Four-Links – four-door ‘Cuda, flathead sidecar, Super Nova, Volvo lowriders

No, Plymouth didn’t build a production four-door Barracuda, but this highly documented build from Dave Walden – inspired by a little-known prototype – sure could pass for one.

* If the Emporium Garage Autoscooter that Influx recently road tested looks familiar, then you’ve probably seen photos of Trooper Trudeau’s “flathead sidecar” built from a 1936 body and 1941 Harley-Davidson V-Twin.

* The Chevrolet Super Nova concept car, which Mac’s Motor City Garage recently profiled, might not have shared much with the first-generation Chevy II it was based on, but it did end up influencing many another Chevrolet production car over the years.

* Volvos come in many different flavors these days, and while turbobricks and other track-focused builds take up a lot of oxygen in the modified Volvo room, there’s apparently a vein of lowrider Volvos that Stance Is Everything recently tapped into.

* Documentaries about Bonneville? Yes. “The World’s Fastest” recently hit Kickstarter, looking for funds to finish off the long-in-production film and get it out to audiences.
