My wife and I went out for a late lunch. There was a very slender 30+ yo that was HOT. I mentioned it to my wife when we got home, and she wasn't jealous.
I just realized that a lot of my tools and machinery are well over 50 years old. I have clothing that is over 25 years old. A few years ago I gave a tee shirt from bike week 1982 to a young guy I worked with, he thought it was a collectors item, I thought of it as old.

Chrysler only?
No, 61 or 72 Rambler had them too.
Studibaker Lark 60 or 61 always looked like it was tired because of its yawning grill. Great engine in the Lark and Hawk; Hawk was sleek. Avanti was inovative.
1950s the Studibaker body was ahead of its time. By the time the engine caught up, the body style fell behind.
Crosley made little station wagons similar or smaller than the PT Cruzer.
Dodge made a car in the 50s with a transmission we called the slush-a-matic; to start, you had to shift into 1st, then it would auto shift 2nd and 3rd.
Tail fins- who won the war for the best looking and the most grotesque?
62 Olds Starfire had a brushed aluminum panel about 6" wide that ran the full length of each side, beautiful.
The late 40's to the early 60's Buicks had an automatic transmission called a Dynaflow. It has a manual low gear but in drive (if I remember correctly) took off in high gear and the speed was controlled by a variable pitch torque converter. Also some had a 2 position key switch. So to start it you turned the key to the on position and then depressed the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor to engage the starter.

I used to belong to this pistol club; Drink til midnight piss till dawn. Can't do that any more.
My little brother still has a Ford truck with the floor mounted starter button. Of course it has manual choke too.

Bought my wife a new equinox last spring and she loves it. But she told me yesterday, what she really wanted was a '53' ford 1/2 ton with a flathead v-8 and a 4 speed. Can anybody help. Oh yes, it needs to be red.
Too much halmark I think

I can help you with the red part, but you really need to convince her the 40 Ford is much sexier!

Good point, I will remember that. She loves the heated seats. Not likely to find that in a 53 ford.
