    thanks

    having seen a thread locked because of a nipple slip from under a set of mardi gras beads (after 50 some odd pages), it's best to stay off the nude scene as stated above. And the forum rules give us those guidelines as well.

    So carry on with the vintage materials...







    Building Grandma's First Indoor Bathroom

    1947 Photo by August Katrencik of his brother Joe as he helps convert his parent's side porch into their first indoor bathroom. Looking on is niece Jeanne Godish.



    Hendersonville PA: Uncle Roe The Squirrel Hunter

    Rudolph Katrencik album. Late 1930's or pre-war.
    Note:

    Not my uncle!!!

    I think the other content in the thread has a serious bearing on it as well. This is easily an epic thread- the mods aren't *******s and enjoy it as much as we do and won't just lock it for a nipple slip. I'm all for following the rules but the spirit and letter are two different things. No one else is making a big deal of it. Just sayin'.

    based on the interior dash/clock and fat fenders...

    I'm guessing a '48 Chevy Fleetmaster

    Actually I'll revise that to even earlier... 41 or so chevy

    the fender fatness started at the hood hinge not after it



    edit: dammit.. Larry beat me to it while I was hemming and hawing.

    Fun that they'd use a Chevy, especially an 18 year old one (18 back then must have been an eternity!). I'm always curious to see what car they use when they make a comparison like that
