What is a fender skirt

[hurleyjd]

A fender skirt was intalled on a car to fill the wheel opening on the rear wheels of a car. They snapped in place with pins and a lever. It was to make the car look more stream lined.

Creasers are a metal contraption that you put in the legs of your jeans to make a sharp crease in the front and back of the legs. Made ironing them much easier.

Hey! I remember those! Mom had two sets of them that she used on Dad's jeans. I have had times when I wished I had a couple of sets.

Lammie,

My wife has two sets that she uses on mine now. Work like a charm. She got them from the Vermont Country Store. They call them "Pant Stretchers". Check out the website.

Dun, my wife and I both got our arms caught in the rollers on the old wringer washing machines when we were kids (No, we didn't know each other back then and no, I didn't marry my sister :shock: ).

I remember my grandaddy calling the glove compartment in his pick-up truck a "Booger Box" and he used to call his front porch a "Pie-is-ard". At least that's the way it was pronounced, sure don't know about the spelling? :?:

I remember my mother getting "Green Stamps" at the grocery store that she pasted in a book and then traded in at the Green Stamp store for merchandise. Kids today wouldn't take the time to put them in a book.

I wish we could find one of those old washing machines in decent working order. I have several friends that have them and use them to wash horse blankets , leg wraps and other stuff you don't want to put in your good machine. Used to take them to the landramat until they caught us at it and made a fuss.Z

Oh Man... You haven't lived until you've been drug across a hayfield on the turtle hull of a '50 Ford business coupe behind your daddy's pick up.Z

You and LA might be the only ones on this board to remember rumble seats.

Now does anybody know where granny gear went?

Go to this website. http://www.lehmans.com/ They sell a lot of things to the Amish. You can still buy a new wringer washing machine, they also sell reconditioned maytag wringer machines.

That's about the only gear I can use now when I ride!! That's what happens when you become a Grandpa.

A turtle hull is now called the trunk.

They sell lots of stuff for the farm and home that hasn't been seen in many a year. Old Washing Machines, wood burning stoves, coal oil lanterns,. Mostly non electric stuff. I just received a new catalog last week. About 170 pages.
