    Vintage garage stuff

    The bottle of LX-521 additive tickles my funny bone. The first thing that I find a little odd is the amateurish label. The claimed 10% to 30% increased gasoline mileage is a little hard to swallow. Then there is the mixing ratio. 1 tablespoon for 15 gallons of gas. Wow! This stuff sure must be...

    Vintage garage stuff

    I came across this package of seatbelt reels. It amazes me how much of this type of stuff lays around for 60+ years unused and unopened. The instructions are dated 1963. As you can see this package was priced by the manufacturer at $3.95. It looks like the store Hand stamped their price of $2.79...

    Cool keychains. Post yours here

    Every letter the DAV sent out contained a pair of the mini plates. You can see the instructions on the backs of the four plates, Guaranteeing postage. The story I heard is that in 1968, because of the donations dwindling, instead of sending the plates out to millions of people for that year, the...

    Cool keychains. Post yours here

    Most of my keychains have been previously shown as part of this thread. I have cobbled together some display boards for them. Every keychain on these boards has one or two original Mopar keys on them. Almost every keychain on the Hodges board has some relation to Mopar

    Cool keychains. Post yours here

    Now that I am looking closely at some of them that I have, they do not all have cereal numbers included. So, going back to my original guess, they must have gotten the addresses of the key owners from the license plate number.

    Cool keychains. Post yours here

    I just realized taking these pictures that I am mistaken about how lost keys were returned. I was always under the impression that they would get the keys back to you by using the license plate number. But that is probably privileged information that the DMV wouldn’t give out. I just noticed...

    Cool keychains. Post yours here

    They came from the DAV. If you lost your keys, and the finder dropped them in a post box, they would be returned to you. In some agreement between USPS, the DAV, and the DMV they worked to return them by using the license plate number, which was your actual number. My year is exceptionally...

    Cool keychains. Post yours here

    I found these keychains that are meant to allow you to fold your key into. The one from the bar is the first time I realized that if you drill a hole into the head of the key, the whole key will then fit into the holder. I have added some vintage keychain items. Both of them must be from the...

    Mystery key

    I just noticed that the key has been heavily modified. Half of the area above where the peaks and valleys are, was ground down.

    Mystery key

    I came across these two items at the flea market today. I have a couple other similar spare key holders, but this is the first one that came with the fake cardboard key. The key is mysterious to me. It has on it DPCD, so it is obviously has some connection to Mopar. On the other side, you can...

    A couple estate finds

    I find the sales listed on a site called Estatesales.net. My two main interests are radios and Mopar items. I just look at all the pictures for nearby sales.

    A couple estate finds

    I found some interesting Mopar items at a recent sale. A couple of warranty brochures. An auto pilot brochure. I wasn’t aware that Mopar was the very first auto company to offer cruise control. After looking at the brochure, I guess these first cruise control units didn’t have a resume feature...

    Hiway Hifi?

    33 IMP, I have a car player that was made in the transition between 4 tracks and 8 tracks that can play either format.

    Hiway Hifi?

    It’s going to be shown on the 23rd, 12-2pm. On a network called Movies! In the Detroit area, it is a digital sub channel of NBC.

    Hiway Hifi?

    I have a couple of them. This one was made by RCA. They were changers, so you could stack records to be played. They played the records upside down. Road bumps were a problem. They played conventional 45’s.

    Hiway Hifi?

    The highway hi-fi was not generic. In fact, it was proprietary. It used special records that played slow in order to fit more music on them. As far as I know, Chrysler was the only company that sold them. There is a lot about them written on the Internet. You can find it on Wikipedia. They were...
