About.com Rejects Mystery Classic Cars

So far I've managed to avoid adding a "mystery car" category to this site, perhaps because of an earlier incident when I was Cars Guide for About.com . The lady who produced About's vintage car site included a mystery car every week which, for some strange reason, really annoyed the autos editor...

Kudos to Kentucky: the Derby and the Concours

I've never been to Kentucky but I have at least visited nearby Virginia as a guest of Jaguar on a new car test drive. If the Bluegrass State is just as lovely, and I believe it must be, then we can all appreciate Nigel Matthews' remarks following his role as a judge at a recent Kentucky concours....

Finally: A Triumph for the Stag

Thanks to a blog in the latest Hemmings newsletter I've become aware that Englishman John Macartney has successfully driven a restored Triumph Stag across North America. The Stag left Florida on June 27, and crossed the finish line in San Luis Obispo, California, this past Sunday after meet...

Saturn, We Hardly Knew You

As everyone interested in cars is aware by now, Saturn has vanished from the auto-universe. Roger Penske had hoped to keep the marque alive but even the king of racing and rental trucks was unable to find a supplier willing to provide product suitable for re-branding. Perhaps it's just as w...

A Rainy Day Keeps No One Away at the Steamworks Concours

Who are these people and why are they wandering around in the rain when they could be inside enjoying a coffee and a croissant? Spectators at the 2009 Steamworks Concours d'Elegance in Vancouver, BC, that's who. Weatherwise it was a dreary weekend but our Nigel Matthews was on hand as a...

The End of an Era: 1972 Corvette Convertible Model from the Franklin Mint

For anyone who admires Corvettes, this new 1:24 die-cast 1972 Corvette Convertible model from the Franklin Mint is a "must have." Model year '72 marked the end of an era for the ultimate American sports car, as those distinctive front and rear chrome bumpers made their last appearan...

Voyager en Afrique du Sud en voiture de location, c’est agréable et pas cher!

© timparkinson Du 11 juin au 11 juillet 2010, les projecteurs du monde entier se braqueront sur la coupe du monde de football et le pays qui l'héberge. Car la compétition se tiendra pour la première fois sur le continent africain, en Afrique du Sud. Mais, que vous soyez fan de foot en r...

New Mini Coupé Concept Misses the Mark

I'm going to come right out and say it, even at the risk of antagonising Mini fans everywhere: this new Mini Coupé concept misses the mark on styling. In fact, I wonder why we need it at all since the normal Mini offers the same thing with the useful addition of a back seat. Nevertheless I ...

American Motors AMX, the GT That Could Have Been

Old Cars Weekly has a lovely tale of an American Motors 1970 AMX in its weekly newsletter, which I highly recommend reading. But first some personal recollections. The AMX was an American Motors attempt to get the jump on its pony car competitors by creating a short-wheelbase 2-seat GT tourer ...

Franzosen TT? Peugeot zeigt RCZ Hybrid4 auf der IAA 2009

Zugegeben sieht das neue Coupé aus dem Hause Peugeot dem Audi TT doch recht ähnlich, dennoch (oder vielleicht gerade deswegen) muss ich sagen: Es ist der coolste Peugeot, den ich seit langem zu Gesicht bekommen habe! Auch die Leistungsdaten sind ansprechend und lassen auf recht viel Fahrspaß sch...

Shelby Daytona, Ferrari 250 GT, Jaguar C-Type Top Monterey Auctions

What first began as an elegant concours d'elegance on the golf club lawns of Pebble Beach has recently become a bonanza for collector car auctioneers. One-by-one they've muscled into the show until now it's not who brings the most beautiful or historically interesting automobile but wh...

Neuer Porsche Turbo mit 500 PS

Ich hatte es gestern schon angekündigt: heute gibts wieder etwas mit viel PS und rauchenden Auspuff... etwa einen Monat vor der offiziellen Veröffentlichung sind erste Videos im Web aufgetaucht. Tja, was soll man sagen? Es ist wieder ein richtiger 911er, bei dem es schon beim Zuschauen auf 640x480 P...

Delahaye, Packard, Auburn: Winners at Meadow Brook Concours and RM Auction

When close to 10,000 automotive aficionados gathered on the grounds of Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester, Michigan this past Sunday they were treated to a magnificent array of over 230 collector cars and vintage motorcycles from twenty-five states and Canada. There are really no losers in such a col...

