Alpo Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Just out of curiosity, anybody ever heard that knob called a "necker knob"? I get it. I just never heard that phrase. Called it a "honey hugger" around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Just out of curiosity, anybody ever heard that knob called a "necker knob"? I get it. I just never heard that phrase. Called it a "honey hugger" around here. Never heard either of those terms but they're pretty descriptive. We knew them as "suicide knobs". Having one of those rap your knuckles as a steering wheel unwound (non power steering) was pretty painful. More Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Lizard And late at night picking up stations from lord knows where because of skip. Had to work swing shift for a while, used to listen to the Spokane Chiefs hockey games. And I live in N. Calif. And engine compartments that actually gave you room to work in. Plus engines that you didn't need a degree in computer science to work on.

Tom Muley Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 my question......................the yellow California plates? Also, necker knob?

Big Jake1001 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 California used the Yellow Plate with Black letters and numbers through 1962. 1963 Calif. changed to Black Plates with Yellow letters and numbers. 1963-1969. 1970 was the first year with Blue Plates and Yellow letters and numbers. Black Plates had 3 letters then 3 numbers. Blue Plates had 3 numbers then 3 letters. Big Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Muley Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 That is what color they were back then Tom Yeah, but it wasn't a California car until 2003. Car was bought and registered in Idaho, 1940. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jake1001 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yeah, but it wasn't a California car until 2003. Car was bought and registered in Idaho, 1940. In California, you can buy an old set of plates from the year the car was mfg. at a swap meet and register them as personal plates with the DMV. This is what the new owner has done. Lets people know what year the car is without asking the driver. Big Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I have a nice 1966 GMC 3/4t 2wd pickup in the barn with ~45,000 original miles on it that my dad bought new in '66. He died in '88, and, although I start it a couple times a month, it's barely been driven since he passed. I put it on Craig's List earlier this year and sold it to a feller who drove up with cash money, but left it parked in the barn saying he would come back for it... it's going on seven months now, I haven't seen or heard of him since, and I'm still holding the title... weird. I don't remember the guy's name and have no contact info for him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the camper. What's with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
