I love this thread. All the pictures. I am a history buff along with being a gear head. Love trains, plains, autos, military, the ladies the happy and the sad pics. They all tell a story. If I could ever figure out how to post I have some old family car pics going back to the 20's. Thanks to ALL the posters. keep them coming and don't change a thing.

 

The P-61 was not a bomber, it was designed from conception to execution as an all weather night/Intrusion fighter. It never had any provision for carrying ordinance. Without doubt my favorite non Australian built aircraft.

Doc.

 

Dang twin6, Made my day. A couple of Ford Country Sedan all loaded down. Love it

 

I like how the tutones were reversed on them.

 

Best you know your aircraft!!----HA!---Check out the armament on the P-61 specs!!!-------Don

 

Some people are like a slinky. Not good for much, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Jimi: Now there's a great testimonial on this popular thread. Thanks, Rat! Yeah, it's a potpourri of about ANYthing historical. But not knowing what you'll find or learn each time you tune is half the FUN here! I too THANK all the posters . . .



. . . but we don't need no
stinking imposters! LOL

 

&#8220;Ford Mustang&#8221; is synonymous with front-engine, rear-drive coupes. But the car originally had a mid-mounted four cylinder. The Ford Mustang I concept was designed and built in 1962 as part of Lee Iacocca&#8216;s initiative to create a radical to compete with the successful Chevrolet Corvair Monza coupe. The team, which included designer John Najjar, engineer Roy Lunn, and designer Gene Bordinat, completed the fully functional concept car in just 100 days. The Mustang I had a steel tube chassis with an all-aluminum body riveted to it for maximum rigidity. It also had fully independent suspension, disc brakes, and a mid-mounted Ford Cardinal 1500cc 60-degree V4 engine good for about 109 horsepower. The car was feather light, wickedly fast, and drop-dead gorgeous. Unfortunately, Ford never put the car into production citing prohibitive production costs. But I can&#8217;t be too hard on Ford, considering the Mustang it did produce (and produces today) is kick ass. And, yeah, there&#8217;s the original GT40. And the GT. And the SHO. And the Focus RS. Still, who wouldn&#8217;t love a lightweight mid-engine sports car wearing the Blue Oval?

 

Budd XR-400 prototype, 1962.

 

Amen ..

btw- I had a Garvic slot car and a COX controller,,,,

 

At Budd's bodyworks

 

It still wasn't designated as a bomber, it was designed as a night fighter/interceptor as Doc stated. Every US fighter in WWII could carry external bombs.

 

You are correct!-----Just thought I would add the spec sheet when it mentioned bombs!-----Don

 

This one even makes a Volvo safety guy throw up in his mouth, Gary.

White wall winter treads?

 

Great name on that system. More like don't rub the posters so hard next time .

 

Pigeon Hole Parking came to Portland with the wave of parking-lot mania that swept the city in the 1950s. This one, at SW Stark and Park, lasted until the mid-60s when it was moved two blocks south to SW 9th and Alder. Like many of these parking systems, it was plagued by bad electrics that would strand cars until repairs could be made. The Stark and Park site is still a surface parking lot.

 

Geez, shit can that program !!!

 

maybe scratch n sniff,,

 

old lathe

 

Snow treads. Anyone remember the "sawdust" snow treads. It had sawdust in the rubber. Very soft and no more than 2 winters. Dad had'm on the '53 Chev. Maybe even on the '57 Pontiac.

 

This is how I do it.

You have Photobucket? It's free, upload the photos you want from your files to Photobucket. You can resize them and a few other things.

When you go to post the photo, copy and paste the bottom link into the URL of the album you start or directly into the post. Do not move the photos at PB at any time or they will no longer be shown in your album or in a thread.

Now this is import. When you paste the [img] url in you HAVE to delete the [img] front and rear of the URL in the place you posted or the photo will NOT show up. What i do is use my arrow buttons and go all the way to the right and delete backwards until it is gone and then I go to the start of it and do the same.

Giver er a shot and good luck.
