    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Clay Smith cams was first with "Mr. Horsepower", but Thrush is most common.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Sheesh, they're coming out of the woodwork now that I'm no longer in the market. I just had a very tempting offer on an '80 Volvo 240 too.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Somehow I lost track of this thread. I like that Dart, although I have a preference for the Valiants.

    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    I've always felt the difference between a woman and a lady is the same as the difference between a man and a gentleman - some maturity and decorum more than age.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    If you hit the lotto between now and then, I'm not picky - any Chevy convertible from '49 to '54 will do just fine.

    Boater faction!

    I'm quite certain nobody at Walmart is permitted to question the appearance of anyone else.

    Golden-Era Hot-Rodding

    The car is a '26 or '27 Ford built in an early Depression style - anybody have a guess as to the year of the photo based on the guy's clothes?

    Poletown was a Detroit neighborhood on the Hamtramck city line where the original Dodge Brothers factory stood. The GM plant is still in operation (they build the Chevy Volt there now). Google will reveal the whole sordid tale. Suffice it to say that the jobs provided do nothing to balance the...

    Hudson's is still a sore spot with Detroiters - especially since nothing was ever done with the site. An underground parking garage was built and a building could be erected atop it, but nothing ever was and almost 30 years on there is still no prospect, even though the neighborhood is in the...

    There has been lots of demolition in Detroit, although the focus seems to be mostly on vintage commercial buildings (most famously, Hudsons, but more recently the Lafayette Building and the Hotel Charlevoix) rather than blighted housing. Recently, however, there was a major effort to remove the...

    Late to the Party, McMansion or not, your interior has a wonderful vintage flavor! Thanks for sharing.

    A Blank Canvas

    I agree that if you can't embrace the atomic then you ought to be thinking Hollywood Spanish Colonial Revival - sort of a cross between art deco and mission.

    Gosh how I want a pencil-barrel S&W - preferably a .38 Special.

    Here are a couple from Bay City that I'd love to own, from my "Shop Love" board on Pinterest 1920s Chevrolet Dealership - 10,000 square feet on each floor with a car elevator! Porcelain Gas Station - this one wouldn't make a good home, but I was seriously stalking it for a while when it...

    If I were single and childless, I'd give it a shot. I like Detroit as a whole, but I can't say how good or bad any of the neighborhoods are. Check them out.
