Four-Links - no importing Cuban cars, Goodwood's Edwardians, 'Vette raffle canceled, Florence Lawrence
Posted by Daniel Strohl - With Cuban relations starting to normalize, can Americans import Cuban classics? Bloomberg once postulated that they would, but another Bloomberg article this week pointed out that tariffs prevent Americans importing anything from Cuba that wasn't made there - which means repatriating the cars is out of the question. * Last weekend's Goodwood Member's Meeting included the much-anticipated S.F. Edge Trophy race for Edwardian monsters, and The Old Motor has an excellent photo gallery from the event. * A ... Read On>>
Hemmings Find of the Day - 1937 Cord 812 Posted by Daniel Strohl - Note what you don't see on this 1937 Cord 812 for sale on Hemmings.com: badges, cloissones, and other decoration from years and years of participating in shows and scooping up awards. That's because it's apparently been shown a handful of times locally - and driven just 40 miles - since its decades-long restoration wrapped several years back. Despite the wool it's gathered in that time, it reportedly remains ready to run and show at a moment's notice these days. From the seller's description: This Cord was purchase...Read On>>
Hemmings Sunday Cinema - Leno and La Bestioni, folding scooter caravan, Italia a Mano Armata Posted by Daniel Strohl - It's a good bet that many of you started following Jay Leno's old car exploits after he got involved in the subculture of giant tank/airplane/firetruck-engined roadsters, and he returned to that form in the latest Jay Leno's Garage video with a look at La Bestioni, a 1915 American LaFrance roadster. * Who needs a big ol' camper when you could pull this tiny folding caravan with a tiny little boat on top and a tiny little sidecar to the side of this itty-bitty-witty scooter, as seen in a vintage British Pathe film...Read On>>
Hemmings Find of the Day - 1983 Citroen Dyane 6 Posted by Kurt Ernst - In much of the world, the Citroen 2CV served as affordable postwar transportation for the masses, but by 1967, after 19 years of production, the design was growing long in the tooth. Enter the Citroen Dyane, which was intended both as a replacement for the 2CV and as a viable competitor to the increasingly popular Renault 4. Never as popular as the beloved 2CV, the Dyane remained in Citroen's lineup through 1983, spawning variants like the go-anywhere Mehari and the Acadiane delivery van, both of which outlived the ...Read On>>

Plans call for transforming Iowa airport into quarter-mile dragstrip Posted by Daniel Strohl - Image courtesy Google Maps. Other than a nine-hole golf course and Interstate 29, there's not much around the former Onawa Municipal Airport - just a long strip of concrete in the middle of the Iowa cornfields - which makes it just about ideal for a dragstrip, say supporters who hope to bring quarter-mile racing there later this year. Commissioned in April of 1959 and operated for the last 20 years by the city of Onawa, which lies about a hard stone's throw from the Nebraska border, the airport with its sole 3...Read On>>
THIS WEEK'S BEST DISCUSSION
Presenting the Hemmings $25,000 Editor's Choice Challenge Posted by Kurt Ernst - The $5,000 Challenge was started as a way to prove that the collector car hobby can still have an affordable point of entry, but it highlights a mere fraction of the cars we have for sale in our classifieds. Worse, perhaps, was that the choices came from a single editor's perspective, which got the aforementioned editor thinking about ways to diversify the "challenge" series. Below is the net result, something we're calling the $25,000 Editor's Choice Challenge. Opened up to our magazine and online editors, the p...Read On>>
