affluent, probably what would be considered lower middle class. A new car
meant a " new to our family"  used car.  Socially, you dressed up to go out.
The pearls weren't real either :-)>

When I went to put on my pearls in rememberence of Edwina, the first thing I
reached for were my gram's pop-beads.  The pearls definitely weren't always
real.

When I look at my old Womanly Art, you know the blue copy, all the women
wear dresses, pearls (or some kind of pearl-looking necklace), an apron, and
their hair is done up.  It always brings a smile to my face.
