Location: B.C. | I worked in a music store in the late 60's and brought in an Ovation semi-acoustic wood body that was finished in the same black bumpy finish as the acoustic guitar backs. It was an entry level model. It didn't sell well and was disco'd shortly after its inception. I can't seem to find any record of this model anywhere. It was on the shelf in 1969 or early 1970.Anyone have a pic or remember the model#? |

That would be a 1235.
Yeah, It might have been comparatively cheap at the time.
But I always remember that in 1971 we rented a three-bedroom house for $150...
Minimum wage was $66 for a 40 hour week...
And a case of Narragansett beer was $5. (Quart of Budweiser was 55 cents)
So $199 wasn't really that damn cheap. |

| Must be you guy's did not drink it all, they were selling the beer you guy's left to me and my crew in 1976-77 for 68 Cents.
We found the best bang for the buck was Quarts of Miller High Life. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Cheapskates. I went for the good stuff. A bottle of Boonesfarm went for 99 cents and would easily put one under and provide a good start for the second. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill was what we drank when we were out with the girls.
When the guys took our senior trip to Bailey Colorado, we drank much more manly stuff like lime vodka and Everclear. The Everclear was the best bang for the buck.
Randy, I think I was drinking Miller in quarts when I got pulled over one time. I tossed the bottle under the car, but of course it rolled back out when the cop was standing by the door. He asked if that was my beer, so I asked him what brand it was. Damned if I can remember now what brand it was.
I'm often surprised I lived through that era. |

| I agree on the Boone's Strawberry with the ladies, but when we went out cruising in my 62 Impala, it was always at least a couple/four of 8 packs of Schoenling Little Kings... cream ale @2.10 per 8 and knocked your * in the dirt... we finally wound up rolling that Impala into a cornfield, all got out unhurt, 4 of us, laughing our butts off, rolled it back over and plowed our way out.
one of the few things from the 70's I remember.
they did promise me flashbacks tho.... still waiting.

Oh, sorry. On topic, I agree that it must be an Eclipse. |
