Two Mercedes 300SL Coupes Where Something Went Very Wrong
in Classical Drives, on November 13, 2009
Is this 300SL the real thing or is it the product of some very skillful computer imaging? If someone did actually cut and section such a valuable car for the purpose of adding a back seat we have to admire the execution, though not the concept. Knowing how difficult it is to get into the front se...
Jaguar D-Type, a Most Beautiful Race Car
in Classical Drives, on November 11, 2009
The Jaguar D-Type was not only the fastest sports-prototype of the 1950s, it was the most beautiful. Curvaceous, purposeful and, for its period, very aerodynamic.

Uniquely Canadian Cars Star in 1950s Collection
in Classical Drives, on November 6, 2009
A couple of years ago I did a blog about Ted and Sharon Forbes and their remarkable collection of 1950s cars, but I really didn't do credit to these fine folks. It was a chilly winter's day and all the cars had to be photographed indoors, in the Forbe's garage. Not the best lighting, not much r...

For Some a First Car, for This Man a First Collectible
in Classical Drives, on October 28, 2009
This is not the kind of automobile that people rush to see when it's parked in a vintage car show. And if they did I suspect many of the younger folk in the audience, whose enthusiasm is limited to muscle cars, would wonder what all the fuss is about.
