A Soviet motor built to emulate the American cars of the 1950's, the GAZ-21 was actually fitted with many endearing features as opposed to their Western counterparts. The cars for starters had a high ground clearance, rugged suspension, an engine that would go forever and rustproofing the likes of which had never been seen before.
As such, it was the biggest and most luxury car available to the proletariat, and sold in high quantities for those who could actually afford it.
I guess for the rest of them there was always walking...
...or the bus...
Talk about a car that literally ruined everything!
The Lancia Beta had promise, it was very stylish and a very good car to drive, performing quite suitable when compared to other machines of similar class.
But once the honeymoon period was over, that's when the problems really sailed into port.
First off was the electrics. Lancia's have never been known for good electrics, and this car was no exception. But critically, the biggest problem was the rust. Show these cars a damp sponge and they'd start to whittle away.
Because of this, the company was laden with thousands of complaints and bad press about the poor conditions of the car. These problems have often been attributed to poor rustproofing techniques as well as the prolonged strikes that plagued Italy at that time rather than the metal's origin.
The corrosion problems could be structural; for instance where the subframe carrying the engine and gearbox was bolted to the underside of the car. The box section to which the rear of the subframe was mounted could corrode badly, causing the subframe to become loose. Although tales of subframes dropping out of vehicles were simply not true, a vehicle with a loose subframe would fail a technical inspection. In actuality, the problem affected almost exclusively 1st Series saloon models and not the Coupé, HPE, Spider or Montecarlo versions.
Eventually the circulation of bad press, thousands of Pounds of compensation and collection of recalls resulted in Lancia being forced to pull out of the British market in 1994, to which it hasn't returned.

Production of the CX in France began in 1974 and over 1.2 million were sold before it was replaced in 1989 by the Citroen XM. This car was built in 1980 so missed the addition of factory rustproofing that was introduced from early 1981 onwards, but seems to have survived well. High running costs, poor build quality and trouble with the 'everything-hydraulic' system gave it a poor reputation and they are a rare sight today outside France.

GAZ-21
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The first Volga model was originally developed as a replacement for the very successful GAZ-M20 Pobeda mid-size car which was produced since 1946."
(...)
"The GAZ M21 Volga, the first car to carry the Volga name, was developed in the early 1950s. Volgas were built with high ground clearance (what gives it a specific "high" look, contrary to "low-long-sleek" look of Western cars of resembling design), rugged suspension, strong and forgiving engine, and rustproofing on a scale unheard of in the 1950s.
The Volga was stylistically in line with the major United States manufacturers of the period, and incorporated such then-luxury features as the reclining front seat, cigarette lighter, heater, windshield washer and 3-wave radio.
When in 1959 the 6-cylinder line of GAZ cars was discontinued, Volga M-21 became the biggest and most luxurious car officially sold to individual owners in the USSR in large quantities, though its price was very high and made it unavailable for most car buyers."
The three series of GAZ-21
"The design process leading to the GAZ 21 began in November 1953. Alexander Nevzorov, head of the design team, was given a free hand to develop whatever he wanted, with the objective of competing with American products. Stylist Leo Eremius studied the Chevrolet Bel Air, Plymouth Savoy, and Ford Customline for ideas; the finished product bears a resemblance to a 1955 Customline."
(...)
"The Volga made its public debut in 1955, with a three cars on a demonstration drive from Moscow to the Crimea, two automatic models and a manual. It was, however, still far from production-ready; in the first year, 1956, only five cars were assembled, the first on 10 October 1956. Full-scale production began in 1957, with a list price of 5,400 rubles. The new 1957 production cars, known as Series Ones, had a brand-new 2,445 cc (149.2 cu in) OHV engine, the first model produced by Zavolzhye Motorni Zavod (Zavolzhye Engine Factory, ZMZ). Unusual for the era, it had aluminum block and head, with chain-driven camshaft and compression ratio of 6.6:1; it produced 70 hp (52 kW; 71 PS) at 4,000 rpm and 123 lb·ft (167 N·m) at 2,200 rpm."
(...)
"Three series GAZ-21 were released, most easily distinguished by the grille.
The First Series (1956-1958) featured a lattice of three large horizontal bars in the centre of which was a medallion with a star.
On vehicles of the Second Series (1958-1962) was applied a grille with 16 vertical slits.
Finally, the Third Series (1962-1970) received a grille with 34 thin vertical rods.
In Russia, each generation of the "Volga" received its own nicknames: for example, cars of the First Series were called "Stars", the Second Series were "Shark mouths", and the Third Series "Whalebones".

