The buick

I started driving in '67 so anything 1967 brings great memories. That Buick was considered mid-size back then.....loved the convertibles. Thanks for sharing!

Just for Darren.......

Who needs a bed when you have a hearse and air mattress??? But here is your shower, and yes, it's in the building. I built a full bathroom there about 6 years ago.

For Man-Cave Dwellers Only! No Winninz ('

Yeppers, Darren. My goal was to make this a retro bathroom. I had to have a well dug to supply water, and it ended up being many hundreds feet deeper (read: multiple thousands of dollars out of my wallet) than anyone envisioned. So that kept the bathroom from being as retro as it could have been.

One lucky find during the Cadillac LaSalle Grand National in DesMoines IA was a genuine 1955 American Standard Man-Cave Approved urinal! The old man who sold it to me told me he personally removed it from the green room of the old Kirkwood Hotel in downtown DesMoines. The green room is typically a dressing room located just offstage at performance venues, where the performer dresses and rests. As such, the man who sold me the urinal swore that the likes of Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Dean Martin, and countless others, "used" the urinal that's now in my building. Now isn't that something?????
