John Kogel Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 What came first, the tree, the dryer, or the mustang? The house is a 1948.

rkenney Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 My vote is for the drier (dryer?). 1950ish Bob Kenney www.IndependentHomeInspectionMD.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Kibbel Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 1. Bendix Deluxe dryer 1946-1948 2. Ford Mustang 1964-1966 3. What species is the tree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Looks like a cherry tree about 30 years old. My vote is for the dryer too. Remember my father bringing a used one home when I was barely bigger than a toddler. He was always accepting crap in exchange for work, furniture, washer and dryer, cars, engines, even an oil furnace. I still remember the Ford woody wagon he was given when I was in kindergarten. Wish to hell he'd kept it. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghentjr Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Whatever, the Mustang needs a better owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI in AR Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 It's a rare day when I can correct Bill, but that's either a '67 or a '68 Mustang, not a '64-1/2 (as they were officially called) to '66 model. The cars got slightly larger with each successive body change. It's hard to tell unless you are really familiar with them, but the grill opening height is larger and shaped a little differently on the '67-'68 models. I restored several of them when I was younger and had something called free time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allseason Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Mustang looks like a '67. Dryer looks f---g old. Question is, does either one run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 1. Bendix Deluxe dryer 1946-1948 2. Ford Mustang 1964-1966 3. What species is the tree? Cherry. Bob should win, Bill got the dates, and Mike the species. But it's a trick. The mustang in North America dates back to los Spanish conquistadors, late 1500's. [][][] The grille on the Ford Mustang is distorted by the camera lens. The side bars on the grill emblem I think make it a '64 or '65? I found an ad for sale on Ebay for that Bendix dryer, dated 1948, same year as the house. I told my Asian client to give the car to me. Maybe I should have asked for the dryer. I told them to cut the tree down. I should drive by and see if either car, tree or dryer are still there. http://cgi.ebay.com/1948-Original-BENDI ... 0062787154 Thanks for the laughs.

Not to beat a dead horse (pardon the pun) but the 'stang is definitely a '67 or '68. The '67 had grille bars available also, but they didn't have the "shark gill" design on the headlight surrounds like the earlier cars did. The car in the photo above doesn't have the gills. The grille bars may have disappeared in '68; I don't know. Here's a '67: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/photopos ... oto/132747 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Chris B (allseason) and Kevin win the Mustang (Ford) mystery. Prizes are a bottle of Canadian beer for every contestant, but shipping is not included.** I felt it was a 67 or 8, but got some incorrect info from the net last night, re: emblem sidebars. The wrong info confirmed Bill's guess of 64-66. Sorry about that. However, Bill is allowed to be out by a year or two. A caution for all - 1. only a portion of everything you read on the internet is fact. Caution 2. A missing capital may not be a typo. [] **If the Stanley Cup goes to Boston, there'll be no beer here.

Tom Raymond Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Mustang Schmustang. I'd rather have the drier. It'd nicely compliment my early 40's Roper range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allseason Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Nice to be right at least 50% of the time. I"ll go with 67% of the time because the dryer is f----g old and I called that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
