    Manginot Line. ;)

    Well, if we're going to get into motorcycles, I've always fancied an Ironhead Sportster occupying a no-rake/no-stretch hardtail frame and wearing Loewy-designed 1941 WL tin:

    Looks like a '51 Ford with a '54 Chevy grille. Pretty neat!

    Better picture of (almost) the same thing. I love this shot, but it would be better with three little girls in the back seat.

    Vintage Man Caves

    I kinda dislike the term “man cave”, but I’m glad I clicked the link. Those are gorgeous offices and studies. I wonder if they’d let me re-decorate my office at work...

    Actually, postwar didn't Volkswagen actually give credit for those people who had paid ahead on their cars? I thought I read that somewhere.

    1955 DeSoto Firedome?

    I think that may be backward. In ‘55 Fireflite was the top line and Firedome was the entry-level DeSoto: Windsor to Fireflite’s New Yorker.

    1955 DeSoto Firedome?

    Tom McCahill loved the '55 Chrysler line. So much so, he bought a '55 Dodge wagon for his own personal use. I love the styling, and there's a lot of interest in the early Hemis at the moment. DeSoto's came out in '52, incidentally. Couple that renewed interest with the internet and parts and...

    How fantastic can I be? Because I’d love to see every city connected by these: And easily travelled by these: That way I could have one of these exclusively for pleasure driving: Realistically, I’m hoping to someday upgrade to one of these: And use it to occasionally haul one of...

    Bow Ties

    Heck, that's good enough reason to do it. Although I tend to think of short-sleeve shirts with skinny ties.

    Is there something you really want to wear but are chicken?

    Well, I guess I got over that! Just had to find the right frames.

    I think this is more of a complaint with small (or perhaps non-ABS) brakes rather than drum brakes. The 9-inch brakes on my Falcon aren't the greatest, but the larger (11-inch? Memory fails me) drums on my Camaro stop it just fine. Now brake fade is scary as heck and are a great argument...

    It's funny, reviews seem to be about evenly split between exactly what you're saying (he was gruff, or he ignored the customer entirely) and reports saying the owner is very friendly and helpful. Maybe he's moody??

    I think it’s no secret I like a good hot rod, but I don’t think I’m being biased when I say that the hot rodder’s interest in vintage Fords have been a boon to the restoration scene for those cars as well. Hot rodders drive interest in the original cars because of their speed image; hot rodders...

    Pontiac, maybe, but I can’t the good, solid Yankee I envision to be Ms. Lizzie in a Cadillac. She needs an honest, unpretentious, quality middle- or popular-priced make: Ford, Plymouth, Dodge, Nash, Hudson, Studebaker...something like that. I stand by the assertion I made a while back that Ms...

    There's also the Goldenrod Garage in Maine - but I don't know how far you are from Freeport.

    I could be wrong, but I believe the Nash flathead six survived as the standard Rambler engine into the mid-1960s, which would be a point in its favor. I also believe '38 predates unit construction on the Ambassador, which would make rust and damage repair easier.

    I think some woodie wagons had strapped windows into the mid-1930s.

    Show us your Guns!

    And you know it was done right! Or if it wasn't, that you'll get a warranty repair out of the builder with no questions asked. :lol:
