Let's fly to Disneyland on July 1st 1974. Flying from Oakland (OAK) to Santa Ana (SNA) on Air California which had a seriously cool logo, so cool they had it emblazed on the tail section of their planes (Link). Do airline tickets even come in these cool jackets anymore?
The Camaro is tempting, but being 1974 I'll take the Monte Carlo. Looks like our family was interested in Rite Way rental, Google AI has never heard of them but gives a reasonable explanation: "There is no information available about a company specifically named "Rite Way Car Rental" in 1974. It is possible that "Rite Way Car Rental" was a smaller, regional car rental company not mentioned in broader historical summaries of the industry in 1974." - Erased from existence...
I loved the red carbon paper the old airlines tickets used, dare I call it "iconic"
The Fantasy Motor Inn appears to be gone, the Castle Inn & Suites stands there now. Here's how it used to look (Postcard link from MiceChat) $20.75 is equivalent to about $125 today so that seems about right. The motels cash register thinks its 1973. What's the note about the Fun bus mean?
$54.72 to fly 3 people, round-trip Oakland to Santa Ana. Interesting breakdown of the taxes, then each ticket with the tax added then totaled. Old school cross-checking!
