Alfa Romeo 6c 2500, an e-Bay Best Buy

in Classical Drives, on November 30, 2009

Let's face it, you can't beat e-Bay if you enjoy window shopping for cars. The imagination soars and the wallet stays where it is. Good, harmless fun, right? But every so often one jumps off the screen and shouts "buy me!" Such a car is this 1942 Alfa Romeo 6c 2500 Sport Convertible (though I w...

CanAm Revival! The World's Most Spectacular Road Racing Series, Now on DVD

in Classical Drives, on November 27, 2009

Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s there existed a kind of road racing unlike any other before or since. It was called the CanAm Challenge Cup and featured many of the finest drivers from Europe and North America at the wheel of brutally fast machines. These spectacular sports-racers were vir...

Mein Lieblingstrend in diesem Herbst sind Vintage-Schnürstiefeletten. Ich habe das Glück, dass ich noch welche aus dem Jahr 1997 habe. Natürlich ist das ein Trend, der auf den vielen Streetstyle-Blogs zu finden ist und den sich die Labels vorgenommen haben. Man kann diese Art also in jedem g...

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. But the 1928 Essex appeals to me because it l...

About.com Rejects Mystery Classic Cars

in Classical Drives, on October 16, 2009

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...

Finally: A Triumph for the Stag

Goodwood Snapshots Through the Lens of a Pocket-Size Digital Camera

in Classical Drives, on October 2, 2009

As mentioned in the previous blog a long-awaited visit to the Goodwood Revival turned into a major disappointment. My brother and I misjudged the time it would take to drive from the town of Bingen in Germany to the Cologne airport and consequently missed our flight to London. Because the next ...

My Goodwood Revival Goes Bust

in Classical Drives, on September 30, 2009

To those of you waiting patiently for my report from the Goodwood Revival, apologies. A comedy of errors (though it wasn't funny at the time) resulted in your reporter missing the first day's racing, failing to acquire his reserved grandstand seat, then wandering around totally confused o...

A Rainy Day Keeps No One Away at the Steamworks Concours

in Classical Drives, on September 28, 2009

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

in Classical Drives, on September 25, 2009

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...

Daimler's Sensational New Car Fails to Awe Parisians

in Classical Drives, on September 22, 2009

For France and for the world, 1889 was quite the year. Gustave Eiffel's wondrous wrought iron tower had opened to an awed public. Paris held its World Exposition. The electric light bulb was a new innovation and was used to illuminate many of the exhibition stands, including that of Gottli...

Was This Man the Real Designer of the VW Beetle?

in Classical Drives, on September 11, 2009

From time to time rumours circulate that Professor Porsche was not the actual designer of the Beetle. Even Hitler, when he approached him to develop a "People's Car," provided sketches that resembled the car's final shape. But now comes a book by Dutch author and historian Paul ...

Oldest and Longest-Loved Pontiacs Meet at Fairfield County Concours d’Elegance

in Classical Drives, on September 9, 2009

Coming up next weekend is a concours I'd like to someday attend, if only because it's located in an area I admire almost as much as my BC locale. (The two are similar though Vancouver Island has the edge in weather.) The Fairfield County Concours d'Elegance of Westport, CT, held on ...

Discovering the Beauty of Vintage Trucks

in Classical Drives, on September 7, 2009

I confess that I've never taken much interest in trucks except to briefly admire one that's been nicely restored. It's just that trucks were never part of my so-called lifestyle. However I did, briefly, have a job delivering fur coats in a panel delivery, until one day the hood flew o...

1967 Dodge Pickup Concept, So Far Advanced it's Still the Truck of Tomorrow

in Classical Drives, on September 6, 2009

When I first saw the above image I almost fell off my chair (which at my age can be hazardous). This spectacular custom, the 1967 Dodge Deora, appeared to vindicate what I've been saying for years: that the conventional American pickup's proportional efficiency sucks because of its three-...

Missing From Modern Auto Advertising: The Power of Illustration

in Classical Drives, on August 31, 2009

In the longest of my several careers I was an advertising copywriter and, later, creative director, working mostly on car accounts. At the time we depended on photography to show the cars, as is the case today. I wouldn't have even considered illustrations. Now, older and slightly wiser, I...

The Citroen SM (Sports Maserati). Maserati Asks “Why Me, Lord?”

in Classical Drives, on August 26, 2009

Why is it that some attempts to combine technology and design succeed and others don't? And why does it always seem to involve Maserati? The ill-fated Chrysler-Maserati is an unfortunate example, though the Italian manufacturer was not at fault. But if Detroit was merely attempting to trade o...

American Motors AMX, the GT That Could Have Been

in Classical Drives, on August 24, 2009

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 ...

Pebble Beach 2009 Winner Horch, a Name Hardly Known

in Classical Drives, on August 21, 2009

Outside of the dedicated classic car fraternity I doubt you'll find one North American in a thousand who'd recognise the name of the 1937 Horch 853 Voll & Ruhrbeck Sport Cabriolet. Indeed, they wouldn't even know that Horch is a car. And yet it has a fascinating history. August ...

The Beauty of Street Shows, as Seen at Blethering Place

in Classical Drives, on August 19, 2009

While everyone is "oohing" and "awing" over the classics at Pebble Beach I would like to draw your attention to an expanding niche I call "Street Shows." Instead of displaying cars on the lush greeneries of golf courses and public parks, places where an automobile wo...

The Tour d' Sound at Pebble Beach

Watching Alvis, a Very Romantic Motor Car

in Classical Drives, on August 12, 2009

A Century of Suzuki, Well Worth Celebrating

in Classical Drives, on July 27, 2009

It isn't often that we automobile journalists recognise Japanese makes when writing about vintage automobiles. Probably because most Japanese manufacturers grew from unspectacular beginnings. No great art deco classics, no muscle cars, little participation in motor racing (Honda aside). To ap...

Style and Speed in America: Rare Jaguar C-Type to be Auctioned

in Classical Drives, on July 24, 2009
