And were back to 30 seconds

Is that our attention span to staying on any one topic?

 

[polara71]

No, that is how long I would last with the san diego cheerleaders. Apparently Bob feels the same way.....


What was the question?

I never heard of him before this commercial.

He's the reason we call them ''Formals''.

 

[1978 NYB]

I guess he (Jack Jones) was a big deal and popular with the old farts that were buying the big Chryslers back in the day. Disco was big time then. Of course I hated disco....I was listening to Bob Seger, Steely Dan, Jefferson Starship, Joe Walsh, Talking Heads, Supertramp, George Thorogood & the Destroyers, etc...........and I'm still listening to them.

Actually, it all stated back with Allpar and it caught on...

Hmmm, very interesting.

 

[Newp]

Alright now I'm confused. So only the 4dr. hardtop NYB's and '74-'75 Imp. 4drs are ''Formals''. No 2drs are.

What about hardtop 4dr. sedan Newports.? same roof line but no Lavaiere straps.
:confused2:

ANY C-body, any make, any model, any style from 1974 - 1978 are the "Formal" years.
But that's only how I express them. Joey thinks they are the latter years.
