shovelheadVIN’s from cars and motorcycles I owned in the 60’s and 70’s. License plate numbers from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Phone numbers of friends in my teen and early twenties years.
Part numbers from my dealership days going back to the 70’s. I can still recite the part numbers for the main parts of a timing chain and gear replacement for V8 Pontiac from 1971. The four character key code together with the corresponding lock tumbler numbers to code new blank auto door trunk and ignition lock sets. (I used to use the same one as in the 70’s and 80’s it was pretty common to change the locks on some used cars by subsequent purchasers, for example Corvettes, Z-28’s GTO’s, etc, came in handy when the customer came back six months later with a lost key request!)
There’s more too, this is a start.

arfmelWIndsor6-2820 was my grandparents’ phone number when I was a little kid back in the early 1960s. My mom helped me memorize it in case I got lost.

Close family phone numbers

What number do you memorize?
My info, my wife's info, lots of scientific numbers and my aunt's home phone number whom we used to visit in Saginaw, Michigan, when the city had hand pumps for city water on the street corners...likely around 1944.
