    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    That looks just great. On behalf of that old car, thanks for giving her back her dignity. -Dave

    What do you use to shave?

    Funny, I have the exact same razor. The second quarter of '63 must've been a prolific one for Gilette. -Dave

    Sketch of my grandfather made in 1945.

    Alas, my scanner died before I got any close-ups from that era scanned. This is all I've got at the moment: It is an excellent likeness, though. -Dave

    White Bucs, Dirty Bucs, Saddle Shoes, and Spectators: Oh My!

    I would like a versatile summer shoe, but my head is spinning with options: white bucs, dirty bucs, saddle shoes, and spectators. I’d love to know what others are wearing, the historical connotations of each shoe, and why. I had a pair of Nunn Bush brown/brown saddle shoes that I loved...

    Sketch of my grandfather made in 1945.

    In April of 1945, my grandfather was in the hospital in Germany. A USO artist, apparently named Mimi Forach, came by and sketched him. This was the result: The original is on heavy, yellowish cardstock and the 9th Air Force patch is in color. I haven’t got a proper scanner at the...

    The Hardy Boys: Secret of the Old Mill

    I can’t wait! I have a reprint of the 1920s Tower Treasure, and it whetted my appetite for the early books years ago. I hate to say it, but those haven’t been the “modern” Hardy Boys books since the 1980s. The franchise has been updated at least twice since then. I tend to think of the...

    The Hardy Boys: Secret of the Old Mill

    A bump in case the board has picked up any collectors of vintage youth fiction. And I’m thinking seriously about writing a short story involving rockets in the ‘20s now. -Dave

    Britain building new steam locomotives

    Don’t forget the Michigan Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso, caretakers of the famed Pere Marquette 1225. -Dave

    Instant nausea inducement

    Alas, it is not. Michigan’s only traditional, regional beer (to my knowledge) is Stroh’s, and when I drink that it’s almost exclusively a nod to tradition, as I’m not that fond of it - especially in bottles. It’s still better than Bud Light, though. -Dave

    Instant nausea inducement

    I drink Pabst out of a sense of nostalgia and because I like the taste. What does that mean? -Dave

    1949 Buying Men's Suits

    Hmm, when I clicked on the link, I couldn't get past the first page. The scroll bars on the side were doing some kind of crazy dance so fast I couldn't click on them. Maybe just a problem with my browser? Edit: Nevermind, I got it to work. Second time's the charm, I guess. Thanks! -Dave

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    I wish I knew more about this car: It looks like a stock, lowered '37 Ford ragtop, but it's a Roy Brizio build, so I'm sure there's more to it. I know from other pictures on his website that it packs a supercharged flathead with twin carburetors, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if...

    Skyvue, that looks great. It's like a straw Fed IV! I am getting more and more convinced that next summer, a Sunbody is on the agenda. -Dave

    seersucker suits

    Taken in the spirit it was offered, I assure you. :) Besides, I was more concerned about the dark smudge that showed up on my lapel sometime during the day. On a freshly cleaned suit! Argh. -Dave

    seersucker suits

    I'm a man of means by no means. I do have a non-frayed blue shirt, but I was channeling preppy with the seersucker tie and the frayed collar, but perhaps I fell short. -Dave

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Rivets, maybe, but I steer clear of farm work if I can avoid it. I don't even garden. My only point was that it's easier to dress to fit your surroundings. So if, like me, you live in a farming community, you might be interested in overalls and work boots. Or if, like me, you work in a...
