Hemmings Find of the Day – repliCountach

As of this writing, there’s 23 Lamborghinis for sale on Hemmings.com – everything from a ‘66 350GT to a pair of ‘08 Gallardos. So, of course, to accompany today’s Hemmings Six Degrees of Separation Challenge on Lamborghinis, I find the most unLamborghini of Lamborghinis – a repliCountach, offered for $34,900 out of Georgia. From the seller’s description: 1985 Lamborghini Countach Replicar Exterior paint finished in Red complemented by a Neutral Shale...

Hauling through history

A little bit back, I gave you a look through the pages of a long-forgotten book, “American Trucking, a 75-Year Odyssey,” by Robert M. Roll. It was published 30 years ago and it’s still a treat. Here’s a couple more images for all of us who remember this industry’s past so fondly. This one kind of expresses what Hemmings could become some day, you never know, a home for presentation and retrospective on transport history in all its forms. Let’s peg this image...

Hemmings Find of the Day – ZOMG, Matt Lauer’s Mini!

It’s previous owner was Matt Lauer of the “Today” show. He owned the car for about 10 years. We recently purchased the car from him and it is in excellent condition.

Hemmings Find of the Day – CRXs

And along with the oldest cars currently on Hemmings.com, I might as well highlight some of the newest. Of course, that’s tricky as well. Many exotic car dealerships advertise with us, so there’s plenty of brand-new Lamborghinis, Porsches, etc. But Auto Investors has an interesting pair of what some would consider late models, what others would consider future collectibles: two 1991 Honda CRXs, each offered at $5,495. From the seller’s description: 1991 Honda CRX Si (white)....

Heavy Duty Truck Iron Represented at SEMA

While the bulk of the vehicles showcased at SEMA are cars, bikes, light duty trucks, and SUVs, there is a contingent of heavy-duty trucks that have made their appearance this year. Take a look at the latest creation from Outlaw Customs, a specialized business that was started in 2007 by Brothers Andy and Alex Gobel, along with Nic Gillian and Jon Gill. Watch for a video on this creation. Freightliner Trucks seem to be the dominant truck here at SEMA, with a couple of versions that are a...

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1903 Ford Model A and 1903 Stevens-Duryea L

So after finding the most expensive and least expensive cars currently advertised on Hemmings.com, I decided to go for the oldest. Tricky that, because there’s an “early 1800s Studebaker buggy” (cool, but at 1hp, it’s not technically a car), a “1901″ Oldsmobile (really a 3/4-scale replica from the 1960s or 1970s), and a 1901 DeDion-Bouton, which has already sold. That leaves two more from the same dealer that offered the DeDion, Donald G. Meyer of Lebanon,...

Hotel W Barcelona

Im Oktober eroeffnete ein neues Wahrzeichen in Barcelona. Das W Hotel hat die Form eines Segels und wurde vom Architekten Ricardo Bofill entworfen, der sich auch fuer das neue Flughafenterminal 1 verantwortlich zeigte. Die goldschimmernde Fassade erstreckt sich ueber 26 Stockwerke in die Hoehe. Darin gibt es 473 Zimmer. Man kann zwischen Einfachen ( die auch schon aufs fuerstlichste ausgestattet sind und einen atemberaubenden Blick aufs Meer oder die Stadt bieten) und 67 Suiten waehlen. So...

Hausmechaniker: Räikkönens Ingenieur für Alonso

Es sah zunächst alles danach aus, als wolle Fernando Alonso bei seinem neuen Arbeitgeber sofort zeigen, welche Diva sich dieser ins Haus geholt hat. Im nächsten Jahr wird der Spanier im Ferrari-Cockpit sitzen. Kaum war der Vertrag geschlossen, wollte Alonso den Renningenieur Rob Smedley seines Teamkollegen Felipe Massa zugewiesen bekommen. Daraus wird nichts: Der ehemalige Weltmeister wird nun zusammen mit Andrea Stella arbeiten... Seit Chris Dyer die Rolle des Chefingenieurs beider...

Hemmings Find of the Day – Pontiac Banshee

Oft misstated fact of the day: John DeLorean didn’t want to copy the Corvette with the Pontiac Banshee. Yes, he wanted a two-seater sports car, but he didn’t want it to be an American-style nose-heavy V-8 sports car; instead, he wanted a European-style lithe small little thing with the OHC six that he championed. You could see this yourself, in person, if you bought the Banshee prototype currently for sale on Hemmings.com by 2 Shores Classic Cars. From 2 Shores’s...

