After reflecting on the 70's, and seeing a few pictures of what I thought was trendy attire at the time as well as remembering how we decorated our houses at the time, I now know why I'm very fond of the early 50's look. I still remember the black shirt, white tie (kinda shiny too), and some kind of plaid bell bottom pants - egad, thank heavens no one had a camera. My wife must truly love me, she stuck with me through all of that - and I even had hair - now that I vaguely remember.....and now that you mention incense burner I'm wondering what the heck ever happened to mine.......

Our late 70's MOHO had the roll-up woodslat w/ macrame window coverings (browns, ornage & tans). They seemed to work well, but we didn't like the "style", we put in mini blinds 6 years ago and are now thinkin about roll-ups (bamboo) style again...go figure.
But that's the fun of it...if you don't like it, change it and be happy. Who cares what anyone else thinks (until you have to sell it).

Sometimes I think us color blind guys must see a different, more harmonious world than others. I have never seen any colors that offended me, with the exception of some politicians wearing campaign buttons.
And I was definitely in the 60's and 70's. By all accounts, I had a good time. reports are still filtering in....

Nice Color
Whats wrong with historic trends or colors? It just takes one influential person like Jay Leno (or myself ) to drive one of these to the big show and everyone will want one.

Alas, it doesn't matter if Jay Leno likes it or not, those old wagons were rode hard and put up wet and very few of them have survived.
I've always liked wagons.. I drive one, though it's a modern Subaru turbocharged ticket-getter as much as a grocery-getter, so it's not quite comparable to that Mercury beast.

Didn't see anyone post my original fabric.... which I still have under the slip covers. I try to keep everything that was original in case I sell someday and find that owner covets the original stuff. Now, what am I thinking? Would anyone really want that stuff?  The curtains weren't original so I didn't need to save them.

Up here, they mainly just rusted away quietly. My wife's '77 "Country Squire Family Queen Truckster" was like the Energizer Bunny. Interior room by the acre, and unstoppable. Big yellow wagon with the fake wood on the sides.
Well, the only thing it couldn't pass was a gas station.
