A friend of mine were in a '60 something Buick on Highway 17 in Myrtle Beach S.C. and I swear I saw the bar leave the speed range and go into the radio tuner bars!!

If it was powered by a "Super Wildcat" engine (dual 4 barrel 401), I could almost believe that.

I've actually owned a car with one, from 0 to 70MPH the bar was green, from 70 on up it was red (National speed limit was 70 when this was built)

Undercarriage wash?

Yup. Then you pull into one of the bays to wash the rest of the car. Chicago, 1920s.

Heck, I still use one of these along with an outdoor clothesline on sunny days. In fact, I like it better than the automatic, especially for really dirty jeans.

I've always wondered what these $7 dollar nuclear sub actually looked like when it arrived. Were they made out of cardboard?

Had one of those at the car dealership I used to work at--great for rinsing and wringing chamois. When I was a kid, my Mom thought she'd won the Irish Sweepstakes (remember THOSE?) when Dad showed up with a Dexter Twin Tub washer. Just the thing for dealing with 5 kids

Our 1950s doppelganger family had a Dexter in the basement, it was still there when she passed a few years ago along with their 1950s RCA console 21" B/W TV.
