2008 orphan car show
Yes, it's the one and only Fabulous Hudson Hornet. While many of the classic automobiles on display at the 2008 Orphan Car Show came from far and wide, the journey for this piece of racing history was merely across town. That's because it now resides in the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum, a facility that was formerly home to Miller Motors, the last Hudson dealership in the world. But what made this Hornet so Fabulous?

Ass-Kickin' Engine of the Day: Hudson Six
You know what's wrong with NASCAR these days? Two things: the fans no longer drink beer from steel cans, and nobody races inline-six flatheads! Oldsmobile and Chrysler had new overhead-valve V8s in the early 50s, but Hudson Hornets equipped with 308-cubic-inch, twin-carb (called "Twin-H") flathead six engines utterly dominated NASCAR during the era. You can get a 308 equipped with a 4-71 supercharger nowadays, in case your Hornet needs even more power! Make the jump for the sound of the Hudson six. [Collector Car Market] More »

This is it. What countless dozens of you have been waiting for, a select few thought would never come and countless millions couldn't care less about — the introduction of the all-new 2008 model year Jalopnik. Although we're still buffing the sheet metal a bit and deciding on an extra hood scoop or go-faster stripes — we've already got a great auto-obsessed group of guys (and, you know, Murilee) in the lineup bringing you the best of what you've come to expect from Jalopnik. And since you've been so kind to spend so much time here, we kind of thought you should perhaps know who they are. So, without further ado, here's the lineup:

Is there any Hell Project that can compete against a car with chain drive, one carburetor per 200cc of engine displacement, and pretty much zilch in terms of parts availability? We can't say for sure, but we now know that more than 60% of Jalopnik readers surveyed believe that the Honda S800 out-hells the Lotus Europa. Today we're going for a unifying theme that doesn't have much to do with the type of vehicles involved; instead, the theme is the cleansing by flame that each entrant has undergone prior to making an attempt to insinuate itself into your garage.

Commenter of the Day: Out-of-Biz Marquee Edition
Remember Pan Am and TWA? Yeah, neither do I. But I do remember that for a time I thought I could impress girls by quoting Shakespeare from memory, specifically Macbeth. Anytime someone would mention the temporal nature of existence, which was a disturbingly common theme amongst girls that would agree to date me, I'd trot out those famous lines: "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Creeps in this pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterday's have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle. Life's but a walking shadow." This all transitions very well into today's COTD. More »

All Tomorrow's Parties: GM Announces Details of GM Style Event
For those who don't remember from last year's coverage, one of the biggest parties at the Detroit Auto Show is the GM Style event, which is an orgy of celeb product placement. Last year it was John Legend and Jennifer Hudson coupled with the Camaro Concept and an Escalade, and this year it looks like it'll be Mary J. Blige and the Chevy Beat, maybe, which is fine by us. We've got pictures from last year below, as well as the press release. I hope we get to meet Christian Slater. That guy was great in Kuffs.More »
