A pomade from the history books: Lover's Moon. An excellent example of how marketing can draw you to purchase a tin: a Gent with palm trees under the full moon & stars. Olive Oil for the heart healthy. Great tin of yesteryear.

A follow up to Rob Fortier, editor for Rod & Custom-1939 Chevy. Here we see the truck with hood and quarter panels removed for easy access. Front end work: engine was yanked, a customized ifs front end and dropped spindles. The handling and stance of the truck looks very nice. The back end progress next post. What color would you paint the truck? 2 Tone, gloss black, suede?

Found this picture of this little guy in his tin wagon. Love how he is rolling down the middle of the brick road bogartin' without a care in the world. Classic Americana Youth.

Big Audio Dynamite was the second coming of Mick Jones after the Clash disbanded. Keeping up with the times Mick and his collabs produced a current sound featuring: layered sampling, heavy raga and electro. A prime example of their works is 1991's RUSH. Check the singles cover art, drafted by the one & only Shawn Stussy. Only one man can write fonts like that. Mick was part of the International Tribe-Stu Crew.Big Audio was what many consider would have been the next sound of the Clash, that would have been a shame. But they are still worth a hearty listen ..... for the change of atmosphere.

Our friend Rob Fortier the editor of Rod & Custom and former editor of Classic Trucks is in the process of restoring his '39 Chevy Truck. We are going to follow the progress of his Bow Tie classic in an ongoing "featured special." So here we begin with the truck in her weathered original state. Layers of dented rust, missing rare parts and old chrome. Tag along for the journey. A diamond in the rough - not for long.

Not far from the previous post we encountered this?!?! An original Bell Telephone booth. These clamshell pay phone booths faded away over 20 years ago. They were easily distinguishable & visible to those in need of a phone fix. Simpler Times

We are all fans of the Van Doren Rubber Co. I was a team rider for Vans for almost a decade back in the day. Nothing beats a traditional vulcanized pair of sneakers. There was a time before the Van Doren empire, the Randy 720 from 1965. Look familiar? Back to the Future
