Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Jul 25 21:53:07 2006, in response to Re: Pic: blast from the past, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Jul 25 21:29:25 2006. Truth be told, when I would get an R42 on the M in the summer back then, I usually would rather have had an R30 or R16, at least those had those fans that blew the hot air around. The R42's were stifling with no AC running, as then you didn't even have the movement from the fans.I remember the first time I saw a pre GOH R42 when they did the quick clean up before GOH. It was Spring 1985 or Spring 1986 (not sure), but it was a "WOW" seeing those all cleaned up and what I thought was the best look of their lives, with the interior and exterior doors painted dark blue. They sure looked sharp (sharper than now with the smaller windowed, stainless doors). Another new thing at that point was the "whole car" ads. It was the first time I saw them put the same product add all over one whole side of the car (they do that often today). Before that, we were used to the mishmosh of ads like "Pregnant? We can help" or the adventures of Jose and Marisol ads and all the Aids and STD's they caught rumping anyone they could get near. |
