I'm only 19, and am still finding it very difficult to get started with anything in this industry! Hopefully in a couple of years you'll hear different from me.

37...and just began visiting this site again after a year or so off it. It seems to have grown considerably. And, yes, middle aged, but just beginning a new career in video with a few shorts and one feature under my belt.

hi everyone. i have the mental age of an embryo but unfortunately the years have switched to fast forward, and before i new it 1967 was a long time ago. but having the mental age of a chunk of DNA i can't count so my age must be 21. i think?

Hmm...

I'm Model Year 1967, too.

Makes us...38, I think.

Naw, that can't be right.

48 here. It’s not so bad really. It seems I’m now allowed to have unscheduled bouts of flatulence in public, wear clothing from the seventies, say really stupid things and of course embarrass my children with all the above.

Ive been into film since as early as I can remember, but I only started doing it about a year ago. Im 18 now, but I sorta wish I started earlier - Spielberg made his first (home) feature at 16, and Rodriguez had made about 30 short films by my age...so I think I really need to get started!

I am 30 ad my wife is 28 the rest of our company are in their early 20's so that forces both of us to stay abreast of the things we said we would never hate but do!

The Chevy Belair wasn't the only great thing made in 1955...50 years old here (a couple of months from 51) and love my video toys. But I'm not too old to learn a bunch of good stuff from you young'uns! So did anyone calculate the average age here? Must be about 30 or so...

Now, this is being very picky and I might even be wrong about it, but I seem to remember that the Chev Belair wasn't introduced until 1956. They brought out their new, modern look and their first V-8 in 1955, but I don't recall a Belair among the model names. That extraordinary Nomad wagon got its start in 1955, however.

For those of us from this era, these fine points of trivia are of the utmost importance. After all, what else did we have to discuss? There were no camcorders, no computers or video games, no portable music or phones and free love hadn't been invented yet. I challenge anyone under the age of 40 to tell how you distinguish a '55 Chev V-8 from a 6-cylinder model (without looking under the hood).

All I remember about the Belair is my sisters teasing my older brother about his "station wagon" and him saying it had a great compartment for concealing a cooler full of beer. :)

No, Steve, you weren't being picky about it, but you were wrong. Chev introduced the '55 Bel Air in '54 with the V8, fins, hooded headlights and everything. They did shorten it for '57, which made the fins stand out even more.
Now, how DO you tell a '55 Chev V8 from the 6 without lifting the hood?

Thanks for the jeans, Mum.

OK, I am corrected about the year of the first Belair. The '55 V-8s were distinguished from the 6s, by two very small, chrome Vs, right below the taillights. They had the same Chev brand badge in the centers of the trunk and engine hoods, on both V-8s and 6s. Beginning in '56, this badge was used only on the 6s, with large, chrome Vs on both hoods, on the V8s. Classify this as information as close to being useless as is possible-----on a par with knowing how to tell a '58 T-Bird from a '59, without looking underneath at the springs.

I was sailing last July and ended up in Boston for my 20th birthday. Yes it was absolutely the worst birthday ever becuse your (im referring to you americans) country says im too young to drink a beer.. when i used to be in quebec i turned legal age 2 years before when i was 18.. i was very dissapointed..and had to spend my birthday drinking in the bar on my ship that i had been stuck in fo the past month.. but to make up for it 10 days later we were in st. john's, newfoundland on george street which has the most bars per capita than any other city in the world. George street ... bar after bar after bar after bar after bar..etc...
come to canada.. see the sites... and george street

Some research might help: Try singing "You make me feel so old, etc" Note their reactions. Then try "I make you feel so young" and compare reactions.

But then perhaps you're not old enough to have heard Dean or Frank or Bing singing at all. Silly me, sure they're probably not old enough either.

I thought I was 58 my last birthday. My wife said I was 59. She's right. Come to think of it, 57 seemed to last a couple of years.
