#1 · This Date Back Then
A quick hop back to one real moment from the golden years that had folks talking.
Bears Win Super Bowl XX, 46-10 (1986)
|
|
The 1985 Bears didn’t just win, they rolled, taking Super Bowl XX by a 46-10 score. That defense piled up seven sacks, and New England finished with just 123 total yards. I remember folks saying, “Good luck moving that wall.” Click for the full story and the little details that still make you grin. |

#2 · The Car We All Wanted
Slip back into the driver’s seat of the American machines we circled in the brochures.
1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427/435, Marina Blue
|
|
The 1967 Corvette with the 427 and the 435-horsepower rating was America’s bragging rights on four tires, especially in Marina Blue. One documented sticker shows about $5,888 new, and a nice one now can land in the $150,000 to $250,000 neighborhood. My brother had a poster, and I sure understood why. Click to see the photos and that paperwork up close. |

#3 · Corner of America
One small patch of town that shows how everyday America grew up around us.
Third & Wisconsin, Milwaukee, mid-to-late 1970s
|
|
That big Walgreens sign, the taxi rolling through, and folks waiting at the corner, you can almost hear the crosswalk click. These downtown Milwaukee shots were taken by Ray Szopieray in the 1970s and turned up decades later as old slides, like a time capsule in a shoebox. I love that. Click for more photos and the backstory. |

#4 · The Ad You Still Quote
A commercial or print ad whose lines still pop into your head at the oddest times.
“I’d Like to Buy the World a Coke” (Hilltop), 1971
|
|
“I’d like to buy the world a Coke,” and boy did that line stick. Coke approved a $100,000 budget, then the whole thing ballooned to over $250,000 after weather delays and a re-shoot, with more than 1,200 young people cast. They even got over 100,000 letters from viewers. Click to watch and read how they pulled it off. |

#7 · Nightcap Quote
One last quote from a familiar voice to end the night right.
Will Rogers on Keeping Moving
|
|
Quote: Will Rogers, on steady effort and good sense. “Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.” I like that, because it sounds like something my dad would have said before handing me a rake or a wrench. If you want a little more of his story, learn more about them here. He was one of a kind. |

See you tomorrow. Same time, same station. – Jack |