Pillbox formed by a metal turret, which could be rotated through a full 360 degrees, set above a steel and brick-lined pit. It was designed for a machine gun to be fired either through the front loophole which was further protected by shutters, or through the circular opening in the roof in a light anti-aircraft role. According to the manufacturer, it was suitable for Vickers, Bren, Hotchkiss or Lewis machine guns in either a ground defence or anti-aircraft role, or a Boys anti-tank rifle or rifle grenade for ground defence. Weapon change requires selection of appropriate bracket. The army did not favour the design, most were installed at airfields.
The turret was designed by A.H. Williams in conjunction with Colonel V.T.R. Ford and Lieutent Williamson. Williams was the Managing Director of Rustproof Metal Windows Company in Saltney, Chester where the turrets were produced.The company had been engaged in war work since 1939, mainly manufacturing ammunition boxes for the Admiralty using a patented galvanising process.
The turret had a garrison of two men or, if necessary three men, for whom there were folding seats inside. One man can rotate the cupola which is on roller bearings and requires 15 lb of force to move it.
According to the manufacturer, four men could dig the position out and erect the turret ready for firing in two hours and remove it completely in 30 minutes. Cost about £125.
Nearly 200 Allan Williams Turrets were made and installed, salvaging of the metal after the war means that only 33 remain. Known survivors include: two at North Weald Redoubt, Essex. One on display at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford (recovered from an Essex village). One at Worbarrow Bay, near Tyneham, Dorset. One at Seacombe, Dorset. One on the seawall at Cley Next The Sea, Norfolk. Two at Cockley Cley Hall, Norfolk. One Bembridge Fort, Isle of Wight. One at Plymstock quarry which has been converted into a blast shelter for quarrying. One at Exmouth seafront, Devon (re-located from docks). One at Builth Wells war memorial, Wales. Two on display at Sywell Aviation Museum, Northampton. One at RAF Dishforth.

Step into a certain alleyway in Sydney's Angel Place and you'll find a whimsical installation that's meant to be both seen and heard. Back in 2009, artist Michael Thomas Hill created Forgotten Songs, an installation of 110 empty birdcages suspended high in the air that play the songs of fifty birds that once lived in central Sydney before the colonization and urbanization of the area. The sounds of the calls change from day to night with daytime birds' songs disappearing with the sun and nocturnal birds, which inhabited the area, sounding late into the evening.
Though first commissioned as part of the City's 2009 temporary laneway art program, the artwork proved to be so popular that visitors and city dwellers requested for it to remain as a permanent public installation. The public outcry led to 180 new rustproof cages to be re-installed with 10 speakers that play the sweet songs of 50 bird species. As a nice touch, the names of the birds that once populated the area are engraved on the paved stones beneath the cages.
Visitor Kate Andrews recently left this note about her first-hand experience of Forgotten Songs on the website Findery, "It was magical to stand in the alleyway and listen to the birdsong echoing off the walls."

I like to review things I have used for at least one year, I feel that is a fair time to find out if it is junk or not. I have put many miles outdoors and at work with these boots. What I noticed at first is how light they were and very compact no bulkiness , it was like wearing tennis shoes. The other thing I liked is there was no break in period wore them all day out of the box and never hurt my feet. Overall great boots, the only cons are the color is a little different they are a sage color but over time they look better, and they are no where near waterproof, on the other hand they very breathable. Also they are a warm weather boot you will freeze in the snow with them.

