Drum brake car?

All 63 and 64 Corvettes have drum brakes. 65 is the first year for all disc though you could delete the discs for drums and get a credit.

That ride height is NOT factory. So what happened? They order replacement springs which are not the same as those used by the factory? Wouldn't they compare the replacements to what they are replacing and see they don't match?

The main problem is no one sells the correct springs. It's a one set fits all part number situation and everyone just buys what's out there. I had a company make me a couple sets at the factory ride height specs minus one inch and they came in at a perfect height for the stock F60x15 tires. I still have an extra set in the box in case someone needs it.

Or, they tightened all the suspension points with no load rather than letting the car settle before tightening the bolts. Not sure it would completely fix the tippy-toe stance for this car, but might have helped a little.

The USS Missouri - last of the Iowa Class Battleships. She has nine 16-inch/50-caliber Mark 7 Guns. OK - so what does that mean?

The nomenclature of the Mark 7 can be a little confusing, however, as it basically meant that the guns were 50 calibers long – or 50 times their 16-inch bore diameter, which made the barrels 66.7 feet (20.3 meters) long, from chamber to muzzle. Each gun weighed about 239,000 pounds (108,000 kg) without the breech – and 267,900 pounds (121,500 kg) with the breech. More importantly, the Mark 7 gun was able to fire projectiles weighing from 1,900 to 2,700 pounds (860 to 1,220 kg) at a maximum speed of 2,690 feet per second (820 m/s). The range was up to 24 miles (39 km) and at maximum range, the projectile could spend almost a minute and a half in flight. Another common misnomer about the Iowa-class is that it had triple gun turrets, but this is not technically correct. In fact, the turrets were actually “three-gun” and not “triple” as each barrel could be elevated and fired independently. Moreover, each gun could be elevated from -5 degrees to +45 degrees, moving at up to 12 degrees per second. The turrets could also rotate about 300 degrees at about 4 degrees per second.

Mysterious creature found on a beach assumed to be an alien. Truth be told . . . it's a Sea Mouse - a type of worm not often seen.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Unfortunately time wasn't good to CARVANA. Company is burniing thru it's cash and will probably declare Banco before the end of this year.

The A12 Avenger. The Navy's stillborn stealth bomber. After spending $5 BILLION and not a single plane was built, the whole project was scrapped in 1991. One of the biggest wastes of time and money in history. The A-12 Avenger didn’t avenge much at all.

Shen the T. Rex Is Partly a Fraud, So Christie’s Is Cancelling the Multimillion-Dollar
Auction.

The expected price was to be around $25 million. Unfortunately what you see is a combiination of two T-Rexs: Shen and Stan. When Christie's found out, they cancelled the sale.

Lee,
First of all your never ending photo displays are one of my everyday stops, plus I need to call the wife several times a week to show her your fascinating photos.
Awesome work! Thank You, Chris and Dorota.

We were just there (red arrow) recently showing family from Poland 🇵🇱 the disappearing gun station (one of many) along the coast that were built to protect the SF Bay and especially the Golden Gate Bridge.

This has a familiar look.

Cool cars in hiding.
