* Retrofuturism’s one of those things I’d love to explore further if I had the time. Along with atompunk and jetpunk and all the other ways one can celebrate the forward-thinking optimism of the middle of the century without falling into the rockabilly trap. Anyway. Professor Michael Stoll of Hochschule Augsburg has uploaded a wonderful collection of Syd Mead retrofuturistic renderings (and so has GrainEdit.com), commissioned by U.S. Steel in the early 1960s.

On a recent photo trip through southern New England, Litwin and I passed a real neat building on Route 1 in Westerly, Rhode Island, with a couple old old Buick-

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:

I can see this plate just fine, thank you.
Due to a possible defect in the original manufacture of some of the current New York State license plates, some people at the Capitol in Albany, including the governor, have decided it is time for every vehicle registered in New York to get a brand spanking new license plate next year.
Oh, by the way, that will only cost you a one-time $25 issuance fee unless you have a vanity plate, then it will cost you $45. And these costs are over and above the...
Rum runner? Given the location – Dobson, North Carolina – the black paint and the hop-up parts, that’s certainly a possibility. From the seller’s description:

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...
In my RSS reader, I have a number of blogs for automotive news, a number of blogs for general automotive interest, and I have several blogs for automotive inspiration. David Black’s Vintage Sports Car Review is one of the latter, and he recently got the gears in my skull turnin’ with the photos he posted of the Sadler Mk. 1, which, according to Harold Pace in “Vintage American Road Racing Cars, 1950-1969,” was the first effort by Canadian Bill Sadler to build his own...
I have a very thoughtful friend who keeps an eye out for interesting automotive books on my behalf. Among the gems she gave me for my most recent birthday was this very original publication, “Printed March 1st, 1923″: Repair Manual for Star Motor Cars, issued by STAR MOTORS, Inc., New York, N.Y.
This 147 page softcover is in remarkable condition for its age and intended purpose, and it’s filled with wonderful illustrations and diagrams.
Need to know how to check your...
So late last week, Mopar announced a bunch of new crate engines – aluminum-block 6.1-liter Hemi, aluminum-block 426 Hemi, 572-inch version of the new Hemi, 4.7-liter Jeep six-cylinder…
Mopar will also introduce a new 4.7-liter I-6 Stroker long block, a
powerful upgrade for the 4.0-liter I-6 made famous in Jeep vehicles built from 1991-2006. Because off-road enthusiasts appreciated the dependability and performance of the previous 4.0-liter engine, Mopar developed a more powerful...
As promised, we offer some additional photos from Australian car shows with a definite American car influence. These shots were taken by our friend Rhonda Martinez at the Custom Hot Rod Show in Newstead, Victoria, on October 4. My favorite is the rat rod pickup truck, but the finned 
Seriously? Matt Lauer? Does Matt Lauer even have a fan club? From the seller’s description:
This 1966 Morris Minor Mini Cooper Traveller is Red with a Red Interior. 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. The paint, in its original color, and wood are refinished and excellent. The interior is completely original and in beautiful condition. It is...
Way back in April, I scored what was likely several hundred pounds of Buick 401 nailhead parts at the Charlotte Auto Fair for the stunningly low sum of $100. A refresher, the five crates of material included a couple of intake manifolds, a set of cylinder heads, a pair of rocker arm shaft assemblies, water manifold, Delcotron (better known as the alternator) and its bracket, distributor, starter, three power steering reservoirs and their brackets, rocker arm covers, exhaust manifolds, water...
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)....
The talent and craftsmanship of some of our fellow automotive hobbyists never ceases to amaze us.
We were recently introduced to Gary Tatman, of Glen Burnie, Maryland. Gary has created some incredibly detailed carvings of famous racing sports cars and Formula One cars like the Created in 2,1686639785767 seconds
