    Good Eats-Show Us Your Vintage Diners

    How odd! I'd never heard of the Modern Diner until this morning when it showed up on my Instagram feed--now here it is on TFL. Up here in Bennington we have The Blue Benn, which has been here since 1948. There are a couple other places within striking distance that I've been intending to try...

    Removing Sherpa lining

    I've heard of fellows trimming down the sheepskin collars on flight jackets. Perhaps that's a route you could take to minimize the fuzz without compromising the vest entirely?

    1962 Ford Falcon - $8000 obo

    Can't be yours, this one was originally Viking Blue! ;) (Photo from before the previous owner disassembled her.)

    1962 Ford Falcon - $8000 obo

    CAR IS SOLD -- THANKS FOR LOOKING! This is the ultimate daily driver Falcon. We purchased it as a basket case (see last photo) and had it put back together with modifications to retain its character as a Ford Falcon but dramatically improve its suitability for modern roads. Engine: The...

    The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

    My understanding from the context is that this is an original. It was posted here by Jason Schott.

    The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

    According to Schott that's one of their contract-produced Beck Northeasterner 333's that was structurally identical to the original 1928 Perfecto. So it's a prewar jacket, but wasn't labled as Schott or Perfecto.

    The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

    Naturally, after I post this, I find a photo of the supposed original 1928 Perfecto. I'm not sure how much I like the D pocket, but it's nice to have a frame of reference. It would still be neat to see a period photo of one "in the wild" before the war.

    The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

    One thing I've always wondered is how far back this jacket design goes. The film is from 1953 and it was inspired by events in 1947, but I don't recall seeing any "Brando jackets" in photos of the Hollister Riot. Anybody know? Was it available before World War II?

    Huh, I had always thought of that as a gear!

    John Landis/Corporal Mizerany in 1941 (1979)

    Right, hence the part of the title that says "...in 1941 (1979)" ;)

    Barbara Hutton is somewhat remembered by car folk today--as the mother of Lance Reventlow.

    Aero Leather's P. Goldsmith AC 31-1897 (The First Type A-2)

    Astounding! How I wish I could justify an A-1 or A-2, a B-2 or B-3, or even a Jungle Cloth 37J1. I can't, though, so I'll just drool and be glad somebody is buying these things so I can appreciate their existence.

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    It's going to be 91 and humid here the next couple days, but we keep getting teases of fall. I'm just trying to enjoy each day for what it is.

    RIP Land Rover Defender

    It's an AC car equipped with a Bristol engine. The AC Ace, better known to most as the car that spawned the Shelby Cobra, was available with a factory-installed Bristol engine starting around 1956. In fact, it was the discontinuation of the Bristol engine in 1961 that led to AC looking for other...

    John Landis/Corporal Mizerany in 1941 (1979)

    Given the time period in which it is set, I'm hoping someone here may have some familiarity with this film (widely panned, but one that I enjoy--blame my dad). Does anyone have any clearer screen caps of John Landis's cameo as "Corporal Mizerany," the motorcycle courier? I'm trying to get a...
