My Dad had the same car in the same color. I loved it and the picture brought back so many happy memories .

OH my heavens....avocado. In the 70's, I had an avocado stove, refrigerator, washer and dryer. I truly thought I was the bee's knees. AND my kitchen was avocado and orange. What can I say? It was the 70's, after all.
Mint green is back in, though.

The stove in my friend's mother's house is very much like the one above,k but it is pink. It always seems kind of bizarre to me.

I only remember as far back as avocado.
I still have an avocado dryer. It was my mother's, and she got it in the early 70s. It's a Kenmore, and is still going strong.

So did I, sassy. A 1954 Chevy Bel-Aire. I've got a picture somewhere.

Green with envy whenever I thought about my neighbor's wife.
Those lovely vintage deco mint green salt and pepper shakers from the 30s are collector's items now. They might have belonged to someone's grandmother.
Those horrid avocado and gold appliances are a remnant of the ugly 70s and thank goodness are long gone.

There was also the "copper". I don't know how they got away with copper, when it's clearly brown!

When was orange shag carpeting popular? That was the 70's, wasn't it? Or shag carpeting in general?

I really don't, I was still young in the 50's and my parents didn't have anything in mint green. I do love that color for clothing now though. Ooooh that is a pretty car Radish Rose posted.

My Grandma had mint green wicker furniture on her porch. In1972 when we bought our first house it had copper color appliances which we then replaced with avocado green and we had shag carpets.

When I was pregnant, minted chocolate chip ice cream tasted like heaven.
