* 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.

* It’s amazing what rabbit holes the Internet can lead you down. A post on Off Road Action, pointing to an article on Off-Road.com, regarding Suzuki’s four-wheel-drive history, led to LJ10.com, which celebrates vintage Suzuki four-bys, which led to pics of Jeff Simons’ 1988 Samurai done up General Lee style, and eventually to the above wicked pissah photo.

* According to Jim, over at Route 66 Chronicles, the Old Trails Garage in Kingman, Arizona (near the intersection of Third and Andy Devine), will soon be restored. Don’t know if they’re headed back to the above-pictured configuration, but they could certainly do worse.
* Finally, the Michael Paul Smith photos from a few weeks ago certainly grabbed your attention, and Blog dos Carros Antigos has added a few more of those amazing photos.
