1954 Buick Skylark. More Beautiful Than a 48 Roadmaster?

in Classical Drives, on July 10, 2009

A few days ago I posted a blog about the styling of the post-war Buick Roadmaster (although a convertible was shown, it's the fastback that really turns my crank). It was, and still is, one of my favorites. However my good friend and former test drive buddy Colin Hefferon checked me up on t...

My Favorite Buick, a Roadmaster at RM's Meadowbrook Auction

in Classical Drives, on June 22, 2009

Of all the vintage Buicks that I admire, perhaps none are as close to my heart as the immediate pre-war Roadmasters. The long hood, sweeping fenders and chrome-bedecked grilles do it for me, especially knowing there's a mellow inline-eight at my command. I drove one only once, during an Onta...

Hedge Funds Up & Social Media Footprint Expansion

in The Hedge Funds Weblog, on June 16, 2009

" Hedge funds finished up 4.06% in May , capturing the largest monthly gains since February 2000." Oliver Schupp, President of Credit Suisse Index, said, "Emerging Markets funds were the strongest performers, finishing up 6.96%. The Emerging Markets sector has experienced a signif...

It's Not Called a Sunroof for Nothing

in Classical Drives, on June 8, 2009

Summer, for those of us who live up north, is special. It raises hopes for the future, gets us outdoors, even encourages a change of wardrobe. It's also the beginning of the sunroof season. Thus I'm about to have a hole cut into my 2003 Focus ZX5 so that a pop-up sunroof can be fitted. Am...

RM Offers Rarely Seen Chrysler Airflow Coupe at Meadow Brook

in Classical Drives, on June 3, 2009

It's not unusual to spot a Chrysler Airflow (or its DeSoto sibling) at an auction. Normally these would be 4-door sedans, much maligned for their unpopular "streamlined design." Often forgotten is that the Airflow was also available as a 2-door, which makes the appearance of this 19...

in Classical Drives, on June 1, 2009

Vancouver All British Show Highlight No. 5: 1934 Aston Martin Mk II

in Classical Drives, on May 27, 2009

The modern Aston Martins are so spectacular we sometimes forget that the legendary British marque has a long and noble history, dating back to 1914 when Old Etonian Lionel Martin built a car to drive in the Aston Clinton hillclimb. During the 1920s and 1930s, Aston Martin sports cars were renow...

The Capri, Europe's Ford Mustang and BMW Beater

in Classical Drives, on May 8, 2009

Ah, the Ford Capri! The handsome coupe was Europe's version of the Mustang, built from components of British Ford sedans, just as the former was constructed from Falcon part bins. This year marks the Capri's 40th anniversary, nearly two-million having been produced during its 18-year run....

Chevrolet Bel Air Honours LA Residential Enclave

in Classical Drives, on May 4, 2009

Bel Air! The name had a magic ring to it in those years, for Bel Air was a wealthy and gated residential community in the Westside hills of Los Angeles, and thus an appropriate model name for Chevrolet, then seeking to upgrade its image. In 1954 Chevrolet's lead over rival Ford had been a mer...

GM Drops Pontiac, Journalists Miss the Point

in carzz.org, on April 29, 2009

By now the entire world, or least the world that actually cares, will be aware that General Motors will soon close the lid on its long-time Pontiac marque . Note that I said "marque" not "brand," the latter being a marketing maven's method of reducing a great product to j...

PeeWee Tablet PC Is Too Good For My Kids

in The Gadgets Weblog, on April 29, 2009

My kids are pretty computer savvy; I would even say that they know more than most adults that I work with. One day soon I will probably get them on their own PC. Unfortunately, the PeeWee Tablet probably will not be their PC. It would be the perfect machine if it weren't for the price. Th...

So you've just found the classic car of your dreams, negotiated a fair price, and need to ship it home. Except that you live in Bellingham, WA and the car is in Sarasota, FL. How do you find the best price without spending hours on the phone haggling with folks you've never met? The "...

Porsche Panamera Makes World Debut in China

in carzz.org, on April 22, 2009

Porsche has officially launched the Panamera, its first 4-door sedan. The company chose the Shanghai Motor Show as the world stage, an indication of just how important it views the Chinese market. Like many automobile journalists I had reservations about Porsche making a sedan, however sporty i...

