The clothes in this one are giving me some serious flashbacks. I think there is still photographic evidence of my red plaid pants. Must remember to deal with that...

Police officers on vespas?  8)

As for the plaid pants, I'm starting to think that they were mandatory during the 1970's!
Anybody remembers the plaid leisure suits that used car salesmen loved so much?

A lot of the shots looked like stills from TV series like "Kojak", "Sparkplug and Clutch" and "Columbo"...

Mind you, we had some serious wardrobe issues this side of the pond. David Bowie and Bay City Roler induced fashion statements all the rage in the early - mid seventies. Scary....... :o
