    Gotta get me some, but "One Size Fits All" doesn't.

    before automatic transmissions

    My parents' 1961 Morris Minor 1000 still had the crank hole. Also, my Dad told a story about crank starting his friend's 1912 Rolls-Royce on a bet. This would probably have been in the 1930s. The GM Hydra-Matic, a four speed planetary transmission with a fluid coupling was first used on a...

    1948 Jukebox!

    Then you looked over your shoulder and there was Rod Serling in his Kuppenheimer's suit, smoking a cigarette. :) Great find! I wouldn't have been able to resist either!

    Napoleonic War Reenacting Sources?

    Hmmm... Sgt Harper, there's a character I'm not too big to re-enact. I'd have to learn that Irish accent, though. :)

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    Welcome aboard and mazel tov! I haven't been to my Jewish friend's synagogue yet, but I'm wondering what to wear if I do. I don't have enough hair to pin a yarmulke to. Six feet tall? Huh? Humphrey Bogart! I dare anybody to say he didn't look good in hats and he was nowhere near six...

    Wrinkle me this

    Amazing! 17-1/2 is the smallest I've been in the past 20-odd years. Good work! I can't imagine myself going that far, though, I'd be afraid my head might fall off. lol

    Worst insult

    Point Honda: Was this also known as "Devil's Jaw"? I read something about that in one of those sea history magazines many years ago.

    Homburg and Bowler Reference

    Careful what you wish for. lol I've plastered most of mine all over the Lounge, and I'm afraid people might be getting sick of 'em. I'm up to five Homburgs, two Borsas, a Stetson, a Cavanagh and a beat-up Mallory. I have three bowlers, one fits very well, one's close enough and one's just...

    Borsalino Dating: Just the Facts, Ma'am

    Whoops, sorry. On my screen the thumbnails wrap around, I thought they did that for everybody. The liners do have a woven or an oilcloth look and feel. Definitely not smooth plastic. Thanks! I love 'em!

    The Home Front... GAS RATIONING.

    When did production of the 1946 Plymouth begin? I know it was some time in 1945. I also find it interesting that California had you buy a whole new license plate every year until, if memory serves, the yellow plates of 1956. (with the exception of 1946) In 1963 they made everybody get...

    Napoleonic War Reenacting Sources?

    Do you like the Sharpe series of books by Bernard Cornwell? I enjoyed them quite a bit. He gets into early 19th century high tech in wonderful detail. The TV movies were quite entertaining, too.

    No mention of this on their website, but their calendar of upcoming events looks pretty bleak. http://www.hollywoodpalladium.com/index.htm

    What's going on here? My first car was a 1969 VW Beetle too! Mine was cobalt blue with a white interior. It was only 7 years old when I got my license in 1976, and to date it's the newest car I've ever owned.

    It reminds me of my wide-brimmed Royal Deluxe Stetson somewhat.
