the hose by holding your glove over the tip and pulling the trigger, no more
beating the gun on the grate.  Now it's pull the ...

In mid-May, the father of a soon-to-be Groom called and asked if I knew
where he could rent a vintage Studebaker for his son's wedding.
The wedding date is June 24, 11AM, at St. Mary's, in Alexandria,
Virginia.   His son, the groom, would like to have two of our old

I'm sorry I even asked the question.  All I wanted was to BUY and own a

Anyone have a lead or recommendation on who in the northwest US
