Honest car reviews both big and small
It's what we could have if the Air Force designed cars In case you hadn't noticed, I love all things fast and loud, and when my flying buddies put together a trip to the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton, OH, I was all in. There we saw a B-58 Hustler, known... Continue Reading →
Here's something you don't see often, or ever, a 2-door '67 Chevelle SS wagon. Check this custom one-off out.
The panic to go small I remember the 70s well. There were gas shortages, and Japanese imports were hitting our shores with better gas mileage. Add to that a sluggish economy it forced manufacturers to rethink designs. As environmental awareness grew, America's guzzling vehicles were no longer selling well. In response, automakers prioritized efficiency over... Continue Reading →
A big move by plucky little AMC gets them on an exclusive list Since my dad worked there, I was a bit closer to hearing the stories how American Motors always had to improvise to bring its products to market because it never had the funds available that the Big Three did. It needed big... Continue Reading →
