British Man Cobbles Together Last Jaguar E-Type From 31-Year-Old Factory Leftovers
At the end of a production run of cars, there are inevitably bits and pieces left behind which aren't assembled and have to be taken off the production line in the boxes they came in. When production on the Jaguar E-Type ended at Browns Lane in 1974, just such a thing happened, and a Jag fanatic picked up those truckloads of leftovers and kept them — for 31 years. When he got tired of being their steward he sold them to an enterprising fellow who thought of another Jag fanatic who might be able to make something of these parts. Turns out the kit was complete enough to finish one final 1974 Jaguar E-Type V12.

Save The Not-So-Big Three...With T-Shirts!
The "Save GM" t-shirt went over so well, we decided to expand the not-official Jalopnik store offerings to now include the rest of the not-so-Big Three with Save Ford and Save Chrysler t-shirts plus an exclusive Save Detroit t-shirt. In these trying times, one needs to be sporting a kitschy t-shirt and frankly, because once you're let go from your job, you'll find more time to wear them. Buy all four and be instantly transformed into Captain America!* But get 'em now below the jump before Ford, Chrysler and GM attorneys forget this is parody and try to shut us down. Operators are standing by.

Down On The Street
1960 Cadillac Sixty-Two Hardtop Coupe
Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. The distribution of Cadillac model years seems a bit strange on the island; today's car is our third 1960 Cadillac coupe (after this gold one and this red one), but the rest of the decade of the 1960s isn't represented until we get to 1969 (which is represented by four cars: this one, this one, this one, and this one). Where are all those 1961-68 Cads?
