The history of nation is so amazing. I am passionate about preserving as much of it as I can. I hope I can inspire others to find an era, style, or area of interest. Dive deep and possibly incorporate a tiny snippet of that history into your modern life.

1960 Cot for Babies & Toddlers
Pint-Sized Cot Keeps Baby Happy
From November 1960 Popular Mechanics
Built to provide baby with a safe, comfortable and familiar bunk anywhere the family goes, the new British "Autocot" fits snugly between the front seat and the rear deck in any car; won't slip during turns or sudden stops. The canvas hammock is slung from an aluminum frame which expands from 40 to 48 inches in two-inch steps to adjust to cars of any length. Outside the car, aluminum legs fold down to make a bed or seat for the yard, beach, or hotel rooms. The whole cot weighs only four pounds, and collapses for carrying and storage into a flat 24-inch package. Thus a bed familiar to the baby can be carried anywhere.

1940 Danville, VA Car Dealership contest
The Swanson Car dealership was looking for a new slogan, so they asked the public for help.
First prize in 1940 was $25 cash!
They were located at 115 N. Market St., Danville, Virginia.
I tried to find them on social media with no luck.
Great image of their dealership.

"New" 1955 Dodge
I know there are a lot of folks that really love vintage cars....me included.
I love the old auto ads! These classic cars will never go out of style. Here is one from a 1953 publication featuring a new '54 Dodge sedan. LOVE the color!
The bottom picture shows the classic lights that collectors love....and ladies didn't leave the house without their hat & gloves.
