Remco... if your '74 has an 8-track, ya gotta go Disco baby! BeeGees and Donna Summer! Get your polyester disco suit out and boogie down!

Rent a couple of disco-era movies... they'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know about that era... Saturday Night Fever, Xanadu, Boogie Nights... I'm sure there are others...

dress to match trailer

I do dress to match the age of the trailer (1967). Unfortunately, at many rallys I don't seem to fit in.

Remco - I would like to apologize in advance for the impending deluge of bad clothing examples that you are likely to recieve. You must consider that those you are asking advice of may not be excellent examples of good taste.....

Blue jeans and tee shirts are a good choice in any decade (unless of course, you are from New York and then the jeans must be black).

So, in my case that would be clothes from 1985? Yeah, I pretty much still wear those every day.

Petunia and I dress casual yet sporty ... we're timeless.

For me ... hat, jacket and tie ... but no pants.

At least we'll be able to spot you at the rally, Porky

Remco, if you're dressing 70's don't forget the Daisy Dukes!

I looked ridiculous in hip-hugger bell bottoms in the 1960s. I'd look even more ridiculous now with my belly hanging over my belt. Besides, I don't think I could stand looking at the world through rainbow sunglasses at my age.

That's scary!

If I dressed to match the age of mine, I'd be in diapers!

The 50's

Ahhh for the 50's! The most romantic era in American history! Women (---girls!) dressed liked women (---girls!) and men dressed like men - and both sexes were proud to be what they were! Where the he-- did we go wrong??? There's still nothing more fetching than a charming lass who knows how to dress and leaves the rest to that wonderful male ability known as "imagination!" At 65 years old my imagination still beats anything hollywood can dish out! It's great to be a DOM that grew up in the 50's!

Yep, same here, assuming that Levis 501s haven't changed that much over the years. In truth, I'm going somewhat more retro, the older I get: I just got myself a new pair of really funky frames for my glasses (again).

Porky, we will just look for the individual being led off in handcuffs for indecent exposure...

Do you dress to match the age of your trailor

While I haven't yet done so, a couple of my students suggested the idea while we were listening to an old 8-track with TV Theme Songs (the theme from The Dukes of Hazzard was playing) while waiting for the Homecoming Parade to begin a year ago. Their idea was that I should dress up as Boss Hogg for the Vintage Open House since I already have the Cadillac Convertible to go with the scenario when I take the Cadillac and Minuet to the WBCCI International Rally. I already have the Stetson hat in white - - all I need to do is find a white leisure suit and buy a pair of white shoes and I could be ready to go. I am still debating whether to go through with the idea!

This is the car, only it will be towing the Minuet rather than the Overlander as in this picture.

Kevin,

You have to get a set of longhorns for the hood to complete the picture!

Greetings Brett!

I knew that I was forgetting something. I actually do have a set of longhorns from my days living in Western Kansas - - about the same time I acquired the Stetson.

Don't forget the cheesy plastic horn-rimmed sunglasses!

Also some pistols for door handles ... and lots of Silver Dollars.

Here's a good example:
