    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Haha! I used to have quite the repertoire of Tin Lizzie jokes, but people didn't appreciate them so I've started to forget.

    What do you use to shave?

    I'm strictly a lard man.

    What do you use to shave?

    Better than what I think whenever I read the title of this thread: "Broken glass."

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    With apologies to Will Shakespeare: "A Smart Car driver dies of embarrassment a thousand times before his death, but the drivers of classics taste of death but once."

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Sounds like a Henry Gregor Felsen novel.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Sorry folks, 1953 was the last year for a good-looking Cadillac, Roadmaster, or Olds 98.

    This followed me home today. No plans to hot rod in particular, just to clean up, repair, and drive while my Falcons are laid up.

    Tom, too bad you couldn't salvage the chassis and stick it under something like this '70 Dodge D200. That would make a neat hauler. Frankly, if that truck were driving, I'd probably own it by now. I really love those '60s and '70s Dodges.

    Typewriters

    That is a beautiful red hue. Or at least a beautiful photograph.

    Example of a cozy 1928 Bungalow interior

    I'll take it! Seriously, I have a dream of someday building a new bungalow on a lake somewhere in northern Michigan.

    1940's pork pie hat

    I'm fond of the one Fred MacMurray wears in Son of Flubber. That's probably an early '60s hat creased to resemble a '20s hat, though when you average them, that ends up '40s. ;)

    Destination Tokyo - 1932 style

    I just stumbled across this one without the stencil. Kinda cool, but almost seven times the price I'd consider paying for something I might actually wear. Cool jacket, though.

    Gentlemen's Lodges/Groups in the Golden Era?

    The social function of the lodges was one thing, but many also operated like this as mutual aid societies and / or life insurance. Ever seen a grave marker shaped like a dead tree? That guy was a member of the Woodmen of the World and his dues went to pay for his funeral expenses. With...

    Plus-Four/Knickerbocker - elastic, knit, button or buckle?

    "The moment your son leaves the house, Does he rebuckle his knickerbockers below the knee?" If I were having a pair made, that's what I would request. Seems like you'd have better control than with elastic, and I have terrible luck with buttons pulling off.

    Very reasonably price motorcycle sweaters!

    Where can I get one of these?

    Favorite Uniforms

    I’m very fond of a Civil War frock coat worn with gauntlets and a forage cap - particularly in Federal blue. Also U.S. Cavalry uniforms of the Punitive Expedition era (really anything with khaki breaches and an M1911 campaign hat). My grandfather was married in pinks-and-greens and a crusher...

    I finally figured out what this reminds me of - a Morgan Plus 8.

    Show us your SHOES !!!

    I think a properly mended garment is not only fully acceptable but looks a bit "salty"; showing that you aren't new to good taste and quality, and not so frivolous to throw out what might be repaired. I'd be more hesitant to wear something obviously brand new than something worn in.

    Chinese "Junk"

    Young Doc: No wonder this circuit failed. It says "Made in Japan". Marty McFly: What do you mean, Doc? All the best stuff is made in Japan. Young Doc: Unbelievable.

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    I always thought the helicopters were an almost Dieselpunk aspect of that film. The whole thing is trippy and weird (that's Alistair MacLean for you), but enjoyable nonetheless. It would be interesting to see a remake emphasizing and adding to the creatively anachronistic aspects of the film.
