wheel wells, painting the axle and gas tank white, lace paint jobs with names of your car or saying on them. Cheap AM/FM cassette radios butchered into the dashboards with crackling cheap triaxle speakers and an equalizer hanging under the dash. You know what, they really were fun times!!!

They certainly were fun times. I did notice, that you missed one big trend. Your name just above the drivers side outer door handle, and the girls name that you were "serious" about at the time went above the passenger side door handle. These were done by professional sign painters
