    TA DA!

    "Gold Diggers of 1933" has become one of my very favorite movies. Joan Blondell did sing the beginning of "Remember My Forgotten Man," but the lady who took over was the great Etta Moten, who passed away in 2004 at the age of 102. Here is her IMDB page: http://us.imdb.com/name/nm0609323/...

    Not since they put that chicane on the Mulsanne Straight. ;)

    Vintage Phones

    I think most telephone companies can still handle "pulse" dialing. They use digital switches rather than the old step-by-step, but they're otherwise pretty low-tech. Most of them still use gigantic lead-acid batteries to provide the 48VDC that powers the phone lines. That's why your phone...

    Plymouth's as Daily Drivers?

    Here's the eBay auction (it has ended) for that 1938 Plymouth. I see no evidence of fire, but I suspect that the window damage was due to that other "element" of classical science, water. Maybe some earth and air, too. :)...

    Hem alterations?

    Whew, I was afraid somebody had done something to Hemingway Jones! lol

    Vintage Phones

    That wall phone is actually based on a ringer box with the addition of a dial, transmitter and hook switch. If you look at it and a ringer box side by side you'll see the many similarities. Clever bit of design work on Western Electric's part, eh?

    Plymouth's as Daily Drivers?

    Some may say that the 1938 Plymouth has a face only a mother could love, and it's true that they didn't sell as well as the '37, but who am I to argue with "Mad Dog" Earle, Philip Marlowe and Walter Neff? This is a pic from an eBay auction. Wish I had the dough...

    Rum Treatment

    I've actually heard of doctors using Everclear on patients who ingested glycol or methanol, so it's not that unusual. It's a fine story of a doctor sacrificing his liquor cabinet to save a patient, though.

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    I just got a cheap webcam, and have been making faces at myself. I look so gruff and jowly, I remind myself of Broderick Crawford. Ten Four!

    What makes a proper haberdashery?

    The smell has to be right, too. I can't describe it, but those who know know what I mean.

    L.A. Confidential Star James Cromwell sat in my 1941 Buick!

    And you know he won't drop any cheeseburger wrappers on the upholstery! :)

    Great flying with Spitfire

    I love that clip. Of course, Alain de Cadenet is no stranger to horsepower, having driven at Le Mans.

    AMAZING Vintage Photos of Fedoras

    TCM showed a silent film from 1909 called "His Last Game" and one of the main characters wore a hat with a Montana crease, only the crease was rotated 45 degrees. You really see some interesting stuff in those old pictures and movies.

    New Bedroom!

    I absolutely love that wood inlay. What beautiful stuff!

    60s stingy brims

    Good to see you back, Kevin! When I see those tweed fedoras, I always think of Rex Harrison or Terry-Thomas. Not my cup o' tea, but they work for some fellows like the aforementioned.

    Bristol Brabazon?

    The good news is, all their back issues are available in .pdf format on CD-ROM. http://www.airwingmedia.com/ Of course, I had just paid for a year's subscription right before they went belly-up. :rage:
