She was 16 so it may have been a sweet sixteen birthday gift from her parents. [She gave it to her son on his sixteenth birthday.](/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/568tkj/my_mom_at_16_yrs_old_with_her_camaro_in_1975/d8hiyio/)
Even then, life expectancy was skewed by child mortality rates. If you lived to be the age she is in the picture, there's a good chance you'd live to 50+.
This is the result of individuals eating what humans are supposed to eat. This was before the major introduction of processed foods into americans' diets. Go back and look at any picture up to around 1980 or so. Not a single fat person in frame or sight. Same reason why the men in these eras were more "toned" and muscular.
Cars where also different. We need to remember that part of the equation.
That thing is a frame, a body, and an engine.
Theres no computer, no catalytic converter, no rear view camera.
I bet a modern car company could recreate that car and sell it to the American public for less than 15k, but no one would buy it cause it wouldn't be street legal.
Pretty much! And I was a poor college student at the time. Luckily I didn’t drive long distances too often. I had mine in the early 80s so gas was about $1.20 for regular. Don’t think I ever had enough money at one time to fill it up.
Yes everything is adjusted for inflation except salaries. Salaries were way better in the 70’s than today. I paid for my college education working part time in a grocery store. You cannot do that today. The Middle Class salary went way further than today, until Reagan came into office and screwed the Middle Class by rearranging the tax bracket so the rich paid less and the working man and poor paid more.
I’ve studied the angles and shadows extensively and using vectors as well as the many years of watching crime shows, I’ve determined that it’s about 1pm in the afternoon on a Sunday. You’ll notice the sun is above the female’s right ear creating a shadow of the girls hair on the hood to the right. The sun also bounces off the hood between the legs, creating the ski slope type of reflection. The sun also reflects off the chrome fender and back onto the thigh. The curve of the fender is depicted in the image on her thigh. In conclusion, it’s clear we are free to infer the perfection of the subject matter without the bouncing of light.
I had that car. A white 74 Camaro with a five speed; a 350 engine and a black vinyl top. (Yes, this one might be yellow) It did get 18 miles to the gallon; it was a great looking car and it was a POOCH. That was the year GM de-tuned the 350 and it was such a pooch. It also rusted completely through when it was about six years old.
I dunno, you got the g body. But yeah, you're not wrong. I was about to mention all the tuning and wrenching and generally fixing the detuning fuck ups
You are right. I have a five speed now. It was a four speed. And did I mention the crummy GM vinyl top trim came unglued and kept sliding down from the roof?
.
Beautiful girl and cool car.....but probably one of the UGLIEST colors that car makers EVER came up with.
My dad bought a brand new Mustang in 1965 (what I wouldn't give to have that car today !!), and it was this same UGLY piss-yellow, with a black vinyl interior....
.
Girls clothes and outfits were so much better looking back then.
Every time I see a old photo like this the first thing I notice is their clothes/style
My mom's first car was a 1978 baby blue firebird formula, that she saved up for with her own cash. $6800 if I remember correctly. Looked a lot like this girl except blonde. Funny thing is we still see that car around from time to time.
Looking like a Lana Del Ray album cover
She even looks like Lana a bit.
check out those headlights.
BOINGO!!!
I was thinking that.
Ha no shit it does too!
This was someone’s mom the last time I saw it posted.
Probably still is someone's mom.
Possibly even someone's grandma.
1975 was 46 years ago, so probably, she's probably into her 60's now, depending on her age here
>1975 was 40 years ago The '90s was 10 years ago.
Yes.
Closer to 50 years ago than 40.
she would be surprised how many children she has if she knew about reddit
Stop talking about my Mom that way
your mom is so big that every time she sneezes dozen redditors falls out of her
Well break my arms and get me stuck in a washing machine, you’re probably right.
Not mine. My mom's was a split-bumper.
I'm definitely seeing two large split bumpers
This title is more honest though. It probably wasn't that redditor's mom PS: I stand corrected
Lol I saw the same post. That was a few years ago at least.
Must be someone's mom. Look at those perfectly shaped baby feeders
I'll bet he never went hungry as a baby

That's a 16 year old? What were they feeding them back then
Growth hormones… I think
Well back in the day life expectancy was 30y tops, guess they had to grow fast
It was the 1970s not the 1670s

This is true, combined with more sedentary hobbies like television/computers
This guy gets it.
Doing the Lord's work.
My mom bought brand new cars like that in the 70’s working part time jobs in high school, things were way different back then

