    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    It was such a beautiful day today I decided to give the old Plymouth a much needed wax job. Now, to hit the road and do some driving.

    Thanks. The floor in the "front room" (a term that this room has always been called) is the original floor with the original finish from when the house was built in 1907. I'm sure it has darkened with age, but it has never been refinished, at least not since 1917 when the family bought the...

    We're finishing up with the Christmas decorations in the "front room" of the old house.

    It's a bit cold out this morning with a nice frost. Looks like I'll be testing out the defroster on the old Plymouth.

    The Sunday Drive

    Ok, so my attempt to post a video didn't work out. Here is a photo of today's drive that captures the spirit of what I was going for with the video.

    The Sunday Drive

    First time posting a video file with the new Lounge software format, so we'll see how it works. Although it's not Sunday, we did take a little excursion after going to breakfast with the family to celebrate my grandson's birthday. There is a State Park near the house where I like to visit...

    How many years have you been lurking around the lounge??

    June, 2005 for me. Hard to believe it's been that long ago.

    My youngest granddaughter lost her first tooth the other day. She was really proud.

    We all got together yesterday evening on the occasion of my youngest grandson's first birthday. It's hard to get all the grandchildren together at the same time (and to get them to sit still for a photo when they do).

    I see she's carrying the gun. I assume that's to keep you in line. :)

    This is my first attempt to post a photo to the Lounge in its new format. Let's see if I can do it without messing up too much. Here's my old homeplace on a beautiful Fall day (yesterday).

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    When I was in high school (1970-1974), I drove a school bus. It was a 1952 Dodge bus with vacuum wipers. Pulling a hill always stopped the wipers from working. I remember that all too well. Tracing out the vacuum line and checking for any leaks is something I haven't done. Thanks for...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Anyone have any recommendations on how to speed up an old vacuum wiper? The wipers on my old '48 Plymouth used to be as slow as molasses on a cold day, but recently just quit working all together. I tried oiling the inside of the vacuum motor by pulling the vacuum line and giving it a shot of...

    Moose River Hat

    I thought I'd give a bit of a "review" on my L.L. Bean Moose River hat. I've had the hat now for a little over a year. Like I originally intended, I've used the hat as an outdoors hiking/adventure kind of hat. It's seen some good use on the trails across the mountains of Western NC this past...

    I would guess my Dad had many "close calls" in his early driving days (as did I). I know the area well where this incident occurred. At "the point" the lake bank drops off ever so gradually to the water. If the lake was down at all, then the car probably mired up in the mud before it actually...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    I heard an interesting story about my Dad today that I'd never heard before. When my Dad (1924-2008) was in high school, he drove a '42 Plymouth. That Plymouth, which is almost identical to my '48 Plymouth, had a throttle lock on the dash (see the photo). According to what I was told...

    Looks like you are making good progress on the project. I'll be glad to see the finished product (as I'm sure you will be, too).
