Hemmings Find of the Day – 1940 Lincoln Zephyr

If I were to pony up the $12,900 for this 1940 Lincoln Zephyr for sale on Hemmings.com, I’d leave it exactly as is. Sure, these things are supersweet when restored (and completely bitchin’ when rodded the right way), even when you do come across a Zephyr in the wild, you’re Read more

Six Degrees of Automotive Separation – Voisin

This week’s Hemmings Six Degrees of Automotive Separation Challenge will be one full of apologies. First, my apologies to marmer, who provided answers to last week’s Stutz challenge late in the afternoon when I got caught up in other tasks. So to make it up to him, we will take Read more

Slap ‘em up, ship ‘em out

For all the mooning I do about how ’80s cars aren’t so bad, take a good look at this press photo of an all-new ‘82 Firebird S/E. If the PR guys couldn’t get the hood to line up right, what chance did anyone else have? Another treasure swiped from the Read more

Hemmings Finds of the Day – 1958 Facel Vega and 1961 Facel Vega

Is there something we don’t know about causing a run on Facel Vegas, or is this just coincidence? Two gorgeous examples recently popped up on Hemmings.com one almost on the heels of the other: a Hemi-powered 1958 FV4 and a 383-powered 1961 HK500. From the description of the former, priced Read more

Bootleggers, used car dealers and The Great Gatsby – on the trail of Max Gerlach

The intertwining of the automobile into the story of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby involves more than just props to illustrate the Jazz Age setting: The plot hinges on Myrtle Wilson’s death by automobile, and Fitzgerald even named one of the characters, Jordan Baker, after two American automotive marques.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1979 AMC Spirit

Of course I’m going to highlight any 1979 AMC Spirit that comes through the Hemmings.com classifieds, especially a 1979 Spirit sedan such as this one. The sedan was by far less popular than the hatchback, which makes it more unusual today, but it does serve as a very visual link Read more

El Gato (Spanish for “The Cat”)

While doing a little digging for our recent post on the concept car photos from the Ron Kellogg collection, we kept coming across a Cougar show car built in 1970 called El Gato. The thing is, nobody seems to know much about it. That its roof was chopped, its front Read more
