Was watching "American Pickers" last night and they were going through the belongings of "Iron Eyes Cody" the Italian 'American Indian' that was in the anti-pollution commercials in the 60's-70's.
Anyway, they played on of those spots and in the bkg on the road one could clearly see a ghia driving past!
Never knew till researching this post that he wasn't a native American indian.
Go figure!

I hate to admit that I was watching the incredibly stupid Netflix series "Wet Hot American Summer" Embarassed but I did spot this nice yellow convertible.
Not sure of the year.
The story is supposed to be set in 1981 and I tried to give it a chance, since there were a lot of big names in it, but it really is "incredibly stupid" (think "Meatballs 2" without Bill Murray).

This was about the high point of the series as far as I'm concerned.

TLC runs a genealogy show called "Who Do You Think You Are?" where they feature famous people researching their family tree. This latest episode featured TV personality Tom Bergeron, and in the opening minutes shows him pulling out of his Portsmouth, New Hampshire home garage in this cool VW convertible. I thought it was pretty cool to see someone like him still drives a bug.

^ ^ I just watched that episode last night.

I don't have a still pic, but saw Straight out of Compton and there is a scene where they are outside a music studio in Torrance, and there is an early bug parked across the street. Cool

Iron Eyes was a family friend in the 60's/70's. Nice group of people, I always thought it what a great idea it was to extend his on screen role to real life. He would show up at events in So Cal and get into character by putting on his Indian getup and wig (he had short hair) What Picker episode was that On BTW?

From 1971 in the movie "$" with Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn.
Shot in Germany in 1970, there are all sorts of cool cars, including a Bug and Ghia along with a Citroen, and a notch sighting, all in the first five minutes.

In a nutshell or even in a bowl of nuts if you want to go into detail, what technology is involved in transferring TV images to TheSamba? I bought my first digital TV a few months ago and the only thing I have hooked up to it is a coax cable that goes to the roof antenna. Embarassed

If you had satellite such as direct you can pause the image then take a photo with your iPhone.imagine having Netflix or being able to access YouTube then pause image snap a photo and post that image to samba gallery. Because of the high resolution available on smartphones you can get a decent image to transfer. Here's an example of a grainy 40 year old photo, a picture of a picture not perfect it was shot using 35mm camera about 1981
