I've always been more of a Silly Putty sniffer, myself.
Like Coop...I lean towards the aroma of Huberd's shoe oil & grease!

Life had to be a bit easier being Gary Cooper (hence, the song).
He could walk down the street and not get beat up for wearing eyeliner.
Great Depression-deco design and color there. You saw that bronze-green and red (or yellow) combination on everything from tractors to cigarette packs. Joh Deere farm equipment retains the bronze-and-yellow of that era.
We like the taste of what we are drinking, you lose that when the sensation is just cold. I had the heretic stupidity to ask a waiter somewhere in Georgia not to pre-chill my glass and just bring me a beer straight from the fridge. The guy freaked: "You like warm beer?" He exclaimed, at that point I stopped digging the hole.Europeans don't believe in putting ice in their drinks. I often wondered why. Here in America, you always put ice on almost everything.
My early 1950's MG has that old car smell, it's a mix of walnut and leather, both of which have had decades to mature. It's the automobile equivalent to fine wine.There exists an "old car" smell that is present in original vehicles up to the early 1950s. I have no idea what ingredients of the interior materials combine to make it but my 1950 Packard has it and people at car shows actually stick their heads in the open window in order to inhale the nostalgic aroma. Really.
My wife's bike is a 1922 Phillips, I love it. You can smell it as soon as you open the door of the shed where it lives. It's only a mild smell, a waft of leather from the saddle mixed with 1920's lubricating oil on the chain..Grand dad's bike...Is there room for another one on your grand-dad's bike?
It's not weird to have likes and dislikes, what is weird is that others simply cannot accept this, you wouldn't believe that people actually have a choice.When in Germany I noticed that the people drink beer at room temperature and in England, hot tea.
