  1. Scrolling through several pages, I'm impressed I've actually heard of several of the artists posted in this thread. You folks might want to go back and check all of your posts in this thread because a fair amount of the YouTube links have gone bad. Include all the pertinent details in your text so future readers might be able to attempt searching for these songs. I have re-edited my own posts for this reason.
  2. I thought the Lionel collectors might find this of interest. The store issuing the catalog appears to have been located in NYC. Skip to page 24 https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=nnc2.ark:/13960/t3mx2493d&view=thumb&seq=1
  3. Let's go on a train journey... Track: Pacific (231) composed by A. Honegger
  4. I grew up with this album. Listening to it again with a new appreciation for it, it's a fun recording... Track: "A Taste of Honey" from Whipped Cream And Other Delights by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass
  5. It's up to the builder to do them. ?
  6. See Part 1 of this video. Adam Neely also has discussed various plagiarism cases in other videos.
  7. I thought the JG Thirlwell name sounded familiar. He also composed the soundtrack for the "Venture Brothers" animated series.
  8. Here's a bodystyle not noted in the Land Rover ad. Indeed the kits have creative potential...
  9. I fell into watching a small number of Bad Chad episodes on Motor Trend channel just last week. I don't think I'll be watching any more.
  10. Satin aka Blackie, 2005.
  11. Traveler (foreground) and Smoky (background) in 1987.
  12. My mother would never allow my family to ride carnival rides.
  13. Apparently these carnival trucks had the rides built in. https://www.obnoxiousantiques.com/inventory/ferris-wheel-amusement-ride-truck/ https://www.obnoxiousantiques.com/inventory/antique-carnival-whip-ride-amusement-truck/ https://www.obnoxiousantiques.com/inventory/1953-chevrolet-whip-car-carnival-truck/
  14. A complete truck https://www.obnoxiousantiques.com/inventory/1950s-gas-powered-store-promotion-truck/ Fiberglass body shell (made from original mold) https://www.obnoxiousantiques.com/inventory/divco-truck-body/ Aren't they cute?

  15. A Dustbuster van in Argentina! https://auto.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-1185279295-chevrolet-lumina-v6-lumina-apv-38-_JM#position=30&search_layout=grid&type=item&tracking_id=29f08ccf-71e5-41aa-83d2-3e31cd08a2c9
  16. I'd like to see someone build it as a yellow submarine.
  17. If you email a model company with a complaint, I don't think an angry tone would help you.
  18. The listing offers not info, but fenders were often trimmed like this for racing... https://auto.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-1213035799-chevrolet-coupe-1934-_JM#position=47&search_layout=grid&type=item&tracking_id=4a3808f4-15db-4ab2-8833-71b7133402b9
  19. I grew up with this early electronica album This was always my favorite: The sillier side of their compositions. Electronic music was very much a novelty at the time. Most of this album was recorded by making various electronic noises and piecing them all together manually with little slices of tape--note by note.
  20. One of my old mix tapes has "If You Could Read My Mind" recorded off the radio. I also have one or two Gordon Lightfoot 45s. There are numerous videos on YouTube of younger people listening and reacting to Gordon Lightfoot songs including the one above, so people are discovering and appreciating his music these days. "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" is one that usually gets a strong reaction, particularly once they read about the story behind it.
  21. Note that one has the cove trim. Argentinean equivalents tend not to have the trim. I've actually been wanting to do one of those, which is why I'd been wondering about the trim removal.
  22. I saw this at the 2007 MassCar show. I don't recall who built it. Note the monochrome "color" scheme for a B&W TV "picture".
  23. I spotted this scene in central Massachusetts in 2018.
