CPO initiation required a vast store house of knowledge of trivial information gathered from the many rounds at the club plus an indepth study of all things nautical......

2 degrees? man that is cold! Its 32 and raining here, supposed to be in the high teens tonight, and of course we are headed to Nashville to see the Rockettes. I'd imagine the ice will knock out the power for a while. We have a little generator to run some things though. If all else fails there will be a motel somewhere with power and a heated pool!

Ona  good note I did get all the PPE needed to spray urethan paint in my shop and got a good deal on a TCI sizzler convertor(2200-2500 stall)

Any one want to guess who Miss Lube Rack 1955 was?

[RICH MUISE]

Miss Lube Rack.....Lou Brock's wife?  nevermind, that was bad. She sure looks familiar. I'd really like one of their oil cans though.

Please don't say Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi would have been 11 years old when this photo was taken.
I take that back, Pelosi was born in 1940 I think I read. She would have been 15 years old. Still not her.

lol! Miss lube rack is a looker so it can't be Pelosi. LOL

Morning coffee, just getting ready to walk out and go work our locals Kids Christmas party.. Then to the ice Fishing show after.

The photo was taken in 1951 at the Muller Brothers Oldsmobile Tires and Carwash in Los Angeles, California by Life Magazine.  The photo was one of many that appeared in a photo documentary about the world's largest automotive service station.   The idea for the beauty contest was to celebrate the 3,000,000th vehicle to go through the car wash.  This according to a May 16, 2012 article published in the blog site of John Straub.
So she would have been 11 years old. We may never know who this woman was. I know she didn't live near me, I'd have remembered.

I ran across that picture during my search for old Ford advertising I'm collecting. I thought these were some nice ones also from Life and Sat Evening Post mag.

[JimNolan]

I wish they still made the big Life magazines. Seemed they documented life and were enjoyable to look at and read.

On a more somber note lets not forget today was the day we were attacked at Pearl Harbor and take a moment to remember those who were lost..

Amazingly void of any mention on the internet. Today, 72 years ago, sure changed the world. My dad, and all my US citizen uncles, fought in WWII, fortunatly they all came home.