NYC's Parade Phaeton restored:
If you were watching a major parade anywhere in this country in the 1950's, chances are you saw the dignitaries riding in a majestic Chrysler Imperial Parade Phaeton. In 1952 the Chrysler Corporation donated three parade cars: One stationed in Los Angeles (cream with rose interior), one in Detroit to serve the Midwest (metallic green with natural pigskin interior) and one in New York City (black with light gray interior). The New York City Parade Phaeton is maintained by the DCAS Office of Transportation Services and has been a fixture in tickertape parades up Broadway's Canyon of Heros for over 50 years.
The body of the New York City Phaeton was handmade and outfitted with several features necessary for a parade car -- a front and rear windshield to protect dignitaries from the wind, a leather cushion along the backseat so the passenger could be seen above the crowds, flag holders along the grill, and even a red carpet on the floor. The most unusual aspect of the Phaeton is the dual passenger compartments. Front and rear cockpits are completely separate, divided by a second steel cowl behind the front seat. Both compartments had clocks and in one publicity photo the clocks showed different times prompting spectators to wonder if the Phaeton was so long that front and rear passengers rode in different time zones! Another interesting feature of the car is that it has no outside door handles. Passengers have to reach into the car to open the doors.
The New York City Phaeton recently received a facelift. The car was stripped down to bare metal. The interior carpeting was replaced and the seats were re-upholstered. The car was painted using five coats of clearcoat finish for a mirror-like finish and all of the chrome was polished and the gold eagle on the front was re-dipped in gold plating. It took six months of work, an incredible amount of paint stripper normally used for aircraft work, and an unheard of two gallons of paint. The car was also treated with the latest rustproofing compounds. It took three men just to remove and reinstall the bumpers due to their weight of almost 200 pounds each!

I sold my first 127 within the family, where it went on to serve for about 7 years, and possibly due to it having been Ziebarted it had remained in one piece and totally without any welding. It left the family finally in a trade in, and I saw it a couple of years later still in use and in one piece.
This 127 Special which replaced it was altogether a different matter. This one had carpet, upholstered seats and was a hatchback, unlike its 2 door predecessor. It was an ex demo car and only factory "Rustproofed". I took it poste haste to the Ziebart outlet where it was duly seen to, although not very well, upon my inspection of it with inner door panels off etc, so it went back again until it was sorted.
Unfortunately this preventative action seems not to have been in time. Paintwork was already starting to blister and rust appearing on the door seams and along welds etc.
The Fiat Mastercare Anti Corrosion Warranty had more holes and exclusions in it than their cars eventually had. Just a piece of worthless lip service, which must have ultimately cost them a lot of sales.
Problem was also that Fiat along with many other European manufacturers at this time, were producing cars and storing them in fields until they were sold, and it was said that your "New" car could sometimes be anything up to 3 years old.
TNC was also a good deal more sluggish than Sophie had been, so when I espied a nice red 128 3p Berlinetta, she just had to go. I saw her 18 months later, and she looked like she had been through Beirut. Just covered in huge rust scabs everywhere. Not good for an 18 month old car.

50’s style meets modern technology in this weather-resistant, engineer style boot with rustproof, nickel-plated hardware. This Classic Boot is good for high arches, and the adjustable strap helps you get a perfect fit.
Standard sizes comparied to the purple barbie hanger at the top.
Shoulders are a wee bit smaller, so made smaller. Not shown here but there is a white one in the other photo which is a bit bigger to accomodate wide necked and shouldered coats etc.
Plain wire ones are made from galvanized steel, they should not rust! The others in this batch are made from a lighter gauge wire and then covered with beads. Care is taken to tuck in the ends so they don't catch any of the clothing.
My macro is not great! sorry, colours from 12:00 clockwise:
Barbie purple, plain wire, baby blue, dark blue, light pink, red, rose, gold, dark brown, dark lime green. I also have black in the works...
Colours can be customized to your closet colours as can the widths of the hangers and lengths (from the crook of curve where it sits on the pole, to the angled part of the hangers) you know what I mean? I say this because I have one closet that is very short so I made the neck shorter.
but these are "standard size" so you can bend the curved part bigger or smaller.

This car ain't so old, but it's rare because these things were rustbuckets. They were assembled locally without the beneift of rustproofing. My dad bought one new when I was a little kid of about 2 and when I turn 4, it had completely rusted out. Its unibody construction and lack of spares drove him to sell it for peanuts and buy a much better UK-assembled Cortina Mk.V Ghia edition which he kept for more than a decade without trouble.

wee wittle hangers
for our big headed dolls... well licca/takara, wataru suzie etc. sized dolls.
Have other pics of them in my photostream, www.flickr.com/photos/googoojue/1417665630/ but they're not that great, taken under duress LOL . Must redo the pics with better lighting... daylight.
however, that has proven to be a challenge, since I work full time and by the time I get home, the sun has pretty well heading down to go to sleep.
Have some lovely hats I made over the holidays to post too... but alas, I may have to take some photos with high flash, or maybe someone can give me advice on taking shots with those fancy light tent thingies?
anyways about these... They take forever to make, but I love these hangers, I think they're really nice! but then again, I'm biased! LOL
