Charming. Oh, BTW, did you photoshop that R tailpiece on the grill of the old car?

Nope, I haven't ever driven one. Haven't even seen one other than in pictures. But it would sure be cool to own one!
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

I watched that very episode this afternoon on the annual SciFi Network Twilight Zone marathon.

Nice, the car company used the American air corps Uncle Sam throws his hat in the ring emblem from WWI, used by ace, and company VP, Eddie Rickenbacker, of course.
Re: But have you ever driven a 1924 Rickenbacker?
indeed I have, in Nashville, Tennessee. Rickenbackers are a very heavy vehicle to steer and maneuver, like a truck, but then so is any 1920's vehicle except maybe the Ford Model T which is a bit lighter.
I reburbish old Jaguars from the 1960's, but have always been interested in antique and classic cars, my preference is for the cars of the 1930's, specifically the 1934 Ford and some others.

Anyway, nort driven a Rickenbacker, but if they're anything like old Mercs... going at 50 km/h some bends tend to become quite hard to corner, they remind me more of some older 4x4s in how they drive than of trucks (if you mean what brits call a lorry, not a pick-up).

I drove a Model A Ford two-door (tudor) once upon a time. If you're used to power steering, they can feel pretty heavy. Kind of always wanted a 1930-31 Model A Ford pickup truck. That will be a long time coming, though.

Some time back when I used "rickenbacker" as a search term on some Craigslist, one of the cars (in bad need of restoration) came up as a hit.cjj wrote:Nope, I haven't ever driven one. Haven't even seen one other than in pictures. But it would sure be cool to own one!
