Love those Growing up, my mom always had an "electric broom" as she called them, for quick clean ups. I believe they were all Reginas. The longest lasting one was brown with a two color brown/tan bag. I remember a dial on it, and I remember that the top of the bag/canister had a spring on it...

Speaking of airlines When I was younger the airline industry fascinated me. I used to get the paper airline schedules during the summer, and as planes went overhead I would try to figure out what flight number they were. I was close enough to the planes that with binoculars, it was great fun to...

Suds... The gunsight tailight were earlier in the 50s. Mine are through the fins like you described for the '58s. If I can get back there you can see. The 58s are very similar to the '57s. Different interior cloth patterns and different grille...in fact, the guy I bought it from thought it was...

And of course.....your including an image of a 1959 Pontiac. Perfect!

I have seen one 1959 parked on the side of the road. And one 1957 convertible in a "selling museum" that they wanted $20k for. That is all I have seen since I saw it. My inspiration was when my wife and I saw a 1964 Imperial in the parking lot of Home Depot, and talked with the owner. It was a...

Here is the engine Totally complete, even the plastic bag for washer fluid.

Some folks here mentioned that they would like to see my 1957 Chrysler Imperial at some time, so here it is. 1957 Chrysler Imperial Crown model 392 Hemi engine Completely original. Bad interior, but plenty there to recreate exactly. Every part is on this car, including trim. Worst parts are a...

Whoops, wrong message. Here's mine.

Here is mine...great stoves. Don't be this guy.
