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.
