    Why the 1920s-1940s?

    Please, a Super Stock Dodge was anything but stock. They were sent to Hurst, as bare shells, then modified engines and other parts were put in, with fiberglass panels and bumpers, some were even acid dipped to take off those last ounces! They even had to be shipped on the bottom rails of the car...

    What was your first car...???

    While I did not buy a car until I was 21, I did get to drive my Aunts 65 HiPo Mustang the summer I graduated from high school. I had a blast! A year later, she offered it to me for the princely sum of $500. I turned it down, because it would have cost $50 to overhaul the automatic...

    What was your first car...???

    251 of those cars were rebadged High Country Special, and sent to Denver. I missed out on buying one by just an hour!

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Actually, whitewall tires are very popular with the young Rat Rod drivers. We still have the rotating airport beacon, and on cloudy nights, the search lights. TV antennas are making a big come back, with the cut the cord crowd! Although they don't look the same as the old brass rabbit ears.

    whats the closest thing to Traveling back in Time? to get a feel of times past?

    Talk about a blast from the past! Friday I was offered this 1931 Fleet Biplane, at a great price. I am not sure if it is fortunately or unfortunately, but I do not have the spare money right now.

    I think they are banking on the exclusivity of the 50 jackets! But, I'm with you, if I spend that much money, I want to know that I will never run into some one else wearing my jacket!

    USN M421-A

    Some where, I saw a photo of a theater made cloth A2 in tan! I think it was India or Burma? Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the photo at the moment.

    USN M421-A

    Those do look nice! Unfortunately, with the house remodel money is tight. I hope they are still making them next year?

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Jay Leno's Garage. Kind of left me flat! He was much better when he was on My Classic Car, the original Leno's Garage. I would rather see more of his collection of cars, and less of the modern stuff. I did get a laugh out of his one quote, “Why do people like to do burnouts? Look, if you don't...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Topper Takes a Trip (1939) Not as good as the first, however, Roland Young and Billie Burke were just as funny!

    What was your first car...???

    On a funny note Stanley, over breakfast this morning, with a bunch of car guys, a friend of mine told me he bought a Corvair Fleetside. I told him to be careful, they are dangerous at any speed, so it might just blow up in his garage!

    Happened to stumble onto these photos of JFK. Looks like a 421 to me.

    Vintage Car Thread - Discussion and Parts Requests

    That reminds me of a few years back. This young guy we knew, had a Dodge Spirit, it came up missing, turns out the apartments he was living in were repaving, and towed it to the other side of the buildings. We were pretty mean, we said things like, when you've lost your Spirit, you have no hope...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    The Weapon Hunter. Don't care for the host much, but otherwise a good show. He went to Canada, to help on a Achilles Tank Destroyer. Then he went down to California, for some brake bands for the tank. Then he went to Arizona, for The Big Sandy machine gun shoot. He got to fire a Tommy Gun, then...

    whats the closest thing to Traveling back in Time? to get a feel of times past?

    Now that's a blast from the past! I can remember what a big deal it was, to graduate from Keds to either PFs or Converse high tops. Now I see, adults wearing Keds!

    What was your first car...???

    Still don't buy it! If you are knocked 30 feet in the air, you're skull is going to be cracked open, and your internal organs are going to be a mess. Find me some article from the 50s- 60s where it was happening all the time like Ralph Nader wrote about. Not one where the pedestrian is hit so...
