    Replica pre-war Hawaiian shirts?

    Kona Bay makes some nice looking repros of the "From Here to Eternity" shirts, and other postwar aloha shirts. https://us.konabayhawaii.com/?woo-products-count=view-all

    Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

    Here is one in Blue. I bought it new way back in late 90s if I remember correctly.

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    For me, still Mabel Normand.

    Ghost signs

    On top of the old Legendre Building in New Orleans, you can still see an old painted ad for Legendre Herbsaint, where Legendre & Company was once located.

    1920s footage of New Orleans

    I kind of like this clip of Old New Orleans: http://library.sc.edu/newsfilm/flash/NewsfilmFLASH6.html

    The car looks pretty rough today, they don't like sitting up, and not running since 92. Now that the ram air rig is being reproduced, more 71-73 Mustangs have it now, than Ford built originally. At least you can get re-production Mach-1 interior door panels now, I remember when you could only...

    My oldtimer, I've had the Mach-1 since Dec 24, 1980. I parked it in the garage 20 years ago and recently put it in the shop to get it running again. I learned an expensive lesson letting it sit up too long... It's due to come home any day now, then it's going to be stripped and repainted ...

    My Mach-1 has a manual steering box, it's a fun car to parallel park. (Plus that great rearview that all 71s have)

    The Soda Thread: Coke not Classic; Throwback Pepsi

    At least the Dublin Bottling Works is still busy with other flavors of their own, we have them at my local Kroger's in The Heights. http://www.dublinbottlingworks.com/

    The Martini

    Substitute a dash of Absinthe, for the Pernod pastis in your Martini. The Level Crossing appears to be a more modern take on the Tremblement de Terre, or Earthquake. (Half absinthe, Half Cognac) A revised Earthquake here: Start with a dose of a fairly plain anise rich absinthe - we used...

    Air Conditioning in the Golden Era

    My Mom bought a house when I was a kiddo that had two huge 1940s Carrier AC units. As I remember them they stuck out about 18"-24" inside the window and were half round streamlined, and painted with a fake wood-grain finish. The two units would cool the whole house, and we had them until 1969...

    July 2, 1937 - Amelia Earhart

    Exactly! Paul Mantz was likely the most correct, giving an exhausted AE almost no possibility of her surviving the Electra going down in the ocean. People simply will not accept the plane hit the water, broke up and sank. My own opinion, if AE couldn't handle a Pitcairn Autogiro, (She...

    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    I have quite a lot of different brands of absinthe, but only use Herbsaint Original (or the regular 90 proof Herbsaint) in a Sazerac. As far as authentic absinthe, that would depend on what's on the shelves in your area. Someday I may open this antique from old New Orleans...

    What pens are we carrying today?

    A nice surprise, I found these in a box of old things I was sorting through. I'll have to see about getting the pen cleaned, and up and running. One more vintage thing to obsess over :eusa_doh:

    Did someone say Herbsaint?

    Premature burial that causes you the most pain....

    Buddy Faro should have gotten a full run, and I wished Banyon, and City of Angels, had lasted longer too.
