Odd/even days back in the early 70s,,, how many of you remember it?

Question

I DO MY CAR HAD AN EVEN NUMBER,, WHAT WAS YOUR,,I GUESS I AM AGEING MYSELF SORRY

Answer 1

I sure do remember that.  Also in our town we could not totally "fill up", we were rationed at how much we could fill up.

Answer 2

I remember them.  At that time, the state was switching over plate numbers from 3 letters then 3 numbers to 3 numbers then 3 letters.  I had one of the new license plates that ended with a letter, so I was considered an odd and had to wait for my day to come up to buy gas.  I would get up before the sun to sit on line in a car with a non-working heater in the dead of winter just to get $5.00 worth of gas (which was a lot of gas back then) which was the limit you could buy.  There was also a law that said you couldn't buy gas unless your tank was less than half full.

Answer 3

Heck ya...and do you remember who was President?  What caused that crazy era?  How about Nixon/Ford, OPEC, and a "united" Middle East.

Those days are not far away again, I am afraid.

Answer 4

I remember it from the back of the family station wagon.
