The Dual Charged Roadster
Carl Fleischmann was a genius. Not the kind that walks around in a white coat and spits out calculations from the top of his head, but the kind that sneaks around quietly and drops intellectual bombs when you least expect it. He was known in the 1950′s Hot Rod scene as a shy and brilliant [...]
The best drivers on the road…
I’m down in Southern California for a few days, working between Azusa and Anaheim. It goes without saying that the well-worn freeways of LA and Orange County are dirty, covered with debris, and congested with too many miserable cars and trucks. It’s a nightmare to drive here as a rental car rookie, and my hat [...]
Project 38: A Murderous Beginning
Around 16 years ago, I wrote an editorial announcing my new project – a ’38 Ford coupe that I had found just outside of Chicago. My goals for the car were ambitious, but the 20 or 30 people that were on the forum at the time walked me through every step I took. And there [...]
Block Busters Car Club
I wish I knew more about this mystery photo, but I can tell you this: Livermore, California was just another happy, suburban Northern California town in the mid 50s, as pictured below. Like many other car clubs in the Bay Area at that time, the Block Busters had most likely partnered with their local law [...]
When You Go In A ’56 Ford…
When you go in a ’56 Ford, you go first! That’s what the commercial says anyway… I’m in San Antonio taking my kids for a quick Spring Break Vacation. Six Flags calls… As such, you guys are stuck with this less than inspirational post today. It’s the long format commercial for the ’56 Ford and [...]
The Little Deuce Coupe
I’m pretty darn sure that this video has been posted on the HAMB before, but how great is it to see the Clarence ‘Chili’ Catallo 3 window Deuce coupe being talked about by his son Curt? Catallo bought the ’32 in 1956 for a mere 75 bucks when he was 15 years old. He replaced [...]
Family Road Trip This Summer?
Yes my friends, the fine weather is finally coming around. That means that it’s time to get your trusty ride all tuned up and head out on the highway for a good ol’ road trip. Sure gas prices are near an all-time high, and there are more cell phone- chatting knuckleheads on the road than [...]
The Ute…
Before my trip to Australia, I just considered the ute a cool oddity of sorts – nothing to be taken too seriously. While down under, however, I simply fell in love with them. As you might imagine, I saw all sorts – early Fords, late Fords, etc… And, strangely enough, I mostly fell for the [...]
