    What ever happened to station wagons?

    Isn't that a Magnum? They were discontinued in 2008.

    1950s British suits

    No need to apologize, I appreciate the education.

    1950s British suits

    Interesting! Do you have any examples?

    What ever happened to station wagons?

    I wish the full-size 8- or 9-passenger rear-drive wagon would make a comeback. With three kids in modern car seats, that's the only way my wife will ever give up her 2003 Yukon XL. She was on the verge of buying a Dodge Magnum, but when the third came along we realized it would be too tight...

    1950s British suits

    The low gorge with such wide lapels seems an odd combination. Do you think there's a missing waistcoat?

    Local Defence Volunteers (Home Guard)

    Have you read KilroyCD's thread on his Homefront Commandos group? They're an American group, of course, but he may have some knowledge about folks doing LDV.

    Your First Fedora

    First wool was a Broner handed down from my dad when I was in elementary school (probably 4th or 5th grade); first fur felt in my size was the Akubra Federation IV in Moonstone Gray I bought from FL recommendations.

    What gives you that vintage feeling?

    Downtown Detroit. Especially at night.

    Bic pens "for her"

    I have a friend that paints his tools pink for exactly that reason. It is frustrating to watch television and be continually bombarded with the egotistical, incompetent male figure being bailed out by the savvy kids/wife/dog - especially in advertising. The only place you find a strong male...

    Bic pens "for her"

    Wow, scathing. I guess it's not ok to be feminine or like feminine things anymore - equality is all about how much like a man you can be. I wonder what those reviewers would have thought of the 1955-56 Dodge LaFemme??

    I suspect those are the parts you end up reproducing, rather than hunting down.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Well, after monkeying around all summer, the '62 is back on four wheels and wearing disc brakes: Still trying to figure out the anti-rattle clips. *Anyone have an '89 Cavalier shop manual laying around?

    The Penske Trans Am Camaros ran vinyl tops to his the wrinkling of the thin, acid-dipped sheet metal.

    Golden Era Passtimes / Hobbies

    There are those who argue that it's better for society as well. It's much easier to be selfish and cease caring about your community when Bowling Alone.

    My 60th B- day

    I do drink, but I think it would be great to visit a dry town. It seems it would have a whole different dynamic than one that was loaded to the gills with drinking establishments and liquor stores.

    Golden-Era Hot-Rodding

    I just came back to make that correction. The original poster is from Sussex, England and on my cracked iPhone screen, I somehow turned that into "Sweden" and missed the England part entirely. Oh well. The British are second only to the Norse in their ability to recreate excellent period hot...

    I thought when hippie style went mainstream that was called the Peacock Revolution. Peacock Top?

    My 60th B- day

    Mackinac Island is fun, and by late September things are getting quieter (and cheaper) up there again.

    Golden-Era Hot-Rodding

    The fellow who posted the Swedish “A” above just supplied some more details: A four-inch drop axle isn’t exactly typical of the period (in the era, a two-inch was far more common without the axle being put through some serious agony) but it sure does look good. Seventeen-inch wires...
