Honest car reviews both big and small
Its driver loves speed So the other day I was tagging along with fellow car buddy Darrel Burnett at the Automobile Gallery of Green Bay on a tour and spot this car. Wait a minute, I know this this car! It was maybe 40 years ago when Darrel and I were working at the same... Continue Reading →
Drive a piece of history It all began with the race in 1911 where a Stoddard-Dayton paced the cars at the Indy 500. Yup, I wouldn't have guessed that name either since it's one of the long-gone automotive names. It actually paced two more 500s, 1913 and 1914. Being out in front of the 33... Continue Reading →
A story about getting a second chance at owning a dream car How often have you said, "I wish I still had that car?". For me, it's a 1970 AMX that blew its engine while I was driving it back home to Green Bay. I was in way over my head with that car and... Continue Reading →
A classic boxy SUV that gets the job done ... I love classic SUVs. The first one I drove was a SJ Cherokee Chief for the first TV station I worked for in 1977. That thing was a tank and could go just about anywhere plus, it could carry a ton of stuff. On the... Continue Reading →
Using airplane technology it takes off...Well not really Inventors have been experimenting with marrying airplane elements into cars since the early 1900s. Take for example this week's spot, the 1932 Helicron I spotted at the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville. We got a chance to look at it up close but not this close when... Continue Reading →
When American Motors was still winning in motorsports AMC will be forever known for being able to squeeze out new designs on a limited budget. This week's spot is a great example of when the Spirit replaced the aging Gremlin. The automotive journalists recognized this and loved it. AMC's designer Dick Teague's "more-conventional" design of... Continue Reading →
The next chapter in the little Jeep's history It had a tough act to follow when Jeep introduced the new Wrangler (YJ) in 1986. The CJ had been there when the boys returned from WW II and introduced a whole new crowd into the fun of off-roading. But the trusty steed was getting up there... Continue Reading →
Still some muscle left in this name 1974 wasn't a great year for the US auto industry as production levels fell by almost two million vehicles, around 22 percent. Poor fuel economy was mostly why buyers turned away from larger and medium-sized cars and preferred compact and subcompact cars. With inflation just above 12 percent,... Continue Reading →
The last Packard that never was ... I love automotive history mainly to see why certain cars were designed. Some fantastic cars never saw production like this week’s spot, the 1956 Packard Predictor. I spotted this concept car at the Studebaker Museum in South Bend, IN. The Packard name is long gone but in the... Continue Reading →
When Jags were cool Being a car guy it's hard to see a storied brand circling the drain about to get flushed and that's pretty much the story now with Jaguar. But there was a time when this British icon produced cars that oozed performance and luxury like this week's spot, a 96 Jaguar XJS.... Continue Reading →
