The very first Super Bowl, a GTO that started it all, and a vibrating football field.

Evening, friend, Jack Reynolds here. January 15 always reminds me of 1967, when two football leagues finally met on the field and started a tradition that stops the whole country every year. Stick around for the car that officially kicked off the muscle era, my neighbor revved his every Sunday morning. And wait till you remember that electric football game that buzzed more than it moved.

Brings it all back, doesn’t it?

On January 15, 1967, the Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10 in Los Angeles. Tickets cost just $12, and amazingly, the stadium didn’t even sell out. It wasn’t called the “Super Bowl” officially yet, but Bart Starr sure played like it was. Click to read about the humble start of the big game.

This 1964 Pontiac GTO basically invented the muscle car era. The GTO package cost just $295 extra on a LeMans, but it packed a 389 V8 with 325 horsepower. Today, a pristine convertible can fetch over $100,000. My neighbor washed his every Saturday like it was religion. Click for the specs that started the horsepower war.

Schwab’s Pharmacy was the heartbeat of Hollywood in 1950, where folks sipped sodas hoping to get discovered. The counter was always busy, and the magazines were fresh.

“Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce” was the 1974 anthem that told us we didn't have to settle for a pre-made burger. The “Have It Your Way” campaign set Burger King apart and ran for years. My kids sang it in the backseat every time we passed one. Click to sing along with the original chorus.

Barbara Eden crossed her arms and blinked into fame in 1965, and “I Dream of Jeannie” ran for five seasons of pure charm. Now in her 90s, she is still appearing at events and looks fantastic. She never really stopped smiling. Click to see her journey from the bottle to today.

Tonight’s “Your Memory” comes from David in Ohio, remembering the buzz of his metal electric football board in 1970. He says he spent hours painting the little plastic players, only to watch them spin in circles or vibrate into the corner. But when a running back actually broke free, he cheered like he was at the stadium. Simple fun was the best fun.

Tonight’s Quote comes from George Burns, who lived to 100 and kept us laughing. He said, “You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old.” That’s the spirit I try to keep every morning. Staying young is about how you see the world. You can learn more about him here. Click to read about the man who smoked cigars and outlived them all.
