    Wanted ad (non) responses

    Hey Kube, I am seeing an everyday lack of civility in many ways. My parents both taught me the good manners that make a man a gentleman and they are just a part of who I am. Walk next to the street, open doors, carry the heavy things, push in the chair and endless others. How about when saying...

    Hey Kube, I am seeing a major decline of manners in everyday life every day. My parents both taught me the many things that make a man a gentleman and they are a natural part of me. How about when I say thank you I get a reply of "no problem". Well, I sure didn't think there was a problem...

    Fender skirt identification

    Can someone verify if this is a 1937 Ford Fog Light?

    That would be an early 37 lamp, marked Unity and having the fluted lens. I have had a NOS lamp, in the same box, marked FORD and with the prismatic lens. The Unity lamps were sold for any use and are relatively common compared with the FORD version. Nice item and you have a treasure chest of...