The Kaiser-Frazer That Never Was? Or Was This the Pride of Willow Run?

The October 2009 issue of Collectible Automobile has a fascinating profile of carleton Spencer, who was in charge of interior colors and materials for Kaiser-Frazer from the company's beginnings in 1946 to its sad end in 1955. Spencer took exception to the drab, monotonous interiors of...

Celebrating Fifty Years of an Enthusiast-Built Race Track

If you live in an area of the US or Canada that happens to be far from the Pacific Northwest the name "Westwood" may not ring any bells. But for folks in BC, Washington, Idaho and Oregon, Vancouver's long-lost road race circuit remains a boatload of memories. It was carved out of th...

Porsche Power Matches Canadian Steam

This is a favorite photo from a long-time history as an automobile journalist. I'm including it here because many of my fellow old car enthusiasts share an appreciation of classic railway trains, especially when pulled by steam engines. The photo was taken in 1961. The Porsche 356B coupe ...

Early Birds Featured in Pontiac Firebird Search

Almost forgotten among the thousands of currently available muscle cars is the original Firebird . Pontiac enthusiasts tend to overlook it because the base engine is a six rather than a V-8 but in doing so they miss the significance of that early Bird. This was no ordinary six. Influenced by E...

1954 Buick Skylark. More Beautiful Than a 48 Roadmaster?

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 ...

Samsonite Convertible Trolley Stroller Bag

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

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

" 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

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

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...

Buy Yourself a Piece of Racing History

As Pebble Beach 2009 approaches, the great classic car show looks more and more like a competition between auctions and special events. Gooding & Company is on the pole with the Don Lyons Collection . Consisting of seven automobiles, it focuses on Indy racing and spans nearly 80 years of mot...

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

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...

Shelby Daytona Coupe in klassischer LeMans Edition

The Capri, Europe's Ford Mustang and BMW Beater

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....

Coming: The Best British Car Show This Side of Britain

The UK's auto industry may be a mere shadow of its past but all over the world you'll find enthusiasts keen to own, restore, or just admire a British car. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Name notwithstanding, the attraction probably has some...

Chevrolet Bel Air Honours LA Residential Enclave

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

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

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...

How to Ship Your Classic Car Home

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

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

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...

AMI 2009: Wie gefällt euch die neue E-Klasse?

Two Cadillacs, 32 Cylinders, One Great Moment

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

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

What makes the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance different is that the show features personalities as well as classic automobiles. Each year it invites famed racing drivers of the past to greet the spectators and participate in seminars. For the 2009 event on March 13-15, veteran racer Dav...

Introducing The New Fiat C500. The Only Thing Better Than a Fiat 500

When Chrysler announced it's co-op arrangement with Fiat, small car enthusiasts from coasts-to-borders in the US and Canada rejoiced. Finally, they'd get access to the Fiat 500 , grandchild of those delightful small Fiats of the 60s and 70s. Few of the originals found their way into Nort...

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

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?

Is Obama clearing the way for the nationalization of US banks? Look carefully at the joint statement put out this week by Treasury, FDIC, OCC, OTS and the Federal Reserve. "Any government capital will be in the form of mandatory convertible preferred shares, which would be converted int...

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

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

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

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. It made a huge impression on me during my young years as a Canadian auto magazine editor when the only BMWs I was then aware of were the Isetta and the little Miche...

The Truth About Classic Car Auctions

Tucking the Roof to Build a Tucker Convertible

2go Classmate PC is First Netbook to Tempt Me

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

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...

Arizona. More Than Just Collector Car Auctions

Philip Powell's 2009 Classic Car Predictions

Why We Should Love the All-American Car

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'...

Gathering of the Flathead Fords in Florida

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 ...

Audi A5 Cabrio - lässt den A4 vergessen

How Long Until EVERYONE Has a Store in Second Life?

Four or five years ago I read a newspaper article about a grocery store in Blacksburg, Va., where you could pick out your items on a website, pay with a credit card, and drive down to there store and pick them up.

Rent a Karmann Ghia Type 34 For a European Journey? Coming Soon

Several cars in history have been labeled "the poor man's Porsche" but only one has the proper genes: the Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia Type 34. It's a rare day when you'll see one in a club event and an even rarer day when you'll spot one on the road. So imagine trying to ren...
