The hat in question is in fact the real deal. It never made it to auction per se. I contacted the Gentleman who owns it and he even let me hold it. I promptly began to repeat myself and had an acute desire to burn my clothes! What a sight and feeling it was to hold an actual piece piece of...

I would have to agree with John...W.C. Fields would be great company, I'm sure. Ol' Blue eyes would be another.....And last but not least, although from a different era...Jackie Gleason! "Oh how sweet it is.." Howard Hughes could join us...of course with a bottle of milk and some chocolate chip...

I don't see an answer regarding this...They don't look like Strat's (band is too thin) in the pics, are they Whippet's perhaps?

I think I'm in love...The '59's are the sexiest car ever made...except for maybe the '48 Tucker, but with only 51 made and 47 known to exist, I don't think finding one of those in a barn is going to happen anytime soon!

Thanks Tango! It is a cool story. I have owned and built many custom cars and trucks over the years, but nothing has garnered so many thumbs up and positive attention as this car, especially when I tell the story of how I got the car and it's history! Surprisingly, the car has stayed mostly...

Dave- The Fairlane is an original 289/ Automatic car. My wife's Dad can't remember if the engine was rebuilt or if they just just replaced it with a correct crate motor. The car has sat for in a barn for the last 15 years and really only needs fresh paint. It is Black with red interior. She...

[ P.S. I love the Poncho, and I’d really enjoy seeing pictures of the ‘65 Fairlane. Dave- Here is the Fairlane. It belonged to my Wife's Grandmother. It's a '65 Fairlane 500. Her Grandmother had the engine replaced in the early '80's because she wore it out! We are not positive, but we...

. -Dave The supply for vintage cars is surprisingly very good around here...He'll just need to check the usual suspects, but the market is good considering prices are pretty low..It will work in his favor. Does he want a complete runner or a project?

Thanks for the props! The Pontiac was originally my Great-Grandfather's car. He purchased it new in Dec. 58 just before Christmas. He drove it daily until he died in 1984, when my Brother inherited it. It was not cool enough and was just too big for him, so he traded it in on a smaller car. It...

Vintage cars have both the advantages and disadvantages of owning them. The former being they are easier to work on, the latter being hard to find parts when you need them, but at least you can still work on them. I restore old cars, so nothing satisfies me more than being able to rebuild and...

He was a fine actor an quite the gentleman as well. I had the privilege of meeting him in Portland, Or during filming of 'Breaking In' in 1988. He played an attorney in the film which also starred Burt Reynolds and Casey Siemasko. Maury was the quintessential gentleman. I have and always will be...
