    Vintage Police Uniforms

    I always liked the uniform of our State Police. They walk around in in cap and strap and it looks great. If you want more friendly and professional police, get a bunch of people together, march to city hall, and have a few words with the people with the padded pockets. The politicians have...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    I am one of those people who always felt uneasy when looking at old hospital or medical photos. I would not want to have to rely in medical knowledge and practice from the 1960's back. I must say that I am glad to have never met someone with polio or Spanish flu nor have I ever seen an iron lung...

    Cops and Robbers - Vintage Mug Shots

    One can only hope to look as good as the criminals of the past should one be locked up in the modern day. I want one of those cameras too.

    Hotel in France - vintage 1930's

    The area is already so beautiful. It is a place I would love to drive to in a vintage Bugatti while listening to Charles Trenet.

    Who is today's Steve McQueen?

    The "cool" thing about McQueen in my eyes is this: knowing you thought he was cool wouldn't of changed his life. He raced cars and bikes because that is what he enjoyed. He wore the clothes he did because those particular clothes worked for him on a few levels. He didn't let the opinions of...

    C'mon Zombie, judging can be fun sometimes; just ask Judge Dread or my personal favorite... Judge Doom!!!

    What's the meaning behind your Avatar ?

    We anti authority types tend to laugh in the face of danger. We dandys also consider it a matter of honor to looks dashing and stylish at all times too. John and I were both of those. I just hope none of you will ever get to judge whether John, or myself looks better with bullet holes ;)

    "Thirty Things that Need to Stage a Comeback"

    Cars and motorcycles that aren't run and controlled by computers. Good luck fixing a cracked circuit board in the middle of nowhere. I only own machines which give me a direct connection to them and allow me to fix them on the side of the road with an adjustable wrench and some improvisation. It...

    When Was The Last Time You...

    1. Around 2006 at my Grandma-Mom's house (my grandma raised me until i was 11 so I call her mom) 2. About four years ago. I used to have a candlestick phone with a rotary dial in my room at my Mom's house. 3.About 2-3 years ago. My 1977 Cadillac had an AM/FM radio and the best oldies station was...

    What's the meaning behind your Avatar ?

    My avatar is of John Dillinger. I grew up admiring men like him and Al Capone, so a picture of John seemed to fit my authority disdaining self.

    The Cap Faction

    Thank you very much for the kind words everybody. I don't mind being asked about the Brando cap at all; it is made by the New York Hat Co. As requested, here are some close ups I took of them: The cardboard support for the leather bottom is showing it's age and use Here is the...

    The Cap Faction

    My love affair with motorcycles has lead to an even greater appreciation of the flat cap. They look spectacular, hide helmet hair well, and store easily in the rear of my waistband when riding. I love my bowler hat and grey fedora, but I fear the results should I try to fold and tuck them into...

    That scooter is pretty neat. It looks like you really enjoy it (the pink color goes particularly well with your clothes).

    Show us your vehicles

    I tend to notice the presence of any stickers on windshields. Here in New Mexico, we don't have inspection stickers (or vehicle inspections) , so I grew up thinking how odd it was to see windshields from Texas or California adorned with anything other than an oil change reminder. Do you think...

    Wow Lizzie, that is really impressive. I didn't know there were so many stickers and stamps required on cars back then. I enjoyed the lesson. It is inspiring to see somebody who owns a car like yours pay so much attention to the details.

    It certainly did evaporate with great haste. What kind of washer should I use to replace the original?
