    If you think the 1959 Rambler wagon was ugly, perhaps you've never seen a 1959 Ford, Chevy, or Plymouth wagon.   I had a 1964 Rambler American.  I got 235,000 miles out of it.

    bradfordwhite wrote: "The (Pacer) engine wasn't reliable"     The AMC inline six that was built from 1964 to 2006 wasn't reliable?  You've got to be kidding!   The only cars that rusted as quickly as Chevy Vegas in the early 1970s were Hondas.   The Hondas, Toyota Corollas, and Datsuns...

    My 1978 Ford LTD Landau Coupe, the last year for the big LTD, lasted 330,000 miles.  With it's 351W 2-barrel it always got an honest 22 MPG highway.  It was a wonderful highway car.

    Washing bedding in vintage TLs -- where am I going wrong?!

    Reply #4 That's exactly the way I do it!   I've also noticed that the higher the thread count of the sheets, the more likely they are to form air pockets in the washer.

    If Appliances Were Like Cars In Cuba

    I'd consider the old Maytag washers to be the Checker Cab of washing machines, good for 500,000 miles with no overhaul. And don't put down AMC, I've owned about 8 of them and every one of them held up better than the products from the "big-3" that my friends owned.

    The Rise and Fall of Car Companies Building Refrigerators

    To me, IH refrigerators look a lot like the Sears Coldspot refrigerators from the same era which I believe were made by Seeger, which Whirlpool bought out in the mid-1950s.

    If it's mildew, washing it again with a little chlorine bleach, a dose of detergent, and warm water will fix it.

    Chinese TCL window AC RANT

    I wouldn't blame the Chinese, I bought a 5000 BTU Haier 20 years ago and it works like new.   Many appliances and electonics sold at Walmart are 'special' Walmart versions.  I buy my appliances at an appliance store.

    What washer to replace an ailing Whirlpool Cabrio?

    "Not so big on fancy features or efficiency." If you're only washing 3 or 4 loads a week, and you live where water actually falls out of the sky, longivity is more imporant that energy efficiency.

    Turquoise Maytag washer

    I know Kenmore badged Whirlpools sold so well because Sears would give credit to anybody, but I doubt the Whirlpool badged Whirlpool washers really outsold Maytag by very much at all. I'll agree that the Whirlpool dryers were superior, but when the washer only spins at 550 RPM you need a really...
