    Long Ago before any interlock or whatever!!!! People did that because to start a really old car you had a floor mounted starter,that actually pushed the starting gear against the flywheel and some had the springs of death and you needed to place one foot outside for leverage to push that button...

    Kenmore washer slow spin/wash

    Look at the motor Is there a capacitor on the side of the motor? It should have a metal shroud over it.Replace it and go from there! Its like an old radio,the caps dry up.Its really nothing but a big battery that stores energy when you need it,Bobby

All factory trunk ac had outside scoops,usually by the rear window and dual air 60s and 70s limos.That...

    Family's first airconditioned car

    A 53 Cadillac We had a 53 Caddy with air in 58,my first car with air was a 54 Chrysler New Yorker Deluxe.Chrysler seemed to always have the best air.On the 1942 Desoto 5th avenues,they had factory air,of course with the war just starting not many were made.I wonder how many survived!
