A company called Armbruster-Stageway out of Fort Smith, Arkansas has quite a long history of building funeral coaches and limos. Back in the ’70s, it built this 454 cubic-inch, fifteen-passenger monster Chevrolet Suburban. I love the look of all those doors.
“Alonso, you have my respect. I hope the people of Indianapolis will remember you.” IndyCar’s youngest winner, Colton Herta, has the Infinity Stones. This is his official Indy 500 portrait.
Before the little rear-engine, air-cooled runabout that came to define Italy’s car culture for decades—the Fiat 500 “Nuova”—came onto the scene in the late 1950s, there was the Fiat 500 Topolino. This ~1951 Fiat 500C had a liquid-cooled 569cc inline-four mounted ahead of the front axle, and made only about 16…
It’s Wednesday. If these engineers had the audacity to tell their driver not to screw up, you too can conquer anything today.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Mitsubishi Evo IX lately. I’m awake at night thinking about a turbocharged 4, all wheel drive, rally provenance. My productivity has been reduced to nothing as I dream of the performance version of a startlingly average sedan. I can do nothing else but think, dream, and feel Evo.
I stuck around until the end of Luftgekühlt 6 on Saturday to see if anyone would claim this yellow thing. They never did, so I drove away with it. I guess it’s mine now.
What you’re looking at is one of the strangest production cars of this millennium: the Renault Avantime (meaning “ahead of its time”). It was a B-pillar-less, panoramic glass roof-having, two-door luxury coupé based on the Renault Espace minivan, and built in low quantities (total production was under 9,000) between…
Sir, put the accessory catalog down and back away slowly. (And have a nice weekend.)
Here’s a cool old sports car that doesn’t get enough love: the Jensen-Healey Mk. II. It’s not only beautiful, but it seems like a whole lot of fun. Under the hood is a 140 horsepower, 45-degree, dual overhead cam, four-valve per cylinder Lotus-designed “907” engine. Dubbed the “Torqueless Wonder,” the slanted four-pot…
Did 2003 really happen, or were we all living in an alternate universe where this kind of thing seemed normal? Everything from the chrome big n’ littles to the color-shift paint to the SpoCom crazy EP3 Civic Si-shaped body basically carbon dates this car as having been built in the early 2000s. The great thing about…
The U.S. is going gaga over mid-size pickup trucks right now, and VW, Ford, and Hyundai may bring some compact trucks into the fold soon. And while that’s exciting in its own right, what I want to know is: When are the utes making a comeback? This 1973 GMC Sprint is basically a rebadged Chevy El Camino, with both cars…
My hobby is to tow my sailboats down to the beach with my Chevrolet El Camino Super Sport. I don’t actually sail, I just think they look cool.
Remember the ‘90s, back when everyone was obsessed with the ‘60s? It was a weird time. Holden was no exception—the company unveiled this Sandman Concept at the bitter end of the ‘90s as a lighthearted way to hearken back groovier times, but it just ended up being...well, weird.
The 2019 Chevrolet Camaro SS design to be changed following criticism. Does that mean that the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro SS is the Sonic-The-Hedgehog-with-human-teeth of the automotive industry? Weird that both were announced on the same day.
Being that today marks 25 years since the death of Formula One icon Ayrton Senna, I spent some of it watching in-car videos and perusing the photo archives of his history in the sport. While it’s impossible to say nobody took racing seriously before Senna, nobody took it as serious as he did. His steely determination…
Brad Keselowski perfected the art of a backwards NASCAR pitstop Sunday afternoon at Talladega Superspeedway. Being that Keselowski had the first pit box on pit road, he came in and overshot the entrance. By stepping on the binders with the wheel turned, the car locked up and spun. By sheer force of luck, Keselowski’s…
It’s always better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. As for us, we’ll always have 1966 Aston Martin DBS by Carrozzeria Touring. You had me at “Hello.”
Remember the Fiero-based Pontiac Mera? It’s totally not a GM-sanctioned Ferrari 308 replica. Definitely not. That would be dishonest.
It’s 4/26, so take some time to consider Hemi-swapping your dog this weekend.
