    Show us your vintage home!

    I drove past the house where I grew up today, and was disappointed with what I saw. When we bought the house, in 1995, we quickly turned it around. It was falling apart when we bought it. The slate siding was falling off, the windows were mostly original and broken, the bathroom was sinking...

    The coachbuilders aren't happy, I know that! I never needed that much room, myself. I always had a wagon that provided me with all the space I needed. I'm not sure what you're up to lol Thanks, too, on the lights. I didn't wanna overdo it!

    Oh, I know. The coach builders loved Fleetwoods and Town Cars. What on earth would you do with a stretch limo? I wouldn't even buy one for 800 bucks. I have no idea who I'd sell it to, unless it were mint. Anywho, got the Christmas lights put up at the shop yesterday.

    No, not a funeral car! Belonged to an elderly gentleman nearby, got it from the estate. Funeral cars are usually limos, with a couple standard cars, maybe to lead the procession. My hood is off a stretch limo, though, had to have it painted from black to dark cherry metallic.

    What Does The FL Think of So-called Black Friday?

    I worked in retail when I was in High School. It's no fun on that end of it, either!

    Old gas stations

    We have one traditional filling station, here. They do service, tires, and have full-serve pumps.

    Hat prices hurting hat comeback?

    I think the price is hindering it, absolutely, also availability. A lot of people don't wish to buy a hat online. They want to go to a store, try one on, buy it, and take it home. Sadly, the majority of hats that are affordable and in stores, are cheap stingy brim fedoras, and that's why you...

    If you went back to the Golden Era, what would you notice first?

    Well, if I was in the exact location I'm in now, in 1940, I would be outside. I'd be about 40 feet from a farm house (the foundation and remains still stand just outside our current house). There would be no other houses for a couple miles. The road would be dirt. If I went to town, downtown...

    No, but I do care about status. Why show up in any old car when I can arrive in a Cadillac? Mine is almost completely stock, sans some Cadillac emblems on the tail lights, off the previous gen Broughams. She's stock, even down to the radio.

    Old gas stations

    We own an old Sinclair, built in 1951. I will get some pics up. I have a couple globes, lubesters, and gas pumps out there right now.

    I think you think it's okay for you to have them, but it's grounds for mockery if anyone else does. There are plenty in the younger set that enjoy the classic lux rides. I suggest you check out 'The Brougham Society' on Facebook.
