Not really jokes, but something for past times.......

The yellow insert to play a 45 large spindle single on a small spindle phonograph (they call them turntables now)

Yeah, that one. I recognized and owned the 45 inserts.

We had this something like this one, too. I had RCA record player that folded up and it used the tube.

Along with not needing the plastic insert for 45's... This also allowed you to stack the records and drop one at a time... coarse we all new that... LOL

Since a few of you have grabbed onto the old record player stuff, here's another one, especially for the younger crowd.....

Lots of cool stuff; I remember all of it. Love the wide slicks on the back of that Challenger.

Yeah, I was thinking 67 or 68, but definitely not a Mopar.

67 and 68 RS had the backup lights below, SS did not , or at least that's how I remember it.

Those really sucked when you made a mistake and had to redial! Can still remember the sound they made.

I can't remember if 67 or 68 was the first year that cars had side marker lights. If 68 was the first year, then that Camaro is a 68. Not 100% sure which year was the first year of side marker lights on American made cars.

Here's a couple of pics that may help you both out...

So 68 was the first year with side marker lights. That was my first inclination. Thanks for clearing that up.
