Your Personal Timemachine

[Diamondback]

[voice=Christopher Lloyd]Dan, you also forgot that for some obscure reason, only stainless steel has the required properties for dispersal of temporal flux to open up the space-time continuum for temporal displacement.[/voice] Do I sound like Doc Brown yet? lol

So, you would've probably seen the later Shore lounge and Creek observation. Better interiors, but not quite as nice of a paint scheme as the '38. (which was quickly simplified by replacing the blue with silver and narrowing the two stripes in the middle if the window-band)

Yes, as I recall the XXth Century WAS all steel when I rode it . . . . hmmmm . . . . .

But in '53 it would've been all Pullman-Standard two-tone-gray Cor-Ten, not Budd stainless...

I wouldn't mind having a vintage Autogiro.

I wouldn't having a vintage Autogiro.

We'd have to call you King Westley if you did!

 

[Absinthe_1900]

I'd be closer to this movie autogiro pilot.

Only two means of transport through time for me, thanks.

And the other one - ever since my childhood:

 

[plain old dave]

On the land: 1961 Chrysler 300G with the 405hp 413

In the air: Lockheed Super Constellation

Being a Navy vet, sea travel just isn't appealing anymore. Sorry.

I got to ride one of my time machines - 40 hours each way Winnipeg-Vancouver-Winnipeg. It's called The Canadian and it consists of 1950s sleepers, Pullmans, diners, skyviews the works - refurbed in modern VIA Rail style but inevitably evocative of the era. All my trip lacked was Eva Marie Saint and two East Germans trying to kill me.

Somewhere in Alberta

I wouldn't . . . having a vintage Autogiro.

I think you've lost your "mind". Eh?

 

[Viola]

I can't decide even what decade to play in. I like the '30s sedans, and '50s fins.

 

[Flivver]

Driving or riding in a vintage car is the ultimate time machine for me.

But watching old movies and reading vintage magazines would come in a close second and third.

Now if only I had a *real* time machine! My first stop would be early January 1925 so I could attend the 25th annual New York Auto Show.

I know exactly what you want.

Batmobile Mark I, 1941

 

[Mr. 'H']

This is probably the most beautiful car I've ever seen. It failed to meet reserve on eBay last week.
1941 Cadillac coupe.

Yeah I was watching that!

That one has those weird plastic seat covers which I think they refered to as original. Nice photo.

I'm very partial to '41 Buicks and Cadillacs myself.

Here's me in Glenn Miller's '41:

That is hawt.

 

[K.D. Lightner]

If I could take a time machine, then I could go into the future and get a space ship, travel to distance stars and planets, have everything I need on the ship, including trees, green things, gardens, animals -- and robots to take care of everything and feed me while I charted planets and stars and galaxies and reported it all back to earth. Take a few friend with me for company.

Oh, yes, and I would do it forever as I would be immortal.
