I originally posted about this wagon wanting to pass on the original tires to someone's perfect car. 75LandYacht inquired more about it, and I figure others might be interested too. It's a 1978 Ford LTD Wagon, started out life as a "promotional" car. Used by Ford to send different places to show...

1972 Newport. Every time I fill her up with gas, a little bit splashes out when the tank is full. The pump doesn't kick off fast enough. If I listen real close I can hear when it gets near the end and slow down, but it seems to always not stop until it comes out. Is there any remedy for this?

Anybody care to take a stab at what this might be for? House was built in 1910. White paint put on the wall in the mid 80s. Its just a mysterious hole in the wall. Not much else to say. Its right next to where a giant gravity furnace used to be. It had a bunch of t shirts stuffed in it, with a...

Asking here because I have heard so many different opinions from other people. I have early 70's two tone shag carpet. The pad has turned into nothing but dust, so it feels like walking on the hardwood floor underneath it. I want to buy a new pad, but I'm unsure what weight or kind to buy. I've...

As suggested in "remember when" here is the maytag repair thread. No work done yet, so here are some pictures. These workhorses are from 1974. And have worked without service until the heating element died in the dryer. I just moved them back upstairs and don't have them hooked up yet, but the...

Reading about what is going on in the world, I ran across this. Just reading the title makes me wonder how nuts this guy must have been. Man smiles, says 'Let's rock' before dying in electric chair

I saw a thread about someone finding their build sheet, so I will post this on here for those that haven't found theirs. Theyare very commonly on the underside of the seats, that's where I found mine. It's even possible to find one from a different car, so be careful! They are also commonly...

My grandma still "starches" her clothes in the sink, she said it was commonplace before the 50s. She does all her laundry by hand, washing, starching, ironing, and hanging on a clothes line to dry. Her clothes always look perfect, but feel like cardboard. Does anyone else remember shirt sleeves...

If anyone in this forum is curious, you can still buy it. Octane Supreme

Today a group of millenials saw the keys to my Newport and burst into laughter... I still don't relize what was funny, they said it looked like a P.O. box key. first thing I heard was "where are the buttons?"

Our house was built in the late 1800s and has a ton of "Jim fixes" aka slap up whatever you have laying around, and hope it works. Haha I was just wondering if anybody else has to deal with a home where someone from the past thought they were a home improvement expert!

I couldn't find a particular thread for things like this. I bought a 72 Newport and surprise! it's too big to fit in our garage. After doing research most car covers around here are not big enough for this enormous car. Anybody know of a place where I can get a cover for a 72 newport? Thanks...
