Django is a long time user and a big time supporter of the H.A.M.B. He’s the guy that busts his ass every year to bring us the annual H.A.M.B. calendar. Put simply, he’s a big design talent and a passionate ambassador of traditional hot rodding. So I was pretty stoked to hear that Django and [...]

Paso Coverage
The weekend is over, Marco lost by a chin, and Paso is done and gone… I’m sure more than a few of ya are reading this with a sore back-side as ya just got back from a long west coast road trip. Kick your shoes off, grab a beer, and enjoy the pics. Paso Coverage [...]
The Greatest Spectacle In Racing
Wilbur Shaw won the 1940 Indianapolis 500 in his brand spanking new Maserati 8CM labeled the “Boyle Special”. And since he won the race in 1939 as well, he became the first driver to drink the milk two years in a row. It was also a rare success for a European entry as it wouldn’t be [...]
Traditional Innovation
SUHRsc is an east coast guy with what seems like an endless supply of model-a roadsters. You might remember his ’29 roadster featured in the latest Rod & Kulture Magazine. The above is his latest offering and I am in love. What actually started life as a ’28 coupe is now a perfect picture of a late [...]
Early & Fat Trucks
Dan Collins is one of those guys with a good eye and a stable of cars to prove it. In fact, just about every ride I’ve seen roll out of his garage hits the mark squarely. I wasn’t surprised at all to see this ’38 Ford Truck. A few years ago “the Rudy truck” started [...]
Decals: Come & Get Em…
Lots of folks were asking about Jalopy Journal and H.A.M.B. decals. Well, they are officially available again. Stake your claim here. Note: These are first come first serve. If you order yours after we sell out of our stock, you could have to wait three or so weeks for delivery.
Classified Scavenger: ’40 Standard
This one won’t last. Solid body over stock foundation with a 283 preinstalled. You don’t find many of these in any condition under $10k these days. Someone grab this thing and start posting tech articles on the build up!
The Busby Coupe
The Busby coupe randomly popped up on the H.A.M.B. a few days ago. It’s always been one of my absolute favorite ’32 Ford Coupes… Just an exquisite example of what can be done with subtlety, restraint, and proportion. It sure is nice to see ”him” again. I first saw him in motion. I was standing on a sidewalk just [...]
The Jalopy Showdown Coverage
When was the last time you went to a car show aiming to get your car dirty? That’s what makes the Jalopy Showdown so special… Sure, it’s a regular car show on some fairgrounds but there is a twist – a dirt track fully stocked with mud and ready to go. And go they did… [...]
