    44 years ago today

    I remember it well. How could anyone who experienced it not? http://tinyurl.com/af3w2gv And no, it wasn't faked because, ironically, the technology to fake it didn't exist back then. Hoping nobody here is one of the 6% of Americans, a number that defies belief, who thinks it was but...

It applies to all model year vehicles 1976-1995 except...
