....to keep the smoke crud off of everything!

 

AAhhh, brings back memories. I had a grandmother who did the same, plastic over the furniture and curtians, seems smoking out side would have been cheaper.
When my grandfather bought a new car he had the seats covered in the clear plastic with heavy plastic floor mats.

Speaking of dealers, my grandfather bought American Motors for the longest time. I remember going to the dealer with him on a few occasions and if I remember right they were on a first name basis, those days are gone.

 

Well.... as this thread slowly continues to drift off topic.....The picture above explains a lot about why we played outside so much as kids. Who can remember sticking to the furniture on a hot summer evening when there was no AC??

To keep,it on topic....
My dad had a friend that was a car salesman, when it was time to by a new car it was a quick and painless transaction. Total time, about 2 hours and most of that time was spent talking old times.
No wonder I don't know how to deal with car salesmen. All that back and forth and yelling was alien to me.

 

I forgot to add that when my grandfather bought a new car he had them install the clear plastic seat covers (talking about sticking to something, use to hate the long drives to family reunions) along with some heavy duty floor mats.

 

MkI Scirocco.....nothing better.
