Triedaq: Early 1960s. “See the USA in your Chevrolet”. I suffered with dial-up internet in my small town for 5 or 6 years. I joke that the arthritic little old lady retired and her much younger replacement was able to switch the plugs fast enough for DSL. 256kps to start then upgraded to 1.5mps at no additional charge. $3 more per month than dial-up so I’m not complaining.
I was thinking that my Father’s 1926 Ford roadster with the new for that year driver’s door was probably $5 more expensive the rail freight may have been $9.
@sgtrock21 I can’t see the USA in my Chevrolet. Groucho sent me to my DeSoto/Plymouth dealer and I came out with a DeSoto.
Wasn’t that Dinah Shore? Can’t remember what show it was. Maybe Ed Sullivan or Bonanza or something. Always a nice new white Chevy convertible. Of course they weren’t very popular in Minnesota. Ah, them were the days, huh?

Did the duck come down with the money when you said the magic woid?

@Bing Dinah Shore sang "See the USA in your Chevrolet. Ed Sullivan sent you to the Lincoln/Mercury dealer. Milton Burle thought you should drive a Buick. Dinah Shore had her own show called the Dinah Shore Show. Ed Sullivan hosted the Ed Sullivan Toast of the Town. Milton Burle had the Milton Burle show. One bit of trivia:Fords were used on Dragnet because Joe Friday’s first partner, Officer Frank Smith was Ben Alexander. Ben Alexander had a big Ford agency in L.A at the time. Just the facts.
“Groucho sent me to my DeSoto/Plymouth dealer and I came out with a DeSoto.”
Was it one of these?
Interesting @Triedaq I wonder why Andy Griffith always had Fords? I was watching a few of those old commercials and there was one for the 57 Ford hardtop convertible. They said in ten years it would be the standard. I guess wrong again, 57, 58, and 59 and that was the end of it until BMW now I believe. I loved those 57 Fords though. A guy across the hall in school had a 57 hardtop convertible. We were heading to a dance one night as he slid into the back end of another car and bashed in the front fender. I thought what a shame but he wasn’t too concerned. Seemed like everyone had more money than me.
So...the difference between a "Tudor" and a "Fordor" is..."Mordor?"
I’d think it would be TuModor, sorry just had to.
Want to agree with @Marnet and @jtsanders ; but I’m not a female; I don’t have a technical background. Other than that, I agree this is a fun place to read and learn interesting things. Much better than a lot of shows that get passed off as “entertainment” on tv these days. Really cool that we’ve got so many regulars who take time to post these interesting stories and facts. 
I’m not of the female persuasion, either. At least not the last time I looked…
I’m going to pass on that comment except that the colder it gets, and the older you get . . .
