That woman in the convertible I remember 1963 for the good stuff. My favorite band, the Beach Boys, were cranking out hits along with a new group from England. Of course I know it's the Beatles. '63 was also the year dad packed up the whole family and moved us from Madison, WI., to Milwaukee,... Continue Reading →
Talk about a car that was handicapped right out of the gate. That's pretty much the story of the Mercury Comet. Why did I pick this car? Well, for two reasons, my uncle had one and I'm partial to orphan brands hence my affection for American Motors. OK, so now here's the first handicap. Ford... Continue Reading →
It could have been named something else From the what were they thinking category. Plymouth's executives had wanted to name the car Panda, an idea that was unpopular with the car's designers.

Who doesn't love a good car chase? Show of hands. Yup, that's everybody. Good car chases are a big part of a movie. Perhaps the first one that comes to mind is the classic chase in Bullitt.

OK, cue the music! " got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down to the Love Shack. I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20 so come on and bring your jukebox money....".
