It takes 8,460 bolts to assemble an automobile, and one nut to scatter it all over the road.

This music fits so well with the cars, it's like going back in time to what the music would have been heard around the cars. I never heard of Bunny Berigan's (arr.of) - I Can't Get Started until today so I thought I would share it. Hope you like it as much as I did. click the link below,

Cloud nine gets all the publicity, but cloud eight actually is cheaper, less crowded, and has a better view.

Hi Chris, If you go back bring your camera inside to share the view. The interior view may be more interesting than the outside.

I've only been to the machine shop once. I thought about walking in and asking if a tour was available or something but decided against it. The neighborhood is not great, although I've been in much worse. I spent about half an hour walking around and nobody asked questions.

During the same trip I tried to visit the Indy 500 museum but showed up on a race day. Not my best idea.

Hi Chris,
Those buildings are clearly viewed on Google maps at street level. I did not notice the wonderful traces of the old lettering on the brick.
Those buildings are across the street from the demo was. Check out the building that is a loft rental on the east view. Click ind 46222 zip address, click on street view and rotate 180% and go down the street and look to the left and right...

The machine shop survives as offices for the Indianapolis public transit system. If you look closely at the top of the building on one side, you can make out DUESENBERG MOTORS, barely eligible.

Here's a link to my photos.

Hi Chris, I checked Google mapping, {Harding and W. Washington Street} at ground level and the surviving building appeared to have been converted into a housing unit. The area still seems to have some industrial buildings to the west. The wood structure must have been unsafe and the smokestacks unstable. It?s a shame this site was not preserved. I would have liked to go over the soil with a metal detector. :)

The surviving machine shop, at the corner of Washington & Harding, is a nice place to visit. Its exterior has been nicely restored and it's still possible to take pictures of it without getting any of the modern additions in the background.

Replied by balinwire on topic "Gene & Glenn"
CARROLL, GENE (13 Apr. 1897-5 Mar. 1972) had one of the longest-running television shows in Cleveland. A native of Chicago, he dropped out of high school and performed in amateur shows to compete for cash prizes. He joined Jack Grady of Chicago in a successful song-and-dance act in 1924. When Grady became ill in 1929, Carroll teamed up with Glenn Rowell of Cleveland. Known as Gene & Glenn, they appeared in vaudeville and on the radio, performing in Cleveland on station WTAM from 1930-35. In 1934, NBC began broadcasting a 15-minute version of the act "Gene & Glenn," including the characters of Jake and Lena, which were created by Carroll. When Jake was to marry Lena in 1935, crowds gathered around the WTAM building in anticipation of a glimpse of the couple. Carroll and Rowell left Cleveland in 1935, performing out of Des Moines, Chicago, and Boston until 1943. After Rowell's departure for war work, Carroll appeared on the "Fibber McGee & Molly Show" on NBC for 1 season. He returned to Cleveland in Apr. 1948 to establish a talent school and begin a television variety show on WEWS, continuing these projects until his death. The television program, originally known as the "Giant Tiger Amateur Hour" and then the "Gene Carroll Show," was continued by his widow. After his first two marriages ended in divorce, Carroll married Helen Olsen in 1940.

I wish I could get some audio but here is a Gene Krupa, Harry James video, they really rocked the house in the thirties! Could that clarinet player be Benny Goodman?

I have a copy of a promotional book Merle Norman put out around 1972, which has pictures of the Nethercutt town car at that time. It had a white hood and moldings, as well as sidemounts, just like the car in the photo, so I assume they are the same car.

I am familiar with town cars without side mounts. I was at Nethercutt three years ago and don't remember seeing it , but I might have forgotten.

Hi Mike, Photo is from the Eighth annual Meeting of the Classic Car Club of America in January of 1960 at Buck Hill Falls, Pennsylvania.
It's an L-29 Cord Town Car, that needs paint, of course.
