The original 1950s Mr Potato Head had appendages with sharp steel spikes, and you stabbed them into actual f'ing potato or banana or whatever, in whatever messed-up array you wanted, and then you would skin and eat it afterwards. We were a harder people then
And if Mom was all out of potatoes? Time to play Mr Little Brother Head
And then we'd sniff model airplane glue and throw Jarts at each other, or be blinded by shattering clacker balls, or take a Wham-O Super Ball in the nuts, because society used to know the value of thinning the herd
I say if you're in the market for an electric landaulet, buy American - Columbia or Baker
People are always surprised that electric cars have been around as long as gasoline cars, going back pre-1900, and they sold pretty well. In the early part of 20th century there were several prominent US makers - Detroit, Baker, Columbia - and Detroit lasted until late 1920s
Yep, car racing goes back to around 15 minutes after the second car was built, and the 1904 Vanderbilt Cup (established by Cornelius Vanderbilt's great grandson) was the first big one- 7 years before the first Indy 500.
Before commencing to today's IDs, please pardon the tedious guidelines reminder: PLEASE use the #DavesCarIDService hashtag on your car ID request, otherwise they get lost in my mentions.
Today's episode of #DavesCarIDService is brought to you by the Snowmobile Company of West Ossipee, New Hampshire. Stop wasting money on expensive horses- get a Snowmobile™ attachment for your Ford car and turn those snowbanks into boulevards!
long before "snowmobile" was genericized it was a trademark for this system, patented in 1917 by NH Ford dealer & tinkerer Virgil White. $400 kit, or complete Model T $750. Main market was MDs & rural mail carriers, but only ~3000 were made.
before getting down to today's ID bidness, I again implore you to adhere to the guidelines for your optimal car ID service experience.
