Vince usually has his hair cut and groomed to a flat-top style...Back in the 1950s and early 1960s, the flat-top look was a very popular hairstyle worn by young and middle age males.

Vince is 2nd in the birth order with the ages of his siblings and him as of August 1st, 1960;
Lisa...age 14
Vince...age 11
Lester...age 8
Dora...age 7
Sheila...age 6

The Tote Gote mini-bike is shared by Vince and his siblings.

The family lives in New Mexico, off of Highway 258 several miles north of Encino.

I've seen enough films about early space flight too confirm the hair style... Gene Kranz had one!

What a coincidence...That would put your dad being age 11 in 1960. That's also the same age I depicted Vince Opossum being in 1960.

I was age 6 in 1960. Before ever giving it any thought, I depicted Donna Coyote being age 6 in 1960, in the story Clarence Coyote and Project Courier.

@ moyomongoose

Yeah, he'd have been 11 for a few months by then. Very different world for him, Palmerston North, Manawatu New Zealand for him.
