Don't have that one, but I picked up some old hippie buttons from Urban Ore in Berkeley. One of them reads, "I'm a tiger, can I get in your tank?"

Anybody remember Zap Comics? Done by the same artist, R. Crumb, who did the "keep on truckin" shown earlier. I have all the issues in great shape sealed in plastic in storage. Great stuff. Good old days for sure.

I had one of the yellow diamond signs in my van's curtained rear window that read: Nudist aboard! no peeking

The joke was it was true!

One of my heroes from the college days, this is worth watching! A full hour but you'll be surprised, I guarantee it!

Chrome chain steering wheel !!! What's the chances of finding one of those at a swap meet around here. And Ross, the jeans on that girl in the picture you posted is bringing back memories big time. Oh to go back to high school for a week. Missed out on miniskirts but got lots of tight blue jean memories.

Most of the tight jean memories I have were a result of miniskirts....

I think that keep on truckin' guy on the sticker is actually the 'Flakey Foont'. Mr. Natural was the old guy with the white beard. Well the other old guy with the white beard. I can't wait to check out the video. I had a bumper sticker on my '71 that said 'split wood, not atoms'. I have a footprint gas pedal on my '59 f350. Yeah, I was so there.......

You can still buy chain steering wheels. Popular with the lowrider crowd.

Never thought of the lowrider crowd. Don't think I have ever seen a lowrider here in southern Ontario. Always though it would be neat to take one around to some of the shows here. So there is hope to finding a steering wheel. Thanks for the thought AX.

Not sure about the chain link variety, but I always heard that the reason the low rider crowd liked those small diameter steering wheels was because they made it easier to drive handcuffed........
