@Triedaq, the Imperial LeBaron had First Corinthinan leather in 1974! I do like your joke. ---

Am I the only one who remembers Ricardo Montalban and the Chrysler Corinthian commercials. He did those commercials for free. ---

The Cordova was available with the slant 6 engine and there was a cut out in the passenger side fender liner to access the distributor. The car was likely quite reliable but Rabbit diesels could walk away from it at a red light. ---

> I wonder what those PETA wierdos would say about the animal products if they were all ''natural death'' by-products ? Your fox, chinchilla, mink, rabbit, cowhide, deerhide and all would come only AFTER the natural demise of these animals. But...an animal generally "dies a natural death" when a bigger animal EATS it, rendering the skin digested and useless. I donā€™t understand PETAā€™s (or anybodyā€™s) urge to show empathy and compassion to animals, when nature is mostly bereft of either. _Bambi_ it ainā€™t! If one were really ā€œattuned to nature,ā€ one would probably adhere to the credo: ā€œDoest as thou willst. So mete it be.ā€ P.S. Iā€™m not saying to turn a blind eye to suffering; Iā€™m saying any animal that is allowed to live a stress-free life up to a swift death has it better than most animals or humans out there. (Yes, I know that modern farming falls well short of this idealā€¦please, donā€™t remind us of that in the particular.) ---

No, Bambi it is. As you may recall, Bambiā€™s mother was killed by a hunter. ---

Most Americans never even consider the cold hard facts of how their hamburgers and chicken nuggets materialized and when PETA throws the gory details at the squeemish and tender hearted I guess it can be tough to deal with. By the time I was 8 I understood that when my grandmother told me she needed two chickens for dinner I needed the hatchet and not money and the expression ā€œlike a chicken with its head cut offā€ was not some vague cliche. ---

I didnā€™t live that way, but my father did. He said the chickens were his pets until he figured out what happened to them when they disappeared one day. He decided to find other pets instead of dealing with the loss of his friends. ---

> No, Bambi it is. As you may recall, Bambi's mother was killed by a hunter. Well, then the "big, happy family" baloney. Thumper was "fast food" to half of the woodland creatures. And if you like the outdoors, thank a hunter. Licenses pay for State Game Lands, which make up a decent portion of the wooded areas in this country. Also ā€œsaving land for game to thriveā€ held the fort until this country could build up an ecological conscience. One hesitates to think how much woodland would exist today if we didnā€™t love to hunt in the early 20th century. ---

I wish the local government allowed hunting in the park behind my house twice each year instead of once. I can see the benefits of one hunt per year, and Iā€™d like more. As long as someone eats the deer, Iā€™m happy to have qualified hunters in the park. ---

Yep, deer today and geese tomorrow. Iā€™ll be the first to sign up a for Saturday shoot out to rid the area from those filthy, aggressive birds. I was at a 4th of July program in a capital city on the banks of the river, and the banks were so filled with goose droppings everywhere, you couldnā€™t hardly find a place to step. I hear people eat goose. Time to take a stand, and bird flu is getting to be a big deal in Minnesota. Never hit one with the car though but did hit a turkey. ---

@oblivion Henry Fordā€™s car was made from soybean derived ā€œplasticā€. There is a photo of him taking a sledgehammer to the trunk without denting it. The material was probably too expensive to produce, and did not lend itself to high volume production. ---

@MikeIN NH Not this article; Henry Ford was a prolific experimenter, and since soybeans were a ready staple, he did build one car with a soy derived body. There is a video somewhere as well of him going at it with a sledgehammer. The person stating the HEMP may also have been mistaken. Iā€™ve never heard of him using this material.
