Nuvolari, Greatest of All Grand Prix Racers, Honoured in New Artwork
in Classical Drives, on January 30, 2009
Michael Schumaker, Ayrton Senna, Jimmy Clark, Juan Fangio... if your acquaintance with Grand Prix race drivers is limited to contemporary heroes you may not be aware of Tazio Nuvolari . In the postwar years, and shortly after, Nuvolari was feted as the finest of them all. Dr. Ferdinand Porsc...
Fairfield Concours Highlights 60 Years of Racing at Watkins Glen
in Classical Drives, on September 4, 2008
For me, as a young enthusiast, Watkins Glen was the Valhalla of road racing, the place I wanted to be when the annual weekend festival occurred. The circuit was superbly located in the hills above scenic Seneca Lake and the atmosphere was exhilarating. Even the main street would be lined with spo...
Russo and Steele Announces Scottsdale Auction Results
in Classical Drives, on January 27, 2008
Russo and Steele's Scottsdale auction is traditionally a little different from its competitors, as the firm specialises in muscle cars, hot rods, customs, and European sports cars. Located at the intersection of the Loop 101 Freeway and Scottsdale Road, in North Scottsdale, the event was he...
Classics Take to Road and Waters in Texas Show
in Classical Drives, on April 2, 2007
Can it be a year since I last wrote about the "Keels and Wheels Concours & Auction" ? My, how time flies by! Here it is 2007, we're all one year older (and supposedly wiser) and again I take pleasure in encouraging our "down south" viewers to visit this event at Seabr...
Festivals of Speed Features Classic Cars and Aircraft, Florida Sunshine
in Classical Drives, on March 20, 2007
My computer desk faces a window, thus permitting me to look outside when I'm not staring at the keyboard. Although it's green year-round here in Sidney-by-the-Sea, BC, the winter sky is normally grey, which can leave one yearning for the sun. So you'll forgive me if I'm envious of...
GM Proving Grounds Lost to Housing Development
in Classical Drives, on January 3, 2007
During the late 80's I was hired to write and direct three videos telling the tale of how the all-new Buick Regal, Olds Cutlass, and Pontiac Grand Prix were developed. These cars were said to be crucial to GM's future. (The videos must have helped a little, for GM is still with us.) The cr...
Caught: The Day of the Eagle
in Classical Drives, on December 18, 2006
American cars have seldom done well in Formula One though it's not for lack of trying. UK artist Paul Dove has superbly caught one of those few magic moments with his painting of Dan Gurney winning at Spa, Belgium, in 1967. Gurney is at the wheel of his own F1 Eagle-Weslake in its one-and-only vi...
Classic Boats Share Show Space With Classic Cars
in Classical Drives, on August 31, 2006
It isn't every day that you'll see classic boats displayed at car shows but it isn't unusual, either. No water handy? Bring them on trailers. Which is exactly what Riva, the legendary Italian boat builder , did at the 2006 Concorso Italiano in Monterey. The Rivas were, however, brand new, as...
50-Year-Old Plymouth to be Exhumed, But Will it Shine?
in Classical Drives, on August 1, 2006
In 2007 a gold-and-white 2-door 1957 Plymouth belvedere hardtop will rise from the grave and be presented to the person (or their heirs), who most accurately predicted, back in '57, the population of Tulsa, Oklahoma half a century later. The Plymouth was buried in a time capsule to celebra...
