* Over at the H.A.M.B., member mynameisnotpete just announced that Gene Winfield’s 1935 Ford shop truck recently resurfaced and is headed into the resto shop. Probably just as cool, he promises to keep posting updates as the restoration progresses. Probably not the greatest hot rod archaeological find of the century, but a significant one nonetheless.
* We’ve all seen that photo of the Tucker Sno-Cat on the Trans-Antarctic Expedition, straddling a chasm in a situation that seems rather hopeless. And we’ve all wondered whether that Sno-Cat’s still there, because it’s hard to imagine any way out of the situation. But Jesse, the just a car guy guy, recently found some home video from the expedition that shows just how the expedition members extricated the Sno-Cat from the chasm.
* Who wouldn’t want to hang out in an old warehouse, surrounded by cars and car buds? It’s like an adult version of the no-girls-allowed treehouses we built as kids, and a group of guys in San Francisco are making it a reality. Garage Magazine has the scoop on the Pirates Cove.
* We’ve known for a while that license plate collecting is a strong and integral part of the collector car hobby, and we’ve known that certain plates can bring in big dough. Now it seems Forbes (with a nose for stories with huge dollar amounts) has sniffed out the license plate collecting hobby.
* Finally, our friends over at the Collectors Weekly have been adding more and more collector car-related articles, and one of their most recent interviews was with Russ Grunewald, president of the Model T Ford Club of America, with some good insights into that slice of the collector car world.
