Booker L,
This thread is destined to live in a time capsule of the past, like the hula hoop, the Edsel and the Yugo, the Knack, the Internet Cafe, Disco Music, Eight Track Tapes, Toga Parties, Ouija Boards, and Pac Man. All the things I mentioned have not been resurrected because they deserve to stay in the past. So does this thread.
Ask the Mods to pull the plug on this thread and start a new thread. This thread will always live on in the 2014 archives. Like the hula hoop does in the 1958 archives and the 1938 Chevy Coupe with Rumbleseat in the 1938 archives. Your Grandpa probably rode in a rumbleseat back in the day, and you will probably need to talk to him about it if you want to know what it was like. My father, as a young boy, rode in a 1937 Chevy Coupe Rumbleseat but 1938 was last year for Chevy/GM vehicles and 1939 for Ford vehicles. Cars were not manufactured in the USA during World War II, so the rumble seat actually did live on for a while after the war years, as those older models slowly faded away and off our roads.
As you know, history becomes history much faster in the escort world. Most escort agencies, not all but most, have a very productive span of about 3 or 4 years at most, much like a baseball player having his peak years at around 27-30. We see this history in your poll, with some agencies that no longer exist, and at least 2 successor agencies that could make the new list.
