Thanksgiving dinner 1973 is more like it They came out of a meth lab. All they need is to be cleaned.   AND BURNED!!!!!

1957 Lincoln Someone was selling a Premiere 4 door hardtop two years ago, complete but not running. They wanted $1,957.00 for it. It was so tempting to me. I wonder what on earth was wrong with those cars, that so much needed to be done past regular upkeep.

The Incomparable Capehart It doesn't get any better than that! I imagine the Portland, Oregon area is ripe for those great treasures.  Anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, I'd imagine. (image nicked from tvhistory.org) 

The Magnavox Organ Here's an ebay ad for an advertisement. If I can find a photo of an organ, I'll post it. And even though I can't play a note, it makes me ill to think of all the organs and pianos that go to landfill! Just like all the vintage Magnavox, etc products that are jetted there. ...

Yep, that's Dean Martin, in I guess a Matt Helm movie. The rest of the room looks pretty good too. I wonder who that blonde is? 

Well, I haven't had any problem not reading the one or two member's comments that I wish to ignore, but then that's me. In the event I'm ever attacked again, it will come in very handy. The two people who did the most damage to me are gone, one is guaranteed to never be back, and the other is...

Yes, they made organs, from about 1961 to 1967, thereabouts. Some are highly sought after.

Given the choice, I prefer wood as well I have a '57 Magnavox console, a ruined '59 Magnavox console, a '65 Magnavox "Sorrento" solid wood Italian Provincial console, 1959 Magnavox Belvedere twin consoles, a tabletop 1953 Magnavox Playfellow, a 1956(?) Stromberg Carlson with a matchstick grill...

Magnavox called it Cardura Well, it's like the components are good, consoles are bad arguments, tubes are good, solid state is bad, etc. The "plastic" in Magnavox is a higher grade than ordinary, and is finished with the wood in the cabinets instead of being color matched later. Magnavox was no...

Presentation is everything Nothing says "we just hauled this outta the back room and flopped it down for pics" like the arm on the platter. "You're supposed to secure the arm? I didn't know that". You want $50 MORE worth of fun? Gainesville, Florida. One of you grab it...

1959 Buick Electra 225 This is one of my dream cars too.

I miss vinyl upholstery. We had a '70 LeMans four door sedan with the most beautiful dark green vinyl, it lasted for years. Here's a door panel from the '90 Olds Custom Cruiser wagon, in vinyl. The seats are cloth, in a rather unattractive pattern, but wears like iron. 

It's a Packard Bell Tea Cart television. Came in 23 and 25", available in color later on, from what I get in this link: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/50183-packard-bell-cart-television

Stan, I get a leak under the engine every time I stop the car. Fortunately it's not so bad right now. I don't really think it's a hose, and it's a relief to know it's not likely a freeze plug. The hoses and belts were replaced not long before I got the car. The <span style="font-size...

GM pulling the plug on Oldsmobile for whatever reasons was just dirty. Same for Pontiac. My leak goes under the carpet in the right rear, and one day after a deluge outdoors, it got wet enough under to saturate the top part of the carpet. Some reason, the rest of the carpet never seems to even...

Thanks Stan :) I like the new pictures, especially the Grand Prix, and the Plymouth is a treat for sure! I certainly hope you don't get anymore surprises with your new Olds than you've discovered so far. I don't carry anything in my wagon, it's strictly a toy for my amusement, the poor 2000...

Wow, good for you! Once you get into your new baby, I'm sure you won't be disappointed! Great color, and overall appearance. I think I may have owned more Oldsmobiles than any other make. My last hurrah was when I bought this high mileage Cincinnati car from Vero Beach in January 2013. A woman...

To amarks99 The set is at least a 1969 Magnavox Total Automatic Color Mediterranean armoire. Anything newer would have a roll out record player and different trimming on the record player. I'm sure you won't have a great deal of trouble getting rid of it, and it is way too nice to go somewhere...

This entire thread is delightful! The European models are quite nice to look at, as well as the newer cars since the fin era. The young lady on the rear deck of the 1959 Impala convertible is fashion model Suzy Parker. Jayne Mansfield either drove that bright red 1957 Premiere convertible in...

My favorite Impala And can you identify the woman sitting on the rear deck?
