Tiny Hot Rod On eBay: Crosley Panel Wagon

By Jen Dunnaway Editor I don't know if this is a sign of the times or what—even hot rods are going micro. The seller doesn't mention the displacement of this Crosley's miniature 70 hp four-banger, but claims that the power-to-weight ratio on this tiny ride gives it the power equivalent of a "300 hp sports car." That'd supposedly put it nearly on par with our Bullitt Mustang. Which do you think would win in the quarter-mile?

The Lowest Country Squire You'll Ever See

By John Coyle Editor Most people wouldn't look at an '80s Country Squire and decide to make it a project, but Billy clearly isn't most people. In addition to the slight drop and electric blue paint, he's added a banging system and some seriously trick tail lights from a '59 Caddy to the mix—and he's not even done yet! The real kicker? This former mom-mobile is also  his daily driver. How rad is that? Head over to his page and vote him up!

The Next Model T?

By Ron aka WayTooFurious I love innovation in the automotive industry, even more so when it comes from my part of the world, Australia. The country that gave you the Ute now presents the winner of the Ford Global Challenge. It's been a hundred years since the Model T helped to change the world, and to mark the occasion, the Ford Motor Company invited six schools from around the world to present concepts for a car that embodies the essence of the Model T, 100 years later: the new car would...

Toyota Supports JCCS

We often give Toyota a hard time about not doing enough for the enthusiast (especially old school ones) here at JNC, but we’re glad when the Big T proves us wrong. Toyota recently sent an email out to its e-subscribers about this Sunday’s Japanese Classic Car Show. They also posted the article on their Behind the Wheel website. Notice that they cut out the other cars (except the Corolla) from the flyer. Ha ha, just kidding. Unlike Nissan, Toyota is an official sponsor of the...

Test your knowledge of automotive history Part 3

I guess those last few questions were too easy, because they were all answered quickly. So we will move on to the next round of questions from Jim Hill’s pop quiz. PS. We did not have the advantage of the Hemmings research library, or google search or wikipedia on the cruise ship so these questions were pretty tough for the staff as well as the cruisers. 13. What company made wagons before they made sedans? 14. Whose company slogan was “Boss of the Road” and when was it first...

Tuning: Opel Astra GTC von JMS

Wieder mal Ziel einer Tuning-Werkstatt: der Opel Astra GTC, der von JMC individuell angepasst wurde. Tieferlegung durch neues Gewindefahrwerk und Aerodynamik-Kit sind wohl die größten Auffälligkeiten beim Betrachten des Rüsselsheimer Automobils.

Test your knowledge of automotive history Part 2

We have had a few correct answers to the first posting but we are still waiting for others. In the meantime, here are a few more: 7. What automobile company was started by JW and WD Packard (Hint: Not the most obvious answer). 8. What car ran so well when it was on “All in the Family”? 9. What were called the “3 Ps” considered as the finest cars of their time? 10. Who was Mercedes from the name Mercedes-Benz? Mercedes SLR McLaren model 722, zero to sixty in 3.6 seconds,...

Top Gear Australia Not Doing So Hot

By John Coyle Editor While the blokes on Top Gear Australia don't have the hilarious interplay of their British brethren, in all fairness, it takes time to develop such seasoned report. But judging from the ratings, the Aussies will have to shape up quick—or they might not get a the time to settle into their dressing rooms. Just under a million viewers caught the premiere, which isn't bad, but a quarter of those choose not to tune in for the next episode, which is. Personally, I think this...

the ugliest vintage cars ever: stutz bearcat 72 - a car like a transvestite

in the 70´s a company in the usa started manufacturing the “stutz blackhawk” and “stutz bearcat” - the most ugly car you could buy for a lot of money (120.000$) for quite a long time… elvis, sammy davis jr., jerry lewis, elton john, dean martin and much more celebreties - and those who wanted to be noticed - bought sutz cars. this could be the reason, why this totally overblingblinged fake sidepiped retrofuturecrossover something never appears in any “ugliest...

thank you Matt Litwin - car ads from 1972

When researching articles, we often dig back through the buff books for road test information on the cars we’re writing about today, and Associate Editor Matt Litwin’s substantial collection of old car magazines has saved our bacon numerous times. And, of course, we end up losing an hour with each mag he brings in as we flip through the old car ads in each issue. So I thought I’d share some of the fun with all of the full-page car ads (and one bike ad) from the June 1972...

THE 101>>SOCAL CAR CULTURE

Right now I am here sitting in my Japanese apartment about 5,000 miles away from Los Angeles, there are GT-R's and fixed up Chasers cruising around outside, but I am inside thinking about SoCal. I'm not sure if it's a case of being homesick, as I hail not hail from SoCal itself, but from Fresno which is a couple hours to the north. Nonetheless, my parents grew up there and through my numerous trips there, I have seen plenty of the the car-crazed place that is Southern California....

Test your knowledge of automotive history.

Richard Lentinello explaining why the wife’s good bedsheets make a perfect restoration tool for laying out all your parts before reassembly. During the recent Hemmings Cruise, the staff gave a few seminars on the days when the ship was out to sea. One of the cruisers was Jim Hill from the Packard Source List who has been on several Hemmings cruises in the past. On our first day of seminars, Jim passed out a quiz on automotive history for everyone to take a crack at. The test had 41...

The wonder of temporary style

One of the things that constantly amaze us is the anger generated when someone modifies their car.  It is even more baffling when someone has done something that is temporary to their car that is should raise people’s hackles. Take for example this E28 BMW that has been on a few forums this week : It has, as is the fashion, a rusty bonnet, a roof rack and various other "rat" touches.  For some reason this has caused sections of the retro community to decry it for ruining the car,...
