    What's for Dinner?

    Corned Beef. Guess I gotta love March.

    Help me place a date to this photo please?

    I am not the person to count on for '60s cars. They are a bit newer than I like to play around with. However I am fairly sure that the Chevrolet is a bit newer than 1960. Probably about a '62 or '63. Wish I could tell you more.

    The general decline in standards today

    And that is why this once great nation is heading to Hades in the proverbial hand-basket. I have to be careful here. This site disapproves of much political thread-drift. And I can get rather lengthy in my occasional rants. Forty years ago, one could have an intelligent discussion about...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Also in my house, we are currently working on volume one set for the 1966/67 series "The Time Tunnel". As a long time Sci Fi fan, I had watched the show for its one and only season, and enjoyed it. I wish it had gone on longer. I don't know if any real time travel will ever be possible or not...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    In my house, the "last" TV show watched will be the one just before I die. The thing is on most of the time. The problem is, that there are not many shows that my wife likes. So we see a lot of shows over and over and---. On the other hand. Sometimes it leads to something I enjoy. Some time ago...

    Old Department Stores

    Ah! The forerunners of Walmart. Ain't history grand? I grew up partially in the '50s, and remember the five and dimes well. There were many of them all across the country, many well known in only some parts of the nation. I remember J C Penny with their (probably a regional thing) signature two...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Yes, I was a major sci-fi fan growing up in the '50s and '60s. I especially liked anything to do with space and/or time travel. I watched Star Trek from the first broadcast. I liked its hopeful view of the future, which is actually quite rare in "future fantasy" sci-fi. Gene Roddenberry tried to...

    Things You Learn as an Old Car Driver

    I had to laugh. Yes, I don't worry too much about the model T Ford. Between adjusting the carburetor, setting the spark and throttle, then having to pull the crank and choke it? Having the key left in the ignition isn't going to help a thief much. And if you have never driven one? The way the...

    Anyone else like Hollywood Precode movies?

    Above, I see "Frankenstein" (1931, first and best of Mary Shelley's monster), "Little Caesar" (the best gangster movie ever), "Public Enemy" (love the hoofer James Cagney in a bad guy role), and "42nd Street" (one of the earlier and best of Busby Berkeley). The other two Busby Berkeley early...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I have very eclectic tastes in movies. I truly enjoy a lot of silent era movies, but do not watch them often as they take almost undivided attention. That "flaw" is also their strength. You must stare at the movie to read the conversation cards and pick up all the other acting cues, and end up...

    Unappreciated masterpieces?

    A lot of wonderful suggestions for un or under-appreciated movies in this thread. And a few well appreciated favorite films mixed in also. One I ran into quite a few years ago is "We Are Not Alone" starring Paul Muni, 1939 if I recall correctly. It is an interesting, subtle, presentation of...

    How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

    Yeah, I knew there were a few (probably more than have admitted it here yet) that are older than I. But 40 years of hard work have taken their toll, and for most of my life, I have been one of the youngsters in the antique automobile hobby. I first joined the Horseless Carriage Club of America...

    Your favorite movie quotes

    A line I throw out once in awhile when someone suggests a bad idea. From a decent sequel, "The Lost World: Jurassic Park". My apologies if I missed it and this one has been given before. Dr. Ian Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum: "Oh, yeah. Oooh, ahhh, that's how it always starts. Then later...

    Loungers' Pets

    1mach1/Harv, Saddened by your loss. I don't check in here everyday, and have looked for this thread a few times wondering how things were with your Agent Smith. We have a 16 year old cat that I am afraid will not make it another year (had her since 7 weeks old). It never seems to get easier. The...

    Clean Jokes

    Is it okay for me to tell a real story here? Maybe I'll find out. Quite a few years ago, just out of high school, and still living at home. My dad and I had gone out to do some work. As we later head toward home, in the dark down a two lane country type road, we see an unusual amount of...

    the voices of famous actors? why no modern actors sound like them anymore?

    I am curious. Where would some of you put Alfred Hitchcock in all this? When I was much younger, I looked forward to watching his "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" tv show. I really like his wit, the jabs at the sponsors, and his unique sound. Most of the stories were good also. One thing, he was not...

    How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

    This is the first time I have seen this thread. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Turns out , for some of you, it looks like I was older than your age now when you were born! (I have not read most of the thread yet, however.) I voted for Richard Nixon for criminy sake (at least I can joke...

    I wish I had the $$$!!!

    I just looked at the listing on the link. Did not see a price or location. The listing did say it has been sold? Any chance it was you MikeKardec??? I have always been a bit of a sucker for people finding and getting antique cars they like. !933 Plymouth is a bit modern for my old car interest...

    New: Fedora Lounge Artisans

    I am a bit curious. Is this envisioned to grow into multiple threads seeking advice and advertising limited services? Certainly there are good beginnings scattered throughout many other sub-topics. Perhaps some of the hat making or repairing threads should even be moved to here? In my younger...
