Rare Car Information

Selasa, 27 Maret 2012

For the Thursday Drive-By this week, we’re traveling around the blogosphere in search of entertaining and informative car stories. From vintage photos by Hemmings and Stylish Kustoms, to salvage cars at Amos Auto Enthusiast, there is a whole world of cool stuff out there just waiting to be discovered. Here are five links that you should check out when you have a few extra minutes. Oh, and tell ‘em Hover Motor Company sent ya’

You know one of my favorite things to do here is visit a local car show and post pictures from it. Well, there are other blogs out there that do more-or-less the same thing. One of those is Just a Car Guy, where you’ll find a variety of automotive stories and pictures. The latest coverage is from the Temecula Rod Run in Temecula, Calif. As I look at the Auburn Speedster and the various hot rods in this photo set, it really gets me in the mood for the upcoming car show season here in Kansas City.

I looked up the author of this blog, Craig Hover, he is the Kansas City Automotive Examiner author, and promoter of I-70 Speedway, and worked at Heartland Park Topeka and Lakeside Speedway. Craig has been an ISCA judge, an editor for several automotive publications, and an analyst for The Automobile Red Book.

I wish there were still Checker Cabs.

interesting things I couldn't resist sharing, from Bugstock 2012

wow, luggage turned into an audio video mobile/portable/removeable case... cool!

even a Von Dutch touch

Ummm, good sense of humor? No, commentors Fred and TouringBubble said this was a factory transmission, VW automatic stickshift, when you pushed down on the shift lever the clutch engaged, you still had to shift, just without the foot clutch

Roth above, and blowing my mind, this Roth decal was on another car... when was the last time you've seen a real Roth decal?

Dealership plates? WTH?

What is with the stand up area? They were factory accordian style expandables

not a good flame job

Why do dealerships try this? Making a new car cool takes real art, real design, or real perseverance... a bad flame decal doesn't cut it. A real painted on flamejob might have done it
