Am I a classic?

I just finished moving one of the old tandem-axle trucks we still use occasionally here on the farm. When I looked at the radio it brought back a flood of memories, I just had to give the old AM radio a try - nothing.

Who else remembers push-button tuning AM radios? Not to age myself too much, but I remember hauling wheat, sweating profusely in the summer heat (AM radio was a luxury in this truck, air conditioning wasn't going to happen) and hearing 'Hotel California' on this very radio when it was a hit song. If 'Hotel California' is now a classic, am I old or am I a classic too?

When I turned 16 they hadn't broken ground on Hotel California LOL. A/C was nonexistent in the trucks, car and house. We did have push button radios and the family dodge had pushbutton transmission selector.

Cool photo, and nice reminiscences of the Olden Days. I recall hearing Hotel California when it was on the radio all the time. I learned to drive truck in a 1947 Ford two-ton that had no radio of any kind.

Nice photo.

Hotel California was almost an anthem, especially for us living in California.
