being a 'one car family' was normal, it did not mean you were on the brink of poverty
only having seatbelts in the front, and even then they weren't compulsory to wear.
chasing raindrops down the window and playing 'I spy' for entertainment.
'picinic' lunches on long drives. If we got fish and chips on a long drive it was an event, not expected.
No cargo barriers in station wagons back then - we used to dive in the back to find our books / toys
