Why wait for a Lada Niva reboot when the old one is still for sale?

Back to work, back to work. If the Mack Mid-liner is going to be Renault’s Club of Four ambassador to the mighty American truck market, it better be a leader. Good thing it’s built to be one.

I don’t know about you, but I won’t have my retro 4x4 fix satisfied until our new Bronco is matched by a new International Scout. It better come with decals too. Or else.

Today’s Hungarian Grand Prix wasn’t all that exciting, but the same can’t be said for 1995's race. It’s not every day that a Formula One driver meets the business end of a Tatra medical car, but that’s exactly what happened to Taki Inoue.

Before Cadillac built its Allantés on an assembly line stretching from Pininfarina’s shop in Italy to a plant in Detroit where they were finished, Chrysler was sending its Crown Imperial limos across the Atlantic in the other direction to be appointed by the luxury experts at Ghia.

There’s no Morning Shift today, most of the Jalopnik staff has the day off for the holiday weekend. You’ll still have a few fresh blogs to read though, and I’ll re-run some classic goodies on the homepage. Meanwhile, isn’t this a great picture? The Skyline Spec Nür was basically the R34’s best and last variant.

The Chrysler LeBaron wasn’t born on the salt flats, but it certainly made itself at home there. Especially after the underfloor rusted out and Jack and Suzie couldn’t get it moving again.

“Of course it’s a real Mustang! The man at the dealership was very clear, honey.”

You know what? Sure. Put the engine in the trunk of your little French hatchback. Race it in Group 4 if you want. Hell, become a motorsports icon too. See if I care.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us here at Nash Motors Jalopnik dot com. Enjoy the day!
