Fender skirts and dual slanted antennas on the rear fenders. Not to mention lowered rear ends. But the maverick in the crowd was the guy who lowered his front end of his 52 Chevrolet! I remember one guy who added the dual slanted antennas on the rear fenders, but still had the single upright mast on the front right fender. So uncool!!! But the white fuzzy stuff around the inside rear view mirrors and sun visors had to be the coolest!

I wanted my parents to get a wagon so bad...just to get the tail gunner seat. They never did. By the time my dad finally bought a wagon it was an Escort and I was grown.

And in the late 60's, they were avocado green too. We had one when I was a kid. My parents were either color blind or perpetually stoned.
