    I almost bought one! Fresh out of college my younger brother (by 18 months) and I were looking to buy a new car. Our interests leaned toward the new 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang but we decided to wait for the full year 1965 models to arrive. In the dealers showroom next to a beautiful green 1965 Mustang convertible was a shiney dark blue street legal 1964 or 1965 (?) Cobra, 2 seater (i.e., 2 person) with 3 point racing harness seatbelts, , 4-on-the-floor manual, don't remember which engine probably 8 cyl. Sticker price was somewhere around $8,000. The sticker price on the 65 Mustang, 3-on-the-floor manual, 6 cyl engine, 4 seater, was around $3,000-$3,200. (For reference starting salaries for newly graduated Accounting majors was about $6,000). The dealer let us take the Cobra for a test driver with a salesman along to "supervise". It handled beautifully 😍. But we both decided on Mustang convertibles; the Cobra was just impractical for two single guys, only 1 female passenger, very limited luggage space vs 3 (maybe 4) passengers in Mustang, ample luggage space. We ended up getting the Mustangs for around $2,500 each.

    You can also substitute numbers for letters in words. Number 0 for letter O, number 1 for letter I or L (both upper and lower case), number 5 for letter S, number 3 for letter E, dollar sign $ for letter S . Example: Ph1lad31phia = Philadelphia. Or Pennsylvania as P3nn$1tuck3y aka Pennsyltuckey. With all the logon accounts we have to maintain, for banks, doctor's patient portals, insurance, investments, Social Security, et al, you want to follow the Kiss principles and not get too carried away. 😉

    A cheap place where you can "flop" for the night, i.e. sleep. It's American slang from the Great Depression Era

    FYI, when you get bored with downhill skiing or want a break from work, check out the ice boating on Lake Hopatcong just a short distance south of your new digs. Of course climate change may hit them as bad as us up here. No ice anywhere up here last season. 😒😠 Lake Hopatcong Ice Yacht Club Facebook page Lake Hopatcong Ice Yacht Club Best of luck on the move! Hope it all goes smoothly.

    Good luck on the house sale! And have a happy Thanksgiving with your family 👪!

    I have the entire collection of Lee Valley's Veritas miniature tools, use them a lot, not just on models but 1:1 as well. They are well worth the investment. Also have the miniature worktop with the bench dogs et al.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
