The cars of the 1960s usually were long, had round headlights, and had bright colors such as yellow, red, blue, and even pink, unlike the bland similar colors of today's cars. 1960s cars didn't have onboard computers, and tended to sound a little louder than today's cars with silencer technology. Some 1960s cars had air conditioning, while others didn't. I'm pretty sure that all of them had radios in them at the time, but some only contained AM radios, while others could tune in to both AM and FM, which was relatively new at the time.

No, believe it or not, even that far back we had airplanes, trucks, buses, ships and even trains!

They (we) had everything then that we have now and more (trolley cars), but cars were glorified ... they were the transport of the future. Roads were built, and towns were built that only a car would allow you to move about.

During the Vietnam War era (the 60s/70s) US auto makers began to manufacture "planned obsolesence" cars. Meaning, if you wanted to replace a simple part near the front A frame, you had to remove the whole A frame to get to it. Labor cost a fortune. It cost so much the car owner simply said, "Sc...w it! I'll just buy a whole new car!" Which was Detroit's intent to begin with...sell MORE CARS! Detroit cars ate more fuel (gas hogs) and wore out more quickly (SELL MORE CARS!). With smaller better built and fuel economy cars from over seas...Detroit began to have a SELLERS problem...the rest is history.

What jobs can a towing truck do?

Depending on what kind of tow truck you have, it can transport cars, trucks, and various other motorized vehicles. You can work towing cars that are broken down, cars that have been involved in accidents, or are being repossessed by the dealers. If you want to transport trucks and larger equipment, it is much better to do it with a large or flatbed tow truck, as towing a vehicle by only two wheels can cause it serious alignment issues and damages.
