My parents bought a baby blue Galaxy 500 from Miller-Massey in 1962. The next year we drove it to California and back. Those were the days when the oil had to be changed every 3,000 miles so we took along enough extra motor oil and filters. In those days when if you changed the oil by the side of the road you just dumped the old oil in the ditch.
Those were also the days of tires that lasted 10,000 miles, at most, then you had them recapped. And you also had a pair of "snow tires" that you put on the rear wheels in November and removed in March.
1979 .. New on the music scene.. it's the Sony Walkman.
The Time Machine is a weekly feature I've enjoyed researching and compiling on The Pocomoke Public Eye since 2011. I have fond memories of growing up in Pocomoke City and welcome reader contributions we can share about things you've read, remember, or were told relating to our Pocomoke/Eastern shore area...a sentence, a paragraph, or more all fine. Just email it.
