Back before the turn of the century and after it well into the 1940's homes didn't have storm windows. Most houses had working shutters, and they wouldn't allow the addition of winter added storm windows. Also, very few had central heat thus the need for storm windows was low. With shutters you also couldn't have screens on the outside either. Screens to keep out flies were on the inside of the windows and designed to slide up and down on grooves to facilitate the open and closing of the windows. From the looks of the house in the upper photo, obviously built before the turn of the century, it looks like the only place it had paint on it was at the porch door area up to the porch roof.

I think it was the rubber window seating channel that had a lip on the outside that went up against the window opening metal when the window was up. Of course this was always rotted off. Check into Snyder's Antique Auto Parts. They have model A trim pieces.

Whether Hunting or tailgating at a game, here's the one to have.

Cantrell called them Suburban Body's.

Never ever replace a single row timing chain in a 380 with a single row timing chain. That's tempting disaster. 380 heads are getting scarce. Re-fit it with a double chain, sprockets and idlers or junk it, because that's where it will end up.

Do you think he's complaining to the backseat driver?..............................the passenger is obviously staying out of it!!!!

Maybe you should compare the 1936 figures with 2024 figures to see how far we have come.

My father was on this in 1941 out of Keokuk, Iowa. The U. S. Wake Robin. She was a United States Light House Service Cutter, later, US Coast Guard. He was then transferred to Boston when the war started.

We put up with a lot of previous things that time has proven unsafe, like brakes, no safety belts, good lights, etc.. But there are many things we can do to mitigate some of the most obvious and dangerous. Safety glass is one of them. A stone tossed up from the road or falling off a vehicle coming from the opposite direction, or even a bird can crash through that plate glass and the blood squirting out of your juggler is going to ruin your upholstery. Oh well, like they say. Ignorance is curable, but stupidity is terminal! My condolences to all those out there that are not still in one piece.

Yes we are in a Bizzaro Litigious World when you see signs in public toilets stating that the water in the toilets is not drinkable.

I don't see the problem here. In my town, we have pot-holes that big and they're in asphalt!

You might want to try "Chilton Automotive Multi-Guide" from the late 20's to early 30's. A separate book for each Year. There is a reprint of the spring 1931 edition out there. These books list all makes from approx. 1925 up to the year of the edition.

That being the case, here's something you need to cut down on all that copper tubing................

Looks like the 38 V8 Cadillac

I would suggest you ask that question on the Franklin forum site.
