1940 Packard convertible coupe with a 1949? Cadillac rear clip and 1953? Olds motor and trans (runnable with fresh fuel and tuneup). I don't know the history of the car, but it's been safely parked for decades in a southern California garage. Complete with top bows and 50's caddy hubcaps. Certainly an odd late 50's custom! If anybody has any history, please let me know.

QSL is one of the Q codes used in radiocommunication and radio broadcasting. A Q code message can stand for a statement or a question.

QSL cards confirm either a two-way radiocommunication between two amateur radio stations or a one-way reception of a signal from an AM radio, FM radio, television or shortwave broadcasting station. They can also confirm the reception of a two-way radiocommunication by a third party listener. A typical QSL card is the same size and made from the same material as a typical postcard, and most are sent through the mail as such.
The Glass House’s forgotten older brother re-enters the architecture world thanks to a real estate advertisement. The Booth House, Phillip Johnson’s first commissioned home, was recently put on the market by Sirkka Damora, an architect who lived there for fifty five years with her husband Robert, also an architect. So thank you William Raveis Real Estate for reminding the world of its impact.
In 1946, when the house was built, the Damoras cared not for Johnson’s name, (he wasn’t famous yet), but rather for his enthusiasm of using new materials and technologies like concrete blocks, steel beams and plate glass to promote affordability and modern living. As architects they were excited to see how such functionalist Bauhausian ideas could be implanted into American architecture to create a new aesthetic.
He's been practicing: Peña ran three to six miles every day while trapped underground. The New York Road Runners, a running organization, extended an invitation to Peña on October 14, the day after the rescue operation ended. New York Road Runners President Mary Wittenberg said that Peña “demonstrated how running can play an important role in our physical and emotional well-being under any circumstance.”
