From the seller's description: Completely restored with new chrome, full original , absolutely all new parts from S...Read More Automotive publisher Chet Krause dies at 92 Posted by Jim Donnelly - Chet Krause at Iola in 2013. Photo courtesy John Gunnell. Chet Krause spent his entire life in Iola, Wisconsin, where he got his start tearing down Ford Model Ts for salable parts. He bootstrapped those experiences into a long line of books and magazines aimed at hobbyists, mainly of the automotive variety. Krause died Saturday in Iola, having suffered from worsening congestive heart failure, at the age of 92. He left a literary legacy that will endure forever. It began in 1952 when Krause began publishing a m...Read More Midweek Matinee: Knights on the Highway, 1938 Posted by Ed Heys - All photos are frame grabs from video below. With a sleep-inducing introduction awkwardly read from cue cards by Murray, then-president of the American Road Builders' Association, we wonder if the Jam Handy film crew might have scheduled this particular gem after hours. Way after. Even the good dispatcher looks as if he's nodding off, though an alert Trucker Joe seems to have his wits about him.

McCourt - Images are from the brochure collection of Hemmings Motor News Ford secured the Thunderbird's future for decades to come when it debuted the second generation in 1958. This small, six-panel fold-out brochure is dated "1/58" and exclusively highlights the new fixed-roof Hardtop model, rather than showing both that and the traditional Convertible; the 1958 Hardtop would eventually outsell the contemporary Convertible by a large margin, moving 35,758 units to the Convertible's 2,134, with these four-seaters' combine...Read More Ferndale, Michigan, 1950s Posted by Daniel Strohl - According to captions that follow this photo around the Internet, we're in Ferndale - specifically just west of the intersection of Nine Mile and Woodward - sometime during the Fifties. And if we check out the modern-day street view of the location, we can surmise that the photo was taken from the top of what is now the Ferndale Arts Building. But that's all pretty dry - we need some stories and some color to go along with the scene. So tell us what you see here?...Read More THIS DAY IN AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY 6/30/1953: The first production Corvette is driven off the assembly line. 6/30/1969: Last Rambler rolls off assembly line UPCOMING EVENTS 34th Annual Arthritis Foundation Classic Auto Show July 7, 2016 - Dublin, OH Iola Car Show July 7, 2016 - Iola, WI Portland Vintage Racing Festival July 8, 2016 - Portland, OR Goodguys 19th PPG Nationals The Big One July 8, 2016 - Columbus, OH Rumble by the River Classic Car Show July 8, 2016 - Big Bend, WI Hemmings Cruise-in/National Collector Car Appreciation Day July 8, 2016 - Bennington, VT See All Events FEATURED CLASSIFIEDS Sponsored By: 1990 Ford Mustang $23,900 1994 Morgan Plus 8 $59,600 1967 Dodge Coronet $24,888 1937 Dodge D5 $19,900 1996 Buick Estate Wagon $13,900 1966 Chevrolet Impala $28,500 1946 Ford Super Deluxe $26,000 1987 Avanti $15,000 PROMOTED LISTING 1932 Chrysler CP8 $28,995 PROMOTED LISTING 1936 Hudson Terraplane Auction Cadillac Fleetwood NOS Rare Corticelli Silk Fabric, Tassels, Trim 20-30's $15,000 View All Classifieds FEATURED IN THE BLOG Tech 101 - How a differential works In Praise of the 6-mm wrench, or "Say Hello to my Little Friend!"
