TECH: Some TRUE OLD SCHOOL TECH circa 1945!!!!

i dont think it was the light in the garage that was the trick...it was the on and off string being routed over so the driver could turn the light on and off without getting out of the car.

 

Just remember not to inhale with that mouth atomizer. mmmm.... tastes like metalflake!

 

I love this kinda stuff, thanx for posting!

 

Very cool stuff! Only problem is that you didn't spell "school" with a "k"

 

freaking AWSOME!

 

nice.

 

man love that hubcap trick in the sand

 

Ha HA great stuff..my dad still does the tennis ball trick.

I guess valets would listen to your radio and leave it on?

 

Does anyone have the book "How To Take Care Of Your Car" published in 1950 by popular science?
Its a great book and I would post some stuff from it but I dont have a scanner. Tons of hints from the model garage.

 

Thanks for posting these links! I have been reading these stories for the past few days and can't get enough of them. Some very clever thinking going on.

 

Great stuff! Learned the tennis ball trick from my Dad the first time we lived in a house with a garage. Later I found a couple of my uncles did the same thing. Guess everybody back then knew about this.

 

Back in the day when folks used to do things themselves. That is what HAMB is all about...
