"We sit outside and argue all night long
About a god we've never seen
But never fails to side with me
Sunday comes and all the papers say
Ma Teresa's joined the mob
And happy with her full time job"

1931 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A Landaulet Imperiale by Castagna
$368,000 USD | Sold
From Sotheby's:
Extensively documented by marque historian Jonathan Sierakowski, Isotta Fraschini chassis number 1628 was mounted with this handsome formal body, known usually as a Landaulet Imperiale but identified in American parlance on its original bill of sale from Isotta Motors of New York City as an “All-weather Landaulet Limousine.” The sale was made on 17 March 1931 to Mrs. Jean Boalt Chambers of 1175 Park Avenue, who traded in her previous Tipo 8A on the transaction.
Jean Boalt had served as a reporter for the New York Herald during the 1920s, and later was a freelance writer with several radio scripts to her credit. In 1928 she had wed Robert A. Chambers, the great-grandson of sewing machine inventor Isaac Merritt Singer, and himself a prominent New York attorney and civic leader. Together they won many honors at horse shows with hunters from their Long Island estate, Katonah’s Wood. A wonderful period photograph survives, showing this Isotta Fraschini at one such event in Southampton.
In 1948, the Tipo 8A was sold through Gordon Ayre to the enthusiastic early collector, D. Cameron Peck of Chicago, for $250; the Peck Car Record, now held by the Detroit Public Library, identifies the seller as “Jean B. Chambers, Katonah, N.Y.,” and records the car as chassis and engine number 1628. Mr. Peck subsequently sold the Isotta to J.A. Reitzel of Evanston, Illinois. From 1954 until at least 1961, the car was the property of one J. Gross; later owners were Robert J. Fitzpatrick of Toronto, Ontario, noted in the May-June 1976 issue of Antique Automobile, and the noted collectors, Dr. Irwin Ginsberg of Buffalo, New York, and Richard and Linda Kughn of Detroit. In 1991 the car was shown at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, winning 3rd in Class and the Charles Chayne Memorial Trophy for Most Significant Engineering Achievement.
The older restoration remains utterly splendid, showing little of its age, with all finishes presenting strongly both inside and out. Unusually light-handed for a restoration of its generation, it retains much of its original body woodwork, stamped with the Castagna body number, as well as the elaborately detailed hardware characteristic of that coachbuilder. Wonderful touches include a jewel box concealed under the rear seat floorboards, and a marvelous system by which the passengers direct the chauffeur by pushbuttons which light segments of a wheel on the dashboard, instructing “Left,” “Right,” “Quick,” “Slow,” “Stop,” “Turn Around,” or “Go Home.” Even the hood retains its numbered locks, and the hinge is stamped “1628.”
This is a most extraordinary formal Isotta Fraschini, visually impactful and radiating superb good taste.

Had a blast with our auto-enthusiast friend and neighbor, Fred, at Monterey Car Week 2022.
The old signal system included a Y type configuration, with single conductor wiring going to all of the heads. There was no underground conduit, so all of the wiring for the ped heads, ped buttons, signal heads, etc all were on the overhead wiring.
This project included new conduit and junction boxes, along with all new field wire. The old pre NEMA TS1 signal cabinet was moved across the street, and replaced with a full size NEMA TS2-1 Stretch P cabinet.
All of the field wiring now goes through the new conduit and junction boxes. The westbound approach signal heads are now on a new bolt on mastarm, which improves the visiblity.
The southbound left turn is now a FYA.
The signal is now on fiber optic interconnect, including PTZ camera, APS pushbuttons, and a lot of upgraded operation
"Take the case of your automobiles,
Greatest invention since man discovered wheels.
Hydromatic overdrive four-on-the-floor,
Pushbutton windows, pushbutton doors,
Double barreled carborators rush you anyplace
But you never can find a parking space.
Highly illogical !"

Hi my name is Ibrahim with Dan O'Brien Auto Group and today we're going to be
showing you the 2021 1500 Laramie.
The Ram 1500 Laramie comes equipped from the factory with all the standard features you are looking for and more. From the Heated steering wheel to the heated and ventilated front seats along with pushbutton & remote start, this Laramie has it all.
For entertainment and communication; the Laramie comes standard with a large 8.4 inch diagonal touchscreen display with Apple Car play and Android Auto and Parkview rear backup camera.
And who says a truck can’t have style, the 1500 Laramie premium leather seats and interior panels are accented with Laramie branding and signature stitching.
You find plenty of usb outlets to charge your devices including 12 and 115 volt power both for the front and back seating areas.
With an added touch of a dampened tailgate, for smooth and safe use along with a rear power window top off this Ram 1500 Laramie.
Come down to Dan O'Brien and take this bad boy for a test drive. We're located at 175 Pelham Street in Methuen and make sure you ask for me I'll give
you a smoking deal.
Five buttons means this car has the three-speed TorqueFlite; some had the cheaper two-speed PowerFlite instead. There is no Park position, which TorqueFlite didn't get until the early sixties. (At this time, Chrysler's sudden-death transmission-shaft parking brake rendered it superfluous.)

**Note** Now that I've run a couple of rolls of film through this baby, any questions/pleas for knowledge below can be safely disregarded.
My cousin Ann generously gave me her father's camera while I was with the family for Thanksgiving. (My dad also gave me two of his mom's cameras - I'll post grandma's tomorrow). Can you believe this? It's a very unique pushbutton zoom to the lens, and I really can't wait to try it out.
I just need the manual. Or a good idea of where to put the battery. And a battery.

An old rotary telephone dial wheel.
The end of the era for rotary dial phones was in the 1960's when the touch tone push button phones started replacing the rotary dial phones. There were no ring tone choices or volume settings on a phone of this type. The ringer has an internal brass bell that is quite loud.
Post 1969 LHD model with hidden door hinges, quarter lights (vent windows), bright surrounds (trim) around the windows, pushbutton door handles, rear turn signals with integrated backup lights. Grille looks like black plastic and badge might say Mini Cooper 1300 (without a border for the "1300"), but no bonnet or wing badges. A de-badged 1972-1976 Innocenti? Front wheels don't match. Finisher is broken off at front wheel arch. Black roof or resprayed? [SRT-010-13]

From a press deadline well before the 1980 Photokina show, here are some items expected to appear.
The Alpa Si 3000 is another odd rebadge from the Swiss company—in fact, it's just the Chinon CE-4 again! This is even as the CE-4 is expected to be updated as the CE-5.
There are two models from Cosina:
The Cosina Computer CT-7 is a fully pushbutton-driven, electronic-shutter SLR. This made a negligible impact in the market.
The stripped-down, mechanical shutter Cosina CT-1A with a simple 3-LED meter display would have shocking longevity, revised and rebranded under a plethora of manufacturer's names.
Also noted are the rumblings anticipating autofocus SLRs, which at this point were considered almost too difficult an engineering challenge to solve.
Located on the junction of Wandana Ave & North-East Road in Holden Hill, this one does make sound like the newer versions.
