Honest car reviews both big and small
Usually when I get ready to make a new blog post on a promo model I have seen it for sale at some auction site but this time I took a bit of a different run at it. I tried to find the car first. In this case a 1948 Hudson Hornet. Why that? Sure... Continue Reading →
Even though I was only 9 in 1963...there, I blew the cover on my age, I still remember a lot about that year, the Kennedy assassination for sure. The Beatle's U.S. TV concert, Route 66, and we had just moved from Madison to Milwaukee when dad got a job at....wait for it...American Motors. And to... Continue Reading →
What were you doing in 1967? For me, even though I was a kid, I was pumped because the Green Bay Packers become the first team in the modern era to win their third consecutive NFL Championship, 21-17 over the Dallas Cowboys in what became known as "The Ice Bowl". It was a great year...

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. Now think Bond, James Bond. Super awesome car chases in those movies but because, as you all know, I... Continue Reading →
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....". Those lyrics sound familiar? How about a clue? It was the B52's biggest hit. Right, Love Shack. If you... Continue Reading →
Let's start with a bit of trivia first. What TV show did Studebaker sponsor? I'll start singing the theme. Ooops, forgot you wouldn't be able to hear me. By the way, I do know all the words. One clue. Alan Young f was the star, at least the two legged one. Give up? It was... Continue Reading →
The aim was right, well sort of Ford invested $400,000,000 in its development and those were mid-5o's numbers. Can you imagine what that would have taken in today's dollars? Yikes. It would be enough to bankrupt a car maker. The Edsel is most famous for being a marketing disaster and the name "Edsel" became synonymous with commercial... Continue Reading →
In the early 50's most of the car manufacturers were going the "bigger is better" route.  Nash Motor Company executives were examining the market to offer American buyers an economical transportation alternative. In came the Nash Metropolitan. Wait a minute, isn't the all coming around again with cars like the Fiat 500 and Smart Car? Same concept,... Continue Reading →
Even though I have this, what some of my friends call a sickness in my love for AMC cars, I love others too like Corvettes. If I were to win the PowerBall, a big one, a Corvette would be on my list of collector cars to buy. This car defines the word "cool". Heck it... Continue Reading →
Have you ever wondered why a certain car didn't meet expectations and became just a footnote? Such is the case for American Motors's Marlin. This "Man Size Fastback" as AMC called it in ads was not the original concept. Â Designed by AMC's famous designer Dick Teague chose the Rambler American chassis (106 inches) and created...
