Things kind of come around again after a while, don’t they?
From University of North Texas Digital Library. Where they should know a thing or two about gas.
So once Dave let us know he had taken the photos of the shorty Voyager and that he had tossed the photos into the Flickr pool of Tastelessly or Strangely Modified Vehicles, well, there went my afternoon. As with many other aspects of life, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and I certainly treasured some of the photos in the pool, like Hugo90’s photos of the Monte (2, 3) taken at the 2007 Portland, Oregon, Microcar and Minicar Meet. According to Hugo’s captions,...
John Morrison sent along this picture of himself in 1955 clutching two of his favorite toy cars, and I could’ve sworn he somehow rifled through my parents’ family album and found a similar picture of me doing the same. Or of my father doing the same. Or of my brother doing the same. Y’know, I’d bet just about everybody reading this blog has a similar picture tucked away in their family album.
But John swears that’s him, clutching a

Whattsamatta, you gettin’ bored with all these GM cars and Mopars at the strip? Plug the ennui all by yourself. We’ll show you how, in a trio of photos from Labor Day weekend’s eighth edition of Musclepalooza at Lebanon Valley Dragway. It was a snap to find a trio of American Motors adherents banging heads on the bracket battlefield, and claiming the win column as well. First was this local guy rocking the gearbox in a completely unrestored S/C Rambler, as the rust spot on...
The Lost AMC Dealership series has kinda taken a back seat this summer, though we have received several submissions that we just haven’t taken the time to assemble into blog posts yet - our bad. But then Jim Kelly, the editor of Pacific Business News (a newspaper related to Hemmings through our common ownership by American City Business Journals), told us he had scheduled an interview with Bob Reierson, of Motor Supply in Honolulu, one of only five dealerships on Steven Clark’s...
Seems Farago has a problem with our Saturday shoutouts. Or maybe he just has a problem with the fact that we linked to Autoblog, his favorite punching bag. Or maybe he’s just decided to stop reviewing cars and start reviewing car websites; I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see with whom he’ll find umbrage next.
But as one of his commenters notes, blogs are a relatively new medium, still evolving, still sorting out what’s acceptable and what works. So rather than...
When Dave Dudek collected his G on Sunday, he got more than a real check: he also got the Happy Gilmore-style novelty check we’ve been schlepping around to ‘Ploozas for a couple of years now. Menneto will probably be all over us for actually giving it to someone, but it’s going to look a lot better in Dave’s garage than ours. Frankly, after being zip-tied to the barricade on the side of the drag strip for about 30 hours, it was getting a little greasy.
Dave has...
As always, we’ve returned from Musclepalooza with a metric truckload of photos, of both the extensive show and of the highly competitive drag racing, so further photos will be forthcoming. But we wanted to post this little bit of news: Dave Dudek in his Hemi-powered Road Runner dropped the F.A.S.T. record from its existing (and rather long-standing) 10.59 down to 10.54, and then in the very next round of racing, dropped it again…
…to 10.53. He then backed that e.t. up in the...
Holden 48-215, the first Australian-produced Holden automobile
While GM pretty much snoozes through its own centennial, it’s also given very little play to another rather important anniversary this year: the 60th of the Holden 48-215. Most Americans pay little attention to the modest car, based on a discarded post-war 
Maybe a year ago, I wrote a column for Hemmings Classic Car admitting that for me, watching cars like the one in the photo race on dirt tracks has been a longtime guilty pleasure. Yes, a lot of pre-war coupes, including this one, got diced, in more ways than one, to become dirt-track Modifieds in the Northeast. This car was built by Lee Taylor and driven by the late Dick Havens at East Windsor, Flemington and Harmony speedways in New Jersey, winning track titles at both Flemington and Harmony....Created in 2,7584390640259 seconds
