tabbs Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 The year was 1957, and -- the Treaty of Rome was signed (founding what today is the European Union), the state of Saarland joined the Federal Republic of Germany, and the Bundesbank (Germany's central bank) was established. Oh, and ... Osama bin Laden was born, Humphrey Bogart died, and yours truly did not exist. Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 The year was 1957 and my mother was still in middle school. I have pictures of her in poofy dresses and hair styles that I know she must have loathed but been forced to have. She was a jeans and tee shirt and keds girl in an era of bobby socks, prim dresses and polished black leather shoes. The 1950's were definetely a conformist era, and I think because of that the result was the 1960's counter culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just carl Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 1957. I was collecting coins for 14 years by then. Obviously the most important thing here has been missed. The 57 Chevy convertible with the 270 engine, dual quad carb's, stick shift and the fastest thing around. Buddy of mine had one while I was driving a 51 Merc. And how about that 57 T-Bird? Still my favorite was the Continental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