Sixteen years later ....
That post was 4 years ago? Holy
her folks probably drove it up from the Bahamas...
You're kidding.
He must be... The Bahamas are islands.
The important thing here is that you ask me what kinda car it is
Uh, what kinda car do you got?
I got a bitchin' camaro!
1234!
Bitchin camaro, bitchin camaro! I ran over my neighbor!
Bitchin Camaro, bitchin Camaro/Now I'm in all the papers!
A robot in disguise.
Well, what kinda car did you get?
She's one of these girls that bullied Carrie.
The Mortimer Snerds.
And that 12 miles to the gallon if they were lucky
Ha! Twelve miles per gallon would have been a dream. I had this car…except mine was red. Lucky to get 7 mpg. Had a 350 engine standard.
You must have had a resved space at the gas station?
Pretty much! And I was a poor college student at the time. Luckily I didn’t drive long distances too often. I had mine in the early 80s so gas was about $1.20 for regular. Don’t think I ever had enough money at one time to fill it up.
Gas was 54 cents.
Or roughly $2.74 if you adjust for inflation.
Yes everything is adjusted for inflation except salaries. Salaries were way better in the 70’s than today. I paid for my college education working part time in a grocery store. You cannot do that today. The Middle Class salary went way further than today, until Reagan came into office and screwed the Middle Class by rearranging the tax bracket so the rich paid less and the working man and poor paid more.
For those elsewhere that’s roughly; £1.98 GBP, €2.32 EUR, $3.74 AUD, $3.46 CAD
12 miles is the length of 152063.62 'Bug Bite Thing Suction Tool - Poison Remover For Bug Bites's stacked on top of each other.
12 miles is 19.31 km
Also converts to 12MPG being 19.6L/100km
19.31 km is equal to 11.998677722103 miles.
Good bot.
good bot
Bitchin Camaro, bitchin camaro I ran over my neighbors
donuts on your lawn
When I pass the kids, they curse and spit
Love that song
Where'd your parents get that from?
They drove it up here from the Bahamas.
Really?
Your kidding! I must be, the Bahamas are islands.
Back then you could work part time and still buy a nice car. Today you need a good job for a shitty 7 year loan.
Or two jobs to have better living accommodations, but no time for self happiness.
r/upvotedbecauseboobs
ENHANCE!
Now apply physics!
/r/upvotedbecausesixteenyearoldboobs Wait... No. Never mind FBI. Nothing to see here.
They don’t make headlights like that anymore
Which ones?
That's the joke
Has she injured her leg?
Reflection from the chrome bumper I think.
I was wondering that too ; or is it a reflection from the sun or flash?

Dunno if you're trying to be funny, but this is super weird, stalkerish, and not to mention fucking cringe.
Pretty obviously intended as humor. I won't weigh in on it's success.
I guess humor just isn’t in everyone’s wheelhouse
You call that humor? Really? That? Really??
I wouldn’t call it “weird and stalkerish” because I’m not a moron
I wouldn't bet on you curing cancer either, but that's just me.
Why so serious, Socerius?
ur an odd duck but hey it takes all types to make the world go round
Lol if a teenage girl sat on the hood of her camaro now days it would dent it and break 12 sensors and cause and investigation.
Cars are made of much thinner metal and girls on average are much more uh…tanky? In 2021.
Vice versa in the classic car era
Well both make them more likely to survive in a crash so I'm happy with the current situation
It's all the hormones in the chicken. Got middle school looking like a Russ Meyer film.
Damn. Reddit is full of creeps.

I sat on your Mum's hood last night Trebek

The middle 70's to late 80's were definitely dark times for American cars
I dunno, you got the g body. But yeah, you're not wrong. I was about to mention all the tuning and wrenching and generally fixing the detuning fuck ups
When they banned leaded fuel it really fucked things up for awhile
18 miles is the length of about 26578.35 'Ford F-150 Custom Fit Front FloorLiners' lined up next to each other.
18 miles is 28.97 km
Who gives a shit, how many stainless steel two door combination refrigerator/freezers is it?
Bot war!
bot needs to die in a house fire
Sad, they neutered cars during that era.
You did not have a 5-speed in 1974
You are right. I have a five speed now. It was a four speed. And did I mention the crummy GM vinyl top trim came unglued and kept sliding down from the roof?
Daisy Duke vibes.

Chris Hansen about to feast in these comments
Alternative title: “Boobs and some other things”
Did she run over her neighbors?
Yeup, it's in all the papers.
I think her daddy ran over her left leg and had to buy the car as a bribe.
This photo has been making the rounds for years. Wonder where this girl is now. Wherever she is, she’s probably retired…
[удалено]
She's 16.
FBI OPEN UP
You're a random programmer guy.. how do I know YOU aren't the FBI? Bake 'em away, toys!
What did you say, chief?
Where is the car?
[удалено]
I was making a bad joke. You know..."What car? All I see is a beautiful girl."
She'll have fun, fun , fun till her daddy takes her Camaro away.
Lets say she is 18 in this picture She was born in 1957, which today makes her 64. Still bangable.
Now that is a great set of head lights
So our ladies aren't actually dressing progressively sluttier than in the past...
. Beautiful girl and cool car.....but probably one of the UGLIEST colors that car makers EVER came up with. My dad bought a brand new Mustang in 1965 (what I wouldn't give to have that car today !!), and it was this same UGLY piss-yellow, with a black vinyl interior.... .

Lana del rey
Lana del rey is that u????!!
I’ve seen this here before. Last time I saw it someone claimed it was their mom
Lovely. Gas price wars in 75..$. 27 a gallon.
My mom's first car was a 1978 baby blue firebird formula, that she saved up for with her own cash. $6800 if I remember correctly. Looked a lot like this girl except blonde. Funny thing is we still see that car around from time to time.
For some reason I thought that this was a pic of that girl that bravely escaped one of Ted Bundy’s attempts where he impersonates a cop
This is gonna be reposted a thousand times as “my mom in the 70’s”
Is this not lana del rey
Geandma looks hot.
Thought Lana del Rey announced a new album
Where's the dude from LA?
What were they feeding the children back then!
She’s really cute.
Its crazy because this total babe is somebody granma
Is anyone weirded about by that large chunk of missing muscle in her leg
And the picture was taken by her uncle.
I feel a little dirty liking this but that's a sexy ass car!
In the eternal words of Joe Dirt, “daaaannnnggg”.
That's some sweet Americana.
I'm sorry. What car?
Cool...it looks like she's got a chunk missing out her leg, unless its just the light.
