    Boater faction!

    I noticed that. I managed to find it anyway, but it's a little rich for my blood. -Dave

    Boater faction!

    Another inexpensive option showed up in my inbox this morning, courtesy of J. Peterman. Hard to tell from the illustration if this is an historically accurate thick-and-stiff model, or one of the thinner types illustrated in the last couple pages. The price makes me think the latter. -Dave

    Bow tie neat or imperfect?

    It could also be what those of us who can't manage a perfect bow tell ourselves to feel better. But hey, thanks for taking that away! :( ;) -Dave

    Show us your Guns!

    That's too bad. Apparently the .22 my dad bought for me is the Marlin 39A, which has been around since 1937 in its current form - but apparently retails for around $570.00. A true Golden Era classic, it's the oldest shoulder arm in continuous production anywhere in the world according to...

    Destination Tokyo - 1932 style

    I saw this thread on Google and was hoping for a novel about Keystone bombers taking off from the USS Lexington. :/ Cool jacket, though! -Dave

    Show us your Guns!

    I can't speak for the Winchester pump, but when I was 11 or 12 my dad purchased a lever-action Marlin .22 that was supposed to be mine (Mom nixed it) and it is a great shooter. I doubt it meets the “inexpensive” criterion, though. -Dave

    Golden-Era Hot-Rodding

    Bourne ID put up his latest update on page 39 of the Driving Golden Era Cars thread. It seems things are moving slowly. A ‘50s Dodge or DeSoto Hemi would make a neat, period swap into Keller-era MoPar, too. -Dave

    I’m not sure exactly, all I know is that you have to get past LaBrea swamp, Crescent Pines, and Doheny. Wikipedia says it’s a stretch of Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California located near the Bel Air estates just north of UCLA's Drake Stadium. -Dave

    Great XKE. Just stay away from Dead Man's Curve! -Dave

    Interesting to hear the gripes about the Chevrolets. It makes me wonder if Tom and I, being younger, have a slanted view of these cars that are now 25 years or older. At this point, only the seasoned good ones have survived (If a bad car is a “Monday Morning” or “Friday Afternoon” car; what’s...

    Golden-Era Hot-Rodding

    No? A brass Ford with an overhead conversion? -Dave

    Tom, no sarcasm at all. The Country Squire and Colony Park are probably my favorite cars of the last 25 years. I'd love one with a healthy stroker, dual Flowmasters, and 17-inch Bullitt Mustang wheels (or maybe black steelies, skinny whites, and '52 hubcaps - like my Falcon). The fact...

    A Colony Park?! I'm so jealous. -Dave

    HELP!!!!! Homburg Troubles!!!

    TCMfan25, I have a 7 3/8 St. Regis I'd part with. It's been stretched to fit my 7 1/2 head and is stored with a hat jack inside. I don't really want to sell it, but I honestly don't wear it much, either. It appears you're too new for PMs. Shoot me an e-mail: williamd.Conwill "at"...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    I have vast amounts of respect for guys like you, Justin B. I can spray paint okay, but I have zero metalworking skill. I keep promising myself once the kids grow up a bit more (not that I'm in a rush for that), I'll treat myself to a couple community college courses in body work and...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    That is the trade off. Low buy-in for high parts cost. That's why I drive a Ford Falcon and not a Willys Aero. -Dave

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    At least when you'll find it, it should be fairly affordable. Prewar MoPars (pre-muscle, really) don't have the following of their counterparts from Ford and GM. -Dave

    Seersucker Suit Question

    I'm not sure on that point, but unless UK gas-mask bags were stamped "US" and bore our Chemical Corps insignia, his will still be pretty distinct (like this but faded to tan). And an Englishman in tweeds is definitely a traditional cultural icon. I probably would not have picked up on the...

    Seersucker Suit Question

    I think the fact that it was somewhat out of place would be the exact reason I would choose it. I don’t mind people picking me out as an American and a Midwesterner. It’s certainly better than a hooded sweatshirt that says “USA” on it. I was very proud that my younger brother took his WWII...

    Golden-Era Hot-Rodding

    Or a slightly later model (but still with the four cylinder)? -Dave
