    How about another? This one is in Reedsville, West Virginia. The photo was taken in June 1935 by Walker Evans. I got the photo from Photogrammar.

    A new discovery from the Lawrence O. "Hughie" Hughes Auto Racing Collection via the Northwest Vintage Speedsters. It appears to be a Chrysler agency, but hey, there are gas pumps...

    Vintage Appliances

    Of course the obvious solution to the "no user-serviceable parts inside" aspect of a modern appliance is to buy a vintage appliance that was designed for serviceability. Hey, that would make an excellent thread! ;)

    Avert your eyes, Dino fans, this 1939 Sinclair station on Shorpy doesn't have the popular brontosaurus mascot yet!

    The car belongs to my buddy, Brian, out on Long Island. He's a member of the Barnstormers and was kind enough to let me take a turn behind the wheel at The Jalopy Showdown last year. It's a Ford Model A speedster built from a stockish chassis (still has mechanical brakes, but has a hopped-up...

    There was speculation (albeit pretty well reasoned) years ago in The Rodder's Journal that the 1959 redesign was the result of something like an internal coup at GM design. The thinking is that sometime in the summer of 1956, after the 1958 models had been finalized, some younger designers saw...

    Very impressive, Studebaker Driver! Heritage cooking is really interesting. While I haven't contemplated getting a wood-burning stove, I have a real desire to expand my smoke roasting adventures from my gas grill to a full-fledged pit, or "stick smoking" as the barbecue community likes to call...

    Your father and I are in agreement on this. Give me manual/mechanical everything.

    I can't believe I've had my '62 Falcon for three years and never posted it here. It's for sale now so I can start the next project. I had planned on keeping and driving the '62 forever, but a change of careers and a change of location made it redundant, so I'm replacing it with a '60 Dodge...

    Painted with a brush, you say? That sounds very much of the Era.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    A little digression, but talk of early Nashes always reminds me of my great-aunt Harriet (b. 1913). She and my grandmother (b. 1915) were born exactly two years apart. Watching my own girls interact, I can imagine that they had a somewhat contentious relationship in their younger years. This is...

    Shorpy says this is San Francisco's Phelan Mansion. I loved the horse-racing commentary. :D

    My good friend Clayton Paddison says he believes it is a "1926 Nash 'Special Six' Model 236 Deluxe Rumble seat roadster."

    Michigan-trained, actually. I just moved to Vermont a couple years ago. ;)

    Looks like a circa 1925 Lincoln, to me.

    eBay/scam "rep" for Johnson Leathers

    That's an interesting and plausible conclusion. I simply assumed it was a hijacked account. I had someone go so far as to steal my Skype account once, so I imagine getting eBay vendor information would be a small coup.
