    Oh man, that is exactly what they mean when they say they don't make them like they used to. What a beautiful dash!

    I live in a Sears house --built in 1935 (actually built with the Sears plans -not their lumber kit --The "Belmont" ver.2) A local lumber co. constructed it with their lumber and materials as nothing was selling during the Depression. Link =

    Not exactly, remember those clear plastic seat covers. Some cars did have a little plastic as an accent, usually white. In those days plastic was expensive.

    But who actually "listened" to the music in that setting -- I was thinking about something else most of those "warm summer evenings". You can figure out where I was going (or hoped to be going) with this thought!

    Remember the movie The Graduate. The famous line, not “ I think your trying to Suduce me Mrs Robinson”. The one where Mr Robinson said to Dustin Hoffman,” plastic, plastic is the future “.
