Interesting article in a collector car magazine I get, and thought I would share some things from 1964 --

Plans to Build the World Trade Center were announced
Merv Griffin's game show "Jeopardy" debuted on NBC --and STILL going some 48 years later...WOW!
Warren Commission declared that Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone

Ford Mustang (1964 1/2)
Chevrolet Chevelle
Pontiac Le Mans GTO
Lamborghini 350GT

The Top Films of 1964

Mary Poppins
My Fair Lady

Top Billboard Songs

"I Want To Hold Your Hand" -- The Beatles

1964 was a good year! I was not even born yet and I know all the words to all but one song and have seen all but one of of those movies. Thank you for sharing!

My neighbor had a 1964 Ford Mustang when I was growing up and I wanted one so bad when I got my license. Never did get one.

I was 5 years from being hatched in 1964! I spent 41 days in the 60's. Ahhh, I remember them well. Thanks, Thom.

Thom...

I remember it all like it was yesterday ... and of course, I was not allowed to see the James Bond Movies because I was too young!

Pretty Woman-still one of my favorite Roy Orbison songs! Even better in 1964 I went to the first US Beatles concert in Washington DC. My dad was livid that mom took me and a few of my friends. I remember being mad because of all the screaming and couldn't hear the music.

I remember the 64½ Mustangs when they first game out. :)
