Here's how they look on my '64 Daytona hardtop. Available now from Real Rodder Wheels in Oxnard, CA.

This is my version, made using a Quik Top as a starter. My daughter rides back there during Greatrace. This year we ran 2400 miles from Olgunquit,...
Good timing on this post! I have a prewar-themed '29 AV8 but I had been running '50 Pontiacs with blue dots, not exactly period correct even if...
Don't listen to opinions, look at real life. The 2012 Greatrace ran 2100 rough miles from Michigan, through Canada to New York, and back to...
Great shots of the pre-war Mercedes and rear engined Auto Union cars on part 1!
A friend found this at a garage sale. No other data than 'April 1963', and that it was from Orange County near Anaheim. During the era when...
I imagine it's headed for the Petersen, to be stuffed and mounted without turning a wheel in anger: it wouldn't meet the current safety rules at...
It's interesting to hear the different opinions. 'Value' and 'interest' varies in the eye of the beholder. When I bought my '29 AV8 it was pretty...
I watched that car, since it's not too different from what I have. The big difference, aside from the quick change, was the history. The kind of...
So there's your difference between New England and Texas. I enjoyed your humor and recognized it as such. New England does have a different...
Ryan, I have friends in the MA/ME area who have one of the coolest cars in the country; a replica '35 Ford Indy car, complete with 21 stud...
Used to work there. I helped Harry Morrow clean out the rest of his F500 parts, including a stack of new skinny tires still wrapped. I used to...
Pasadena Reliability Run 2010 in our '29 A-V8. All prewar driveline including '41 Zephyr trans with B-W overdrive.
We don't have to buy a state, just move in enough folks to have 51% of the vote or greater. It should be a place where the roads are good, they...
Servicemen came back from the UK well after VE day. I knew a C119 pilot who brought home an MG-TD in his plane. But aside from that, the guys who...
Easier on 59AB: just bolt it up. Old Henry figured it would be too confusing I guess. Besides, timing lights only get you close, because published...
Retro Jim made me think a bit. I grew up here and got to experience it first hand. Been to the Petersen since it's VIP pre-opening where I got to...
I've got the right car but I live in LA. Dang.
Chevy customized the '55 to make the '57. You can't hurt a 4 door post through modification, but a Bel Air hardtop, Nomad, or convert can't be...
Too often automotive writers confuse streamline moderne with art deco. Streamlining was far more influential from about 1932 onwards than deco...
Only one problem: it's not Art Deco, it's Streamline Moderne. Kinda goofs up your title, but people make this mistake all the time.
Blue Bird is in a museum in Talledega. There's also a replica in the UK. The sound in the second video is from the Rolls Royce V12 aircraft...
The dubbed sound on the first newsreel sure sounds like an Offy to me. Typical Hollywood. It's definitely different than the 'raw' footage....
PRDDETROIT is right. We've driven our roaster all over the US, and LA/SF are the worst. Everyone is in one hell of a hurry. You start to notice...
Valve adjustment is easy if it has adjustable lifters: very much like an overhead with solid tappets. If it's stock, that gets trickier. I'd be...
That look would work if the trunk lid carried the same line as the top right down to the bumper, like a sedanette.
The motorcycle clubs changed a lot as well. Hells Angels was a Howard Hughes aviation epic.
OK, I'll buck the trend and say I don't like the package. The Y block is cool, but the stance and pipes are awkward. The '57-'58 Ford steering...
