    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    They do indeed. There is a shop up here in North Hero VT that specializes in these things. Folks from all over New England bring their Lamborghini and Ferraris up to him to work on. I talked to him once out at an old airstrip where he tests these things out and he said the most common issue...

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    As a former professional paramedic (did that for 15 years) I have pulled my fair share of folks, alive and dead, out of automobile accidents. modern cars are designed to crumple. When I first started in EMS back in 1985, the rule of thumb was if there was a foot of encroachment anywhere on the...

    What do you use to shave?

    Jasalvas, Once you see if you like wet shaving (I am sure you will) you can start looking at local antique malls and shops for other razors. I have snagged some pretty old ones that are in my rotation for $5.00 or less.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Today I am wearing a dark green whippet clone. There is no true brand as the liner states it was custom made for Forbes and Wallace in Springfield and that the felt is deluxe quality genuine imported fur.

    I have a Seecamp .25 which I carry as a back up when I ccw. It is a nice little shooter and my uncle carried it as a back up when he was a detective.

    1940s ~50s ties?

    You know it is probably is the knot. Even with the short end ending just past the knot, the tie is way short.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    Man look at those fins! I have never really been a fan of cars newer than 1949, but I could see myself driving one of these! What happened to modern cars? They all look the same and there is no sense of style anymore. It is just plain sad IMHO.

    1940s ~50s ties?

    I dont want too at all....problem is vintage ones in this area tend to be difficult to find in a good enough condition that they can be worn in a business setting. That said, I am slowly replacing my trousers with vintage as they wear out and I am able to find vintage at a reasonable price.

    1940s ~50s ties?

    Gents, I have a number of Bold Look ties that I would like to add to my regular rotation. My question is how to wear them with modern shorter waist pants with out looking like a clown? I have a few vintage sets of high waist dress pants that ride where pants should (around navel) and the...

    Jacket for a Ride in a B-17?

    I have many hours of flying on the Collings Foundation B-17 and B-24. I have always worn A-2s (both with patches and without) and Khakis and have never had so much as a negative comment. Quite often I get a "what unit are you in?" or a comment from an elderly lady about how dashing an A-2...

    What do you use to shave?

    I have a few vintage safety razors and vintage and modern badger brushes. However, over the summer I was given my Great Grandfather's eveready shaving brush and his safety razor so I am currently using those as my everyday shaver along with some cheap shaving soap I found at the wal-mart. I...

    The squares I posted are much too large. I have seen many floors with the smaller squares and it looks pretty sharp!

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    My parents just built a sleeping porch onto their house this past summer. While the weather is turning to cold up here in Vermont, the summers can get into the 90s with pretty high humidity and a sleeping porch works better for them than an air conditioner (neither of them like AC)
