I guess I might be in need of a new moniker for TFL.
The new car is most assuredly not a Studebaker.
If anyone is looking for a few good 'teens and 'twenties cars, I have a few for sale.
In the very late 1970s, I moved out of my parents' house and into my own little cracker box of a place. Built in 1915 as a water supply tank house (serving a long-gone ranch house), it had been added onto to create an odd assembly of a lean-to with a couple of stubby gable additions huddled in...
So, it's been a year and my "cooking as therapy" has been on hold through the summer months. The house just gets too ungodly hot to even THINK about cooking on the wood burning kitchen range.
But - it is now December and the temperatures make the stove a really attractive proposition!
For some...
Proving that I can resist anything but temptation, after reading this thread I was driven to research the Bushman, where I saw this photo
Well, I had to have one.
So...
Well, silly me! All I had to do was Google "walking toaster" to find them! It is a Toast-O-Lator by Crocker Wheeler. 1940s vintage. There are even You Tube videos of the thing. Ha.
I have an old toaster given to me by an elderly relative (dead 35 years) and I've never seen one like it. It has a motor in it, powering a sort of conveyor. The bread is inserted in a slot at one end (not the top) of the toaster and this conveyor alternately lifts, moves forward a fraction of...
I'd like to make 2018 the year I finally get the kitchen at least partially "done". The house was built in 1911 and the bones are good. The counter height is great (39"), the sink is fine (installed 1938), but there is little in the way of blank wall space. Finding room for the fridge (GE...
Clayton used to post often on the MTFCA website, but I haven't seen evidence of him lately. His '27 is just the best thing since fried eggs. And I like it that he mixes and matches, his starting crank, his headlights, his steering column w/spark and throttle. That is a happy, happy car. Many...

it's a great car built by a talented young guy and it has a great story.
I think we can bend the rules a little and claim cars are appliances - I have at least one book on the subject that deleteriously describes American cars using that very word. Studebakers really were good machines (appliances) and the company sure deserved a better fate. The name I suspect...