Coming to Pebble Beach? Leave the Golf Clubs at Home

in Classical Drives, on April 8, 2009

I mean no offence but does the circus that has become the Monterey/Pebble Beach week really need another auction? Dana Mecum apparently thinks so, for his organisation has just announced that Mecum's Monterey Auction will take place on Saturday, August 15, 2009, from 12-5 p.m. at the Hyatt...

Two Cadillacs, 32 Cylinders, One Great Moment

in Classical Drives, on March 12, 2009

Sometimes it takes a concours d'elegance to remind us of Cadillac's former greatness. Especially when two V-16s appear at the same show, as happened at the 2009 Desert Classic in Palm Springs. In 1933 Cadillac announced that it would build 400 cars with V-16 engines. No less than 70 bod...

Our Favorite Volvo Takes to the Road in Palm Springs

in Classical Drives, on March 9, 2009

Classic cars in museums may be impressive but seeing them on the road, complete with vintage sound effects, is a real treat. That's one very good reason why the organisers of the 2009 Palm Springs Desert Classic decided to include a tour on the day preceding the Concours. And that's whe...

David Hobbs, Lloyd Ruby, Amazing Phantom Corsair, Highlight Amelia Island Concours

in Classical Drives, on March 4, 2009

More Fun at Pismo Beach This Summer as 24th Annual Show Unfolds

in Classical Drives, on March 2, 2009

While the great concours of this world are a pleasure to attend they're rather formal and definitely hands-off. Local shows, on the other hand, can be more fun, with owners eager to chat and willing to let you get up close to their cars. The 2009 Classic at Pismo Beach is a local show but i...

Another step to nationalization?

in Sox First, on February 24, 2009

Pontiac, Great Indian and GM Chief, Soon to be Buried

in carzz.org, on February 18, 2009

Pontiac, it's sad to see you go. You were a renowned American marque with a history that includes many distinguished models since your 20s inception as a replacement for the Oakland. Unfortunately, General Motors, as part of its restructuring plan, sees fit to drop you and focus on its core b...

Floating the Yuan: Be Careful What You Wish For

in China Venture News, on February 9, 2009

Mark Sunshine had an interesting piece at Seeking alpha last week. He says that if the Chinese let the yuan float freely, there's a good chance it would fall in value. And that would make Chinese goods cheaper . The value of the yuan became more of an issue a few weeks ago with the confi...

Design Revolution, BMW Style

in Classical Drives, on February 6, 2009

Here, in all its black-and-white glory, is one of my favorite classic sedans, the BMW 1800, also known in Europe as the Neue Klasse.

2go Classmate PC is First Netbook to Tempt Me

in The Gadgets Weblog, on January 13, 2009

I have seen Netbook PC's and none have them have done a thing for me. They are too small for me to consider practical and too expensive to consider an impulse buy. They have done nothing to tempt me away from a light and portable 13 inch MacBook. This has changed as of today with the availab...

Das Concept Car Voting - Die Zukunft des Automobils

in Das AutoWeblog, on January 12, 2009

Die Automobilindustrie steht am Scheideweg: Die Absatzzahlen sinken oder stagnieren bestenfalls, die Autokäufer sind sehr zurückhaltend und Produktionen stehen still. Es fehlen Serienmodelle mit zukunftsorientierten, effizienten Antrieben, obwohl es an Ideen und Konzepten nicht mangelt. Auf meinen R...

Why We Should Love the All-American Car

in Classical Drives, on December 17, 2008

The business coupe is a relic from another era, beginning in the late 30s and ending in the early 50s. Those were the years of the traveling salesman who carried samples and deliverable goods as he drove from town-to-town in his allotted territory. The trunk was mostly needed for the salesman'...

Among all the great engines the auto industry has produced, Ford's "flathead" V-8 has to be rated among the best. Though neither sophisticated nor powerful in stock form, it brought V-8 smoothness to the low-price field when it was first introduced in the 1932 Model B. The flathead ...

Chrysler Sebring Declared the World's Worst Car

in Classical Drives, on October 6, 2008

Bugatti Atalante Coupe: Beautiful Car, Ultimate Extravagance
