I had hoped that amongst the readers on this web site that there might be some people with more direct insight to this monumental piece of history that occurred in 1979. Most of the displaced auto workers were proud GIs coming home from putting their lives on the line in Viet Nam. (With a fair ammount of PT owners being around 50, we were about 20 years old at the time...Draft Age!)
Since this area of the website is titled N0N-PT discussions I was not expecting to puff up the latest hot rod gadget. I wanted to find some real, first hand experiences of how it was to survive the gas lines and rampant unemployment in the Detroit area in the 70s(other areas were hurting at that time also) and how it fealt to find that this country really did care if one piece dropped off the end of the earth.
