    Vintage Paper Ads

    While looking for instructions for my camera, I found this page: Vintage Paper Ads.com. I'm providing the home page. Give it a look. It covers everything from airlines to bicycles to corsets to pens to WWII & Military. I found ads ranging from the 1890s to the 2000s. Lee...

    Historic Hot Rod Club Revived! est. 1936, reborn 2007.

    I've never done this, but a friend from years back told me that he once unfroze an engine by removing the spark plugs and squirting transmission fluid into each cylinder. He then let it sit for a couple weeks, with another squirt every now and then to refresh the fluid. Occasionally, he'd take a...

    Classic Arcade and Video Games

    I may have mentioned this in another thread, but we bought an Atari Pong when it first came out. My younger brother still has it and it works. A couple years ago, he took it to an '80s-themed party as a prop to sit in the background. It turned into the life of the party, because...

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Here is the 500C that I found in a pawn shop. I got it out of repair on my way to work, yesterday, and spent every free moment wondering if I should call the camera shop to ask if I was doing something wrong, because it only worked with the film back removed. At the end of the day, I brought...

    It's ready. I got the call yesterday and will pick it up either on my way to work today or sometime Saturday. Then I can get to doing some shooting again. :) Anyone in the Los Angeles area up for a vintage photo safari? :) Lee

    Loungers' Pets

    Check Your Sweet Tooth at the Door. Little Miss Noname wandered all over, under and around my bed and bedroom, then tried to climb over everything on my desk. I didn't want to toss her out on her ear while I was on the computer, so I gently placed her in the nearest container. Success! Within...

    Loungers' Pets

    "Little Miss Noname" (get it?) is temporary, as my brother is currently seeking a home for her, and may have found one. (We already have several cats.) Just remember what Ogden Nash said in a (favorite) poem (of mine): The Kitten The trouble with a kitten is THAT Eventually it...

    California fires

    This is the San Diego branch of the company I work for, during the firestorm of 2003. The picture was taken at approximately noon. It is one block north of Miramar Marine base, and it's the only time I'd ever been there that I didn't hear F-14s and such flying overhead. Yesterday, the branch...

    Prepare to puke, FM. I've seen a couple of '30s Packards that were customized, and once saw that Boyd Coddinton was customizing a Cord 810. :cry: [bad] John. It's true about the Japanese car clubs and such. Not only are they strong in Japan, but I've heard of shows for hot rodded and...

    Beautiful car, WEEGEE! Gotta love those beautiful luxury liners. (They are not barges!) :) Regarding the low mileage on my Chrysler when I got it, I called them "original miles" to a man I met at a car show. He grinned and said, "As opposed to non-original miles?" :D Great story, Bill...

    My first vintage purchase

    That's beautiful, Dominic. Quite the viewfinder next to the lens, too. I've never seen one quite like that. I joined the site. There's a lot of information available. Thank you. Lee

    Another fine bunch of pets. And the gekkos are quite interesting and unique! :) Sorry, but I snapped this fun shot of my perpetually-sleeping 'Tilla about an hour ago. Lee ___________________ The drool bubble is new. :D
