Those Darned Amish and Quakers Are At It Again

Ah, you were a silver spoon guy. 

Not even close. I still drive by the duplex where we lived at the time and I swear the entire size is maybe 900 square feet. My dad worked and my mom was in school, and there was me and my baby sis at the time. I guess it was a necessity.

Back on top, a little.

The old milk delivery we got came in a brown bottle - I think it was Meadow Gold.

No, the brown bottles came from the trunk of a '49 Hudson.

Nope!  That I remember - they were - and are - Mason jars.  Good stuff,...just like Mother's milk!  Quarts and pints.  I especially like the economy gallon size!  Must be clear so you can see the filling.  It too must be clear or there is something skunky going on. 

It is always best to carry a small eye dropper with you when picking up the jar.  Take a little out, put in on a flat surface, take a sniff, and if your eyes don't water, it isn't right.

Milk or the stuff from the trunk of a 49 Hudson?

From the trunk of the Hudson.  Mercury's were used more around here, and the occasional Cadillac.  Had an ex outlaw-inlaw who was bootlegger (and her husband).  Interesting people.

Our family's 54 Buick Special had a HUGE trunk.  With overload springs on the rear axle, we used to haul rocks to put in the rock garden.  (We had better luck with rocks than flowers.  )  The car still rode like a boat though. It was happy all day at turnpike speeds but it didn't have much acceleration.  I think the senior series (Century & Roadmaster) did better in that regard with bigger engines.

Have been told that the 50s big ones didn't accelerate that great, but would go fast and smooth.  (I wasn't driving until I got to about 8 - late fifties).

Definitely boats!
