The seller of today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe Colt claims its condition as ‘fair’ which seems accurate seeing as it looks dusty enough inside to be a recently discovered sarcophagus in Egypt. Let’s see if it’s cheap enough to also be a fair deal.
Radwood has been around for a little over a year now, and the show has finally spread across the U.S. for a show on the Eastern Seaboard. A couple of weeks ago, Radwood joined up with GridLife for an automotive festival like no other in Georgia, at Road Atlanta. Nearly 200 cars joined in ‘80s and ‘90s celebrations,…
In 1985, George Washington rolled up to what is now called Philadelphia in his Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R, planted his flag, and loudly proclaimed, “This land is called America, and it’s gonna be dope.” To commemorate this important event, and to celebrate all 1980s and 1990s rides, the retro car show Radwood is finally…
Radwood happened again this weekend at Road Atlanta, this time as an associated event during the GridLife automotive, music, and lifestyle festival. Thousands of people showed up to check out the action on track and in the paddock, and we were there to get Rad in the ATL. It was an awesome time, and here are some…
Fans of ‘80s and ‘90s cars on the Eastern Seaboard have been begging for a Radwood in their neck of the woods seemingly since the first show in San Francisco last year. Until now, the show has been held entirely within the borders of the state of California. That’s about to change as the raddest car show is coming to…
Each and every one of the 500 Toyota Soarer Aerocabins built were constructed in Japan during the month of April in 1989. Each one identical to the last, they all featured the same right-hand drive configuration, paint, engine, transmission, and fully-loaded options list. These are effectively an even larger and …
Last month, we borrowed a replica of KITT—the crime-fighting 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am that co-starred with David Hasselhoff in Knight Rider—to drive from LA to an ’80s and ’90s car show in San Francisco. But KITT didn’t make it to San Francisco. Actually, not even close.
1980s and ’90s nostalgia is coming back as loud and proud as the first guitar riff in the Miami Vice theme song, and it might be one of the best things to happen to car culture in a long time. Roll up to a Radwood show with us in this video and see what everybody’s freaking out about, man.
Looking back through the pantheon of automotive side stripe packages is a great way to get depressed by the state of current side stripe offerings. Every decade has some pretty awesome options, and the current lineup pales by comparison.
Yesterday, I posted our first Radwood Mega Gallery from this past weekend’s show. I knew, however, that my intern-quality shots could never satiate the masses of ’80s and ’90s car fans that come to Jalopnik for their photo needs. Allow me to do better
After turning up in full rad regalia for this past weekend’s Radwood car show in San Fransisco, I’m back in New York slightly sunburnt and jet-lagged. But it was not in vain, for I can now share photos of what was assuredly the biggest-ever meeting of weird and unique cars from the 80s and 90s.
If you weren’t in San Francisco this weekend, you apparently missed one hell of a time. The third Radwood, the car show that celebrates the rides and fashions of the 1980s and 1990s, had its biggest and best showing ever.
Andrew Collins and David Tracy are winding their way north from Los Angeles to San Francisco, and they’re borrowing David Hasselhoff’s ride from the television show Knight Rider, KITT. They’re on their way to Radwood NorCal, but they’re taking the scenic route and will be stopping for a few choice photo ops and live…
Tomorrow we’re going back in time again when we visit Radwood NorCal, the perfect celebration of ‘80s and ‘90s automotive enthusiast lifestyle. This is the biggest Radwood yet, and the great news is that there is still plenty of room for you to bring your car and join in the fun! Even if you don’t have an ‘80s or ‘90s…
Following the recent success of other period-themed automotive exhibitions, notably the 1980s and ’90s car show Radwood, I’ve decided to launch Litwood, a car show celebrating the car culture of the 2000s and 2010s. I am calling dibs on this now. Please prepare accordingly.
Radwood, the ultimate celebration of 1980s and ’90s automotive nostalgia, is on this weekend in San Francisco. And we’re driving up from LA in something that’s as rad as cars come–a Pontiac Firebird. But not just any Firebird. This, friends, is a Knight Industries 2000.
With a competitive spirit that could shame most Olympians, you lovely Jalops submitted dozens of rad rides to our reader contest for this Sunday’s Radwood car show. It was a tough contest. The cars were very good! But in the end only three can be champions, and here they are.
We’re heading to Radwood, the fantastic 80s and 90s-themed car show in San Francisco, later this week. We want you rad readers to bring your rad rides, so we’re holding a rad contest to see which rad ride is raddest. Follow?
Reminder! If you want to go to Radwood San Francisco next weekend, Sunday June 24, you should enter our Jalopnik Reader Contest! But it closes tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET. Get your entries in!
Most things are terrible, but Radwood—the grassroots car show that celebrates the rides of the 1980s and 1990s—is good. It’s back at the end of this month in the San Francisco Bay Area. Once again Jalopnik is getting involved with the show, and we want you to get involved too! Update: It’s past the 2 p.m. ET deadline,…