Hey Fiat: What About the Chrysler 200C?

There were some great comments in my blog about Fiat’s plan for Chrysler. Apparently, the Sebring is getting the axe. Well, what about the 200C concept that was shown at NAIAS? Remember that? This is truly what the Sebring could/should be. I sure hope it doesn’t end up in the dustbin.

Hella schließt für 2010 betriebsbedingte Kündigungen aus

Die Geschäftsleitung und Gewerkschaft vom Zulieferer Hella hat sich darauf geeinigt, betriebsbedingte Kündigungen bis 2010 auszuschließen. Zuletzt hat Hella wegen der allgemeinen schlechten Wirtschaftslage den Abbau von 800 Arbeitsplätzen an deutschen Standorten angekündigt. Zudem haben durch die natürliche Fluktuation, Altersteilzeit und ein freiwilliges Abfindungsprogramm mehr als 650 Mitarbeiter das Unternehmen verlassen. Um den schlechte Auftragslage abzufedern wurde die...

Hemmings Find of the Day – Katrina cars

After yesterday’s $5.3 million Ferrari, just to prove that I’m an equal-opportunity classified-ad skimmer, I went digging around the bargain section of classifieds on Hemmings.com. There’s at least a couple pages’ worth of sub-$1,000 listings, mostly for parts cars, but I found these two – a 1951 Packard 300 and a 1962 Chevrolet Corvair – at the $1,000 level, both being sold out of New Orleans. Your first thought upon hearing that city’s name is...

Have You Played Forza 3 Yet?

During lunch yesterday Rob and I played a good hour of Forza 3 and I must say the game is awesome. The graphics and sounds are amazing, and the feel of driving the different cars is like none other. I am no ”gamer” and have very little experience in driving games like this, but I this game allows for people like me to really enjoy it no matter what your skill level is. If you’re like me and hop directly into a Bugatti Veyron or the Ferrari FXX you will quickly find out what...

House of the Golden One

Back when I was just a wee cub reporter hacking away at a keyboard for a daily newspaper in northwestern Ohio, I spotted in downtown Port Clinton a chestnut-colored Cadillac station wagon. By the time I returned to the spot with my camera, it had vacated the scene, and I never saw it again. Now Steve Donohue, who lives in my former stomping grounds (and who owns the Belvedereamino we recently beheld), comes along with some photos of a Cadillac shooting brake which he spotted on nearby South...

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1958 Ferrari 250GT

Sometimes, just for kicks, I like to search for the highest price a car on Hemmings.com is being advertised for. That’s how I found the 1953 Maserati A6C54 last month (at $1.95 million), and that’s how I came across the 1958 Ferrari 250GT currently being offered on Hemmings.com at $5.3 million. From the seller’s description: 1958 250 GT Tour De France-RED/TAN-complete ground up restoration within last 4 years. Multiple show winner including Platinum award Coppa Bella Machina...

Honda macht die Krise zu schaffen

Im ersten Geschäftshalbjahr 2009 hat Honda Motor Co. Ltd im Vergleich zum Vorjahr einen Umsatzrückgang von 28,7 Prozent verbuchen müssen. Allerdings ist das gesamt Ergebnis sogar um ganze 74,8 Prozent zurückgegangen, der Gewinn vor Steuern um 80,8 Prozent. Der Automobil-Bereich des Konzerns ist mit seinen Gewinnzahlen um insgesamt 79,2 Prozent nach unten gerutscht. Der japanische Autobauer geht im zweiten Halbjahr jedoch von einer starken Verbesserung aus. Sparmaßnahmen und interne...

Hemmings Find of the Day: NASCAR GTO

On first blush, you’d think some hillbilly down South found a GTO rusted up to its doorsills and decided to live out his Ricky Bobby fantasies by cutting out the wheelwells and stuffing wide tires underneath. But the seller of this 1966 GTO out of La Jolla, California, claims it has actual race history. Continue reading at Hemmings

Hemmings Find of the Day – Mild-Mannered Model T

Model Ts are, you know, Model Ts. They pretty much started it all, and they’ve been enshrined in the collector car guy’s collective consciousness as cultural institution, as jalopies, as restoration subjects, and as the basis for countless hot rods. So it takes something special to make one stand out from the crowd. This one, for sale out of Texarkana, Texas, for $35,000, all too easily blends in with the crowd of Model Ts for sale in Hemmings – until you lift the hood, that...
