I'm partial to the Ferrari 250GT Zagato. He made five of them.

Tom Carrigan's 1,710 cubic inch Allison V12 powered 1939 Chevy.

Matt, you should interview Margery Krevsky, who runs Productions Plus, which provides a lot of product specialists to the auto show circuit. She'd teach Vella a thing or two. Like with any job, there are people who are really good at what they do and I've seen booth professionals who knew a lot more about what they…

Would he do it to this photographer?

I go to Mustang events in part so I can take photos of Mustang IIs and I've spoken with Buck Mook and Howard Payne, who were responsible for the exterior and interior design of the car and they're rather proud of their work. Ford sold well over a million Mustang II cars over the course of five years. Some of the best…

This one has an automotive connection. The Delphine, the yacht that Horace Dodge started building just before he died and was later used by his widow Anna, was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy during WWII and recommissioned as the USS Dauntless for use as the command ship of Admiral Ernest King, Commander in Chief of…

That's what I thought the headline was about. In a way it's true since AM General also made the M151 MUTT (though it was a Ford design) and AM General designed the HumVee. My personal favorite vintage U.S. military vehicles are the AMC built Mighty Mite M422 and the Studebaker built M29 Weasel.

Hardly a guilty pleasure. Roy Lunn, whose idea it was to make the Eagle 4X4, was an amazingly creative guys. Before he went to work for Jeep and AMC he ran the Ford GT40 program (which won at LeMans 4 times running) and also engineered the Boss 429 Mustang. Before Ford, he designed the Aston Martin DB2. Here are pics…

Does anyone think that any of those Border Patrol agents will get in trouble at their agency for lying on a police report?

Looks like a booger hanging off the nose. OTOH, at least it isn't a Changfeng Liebao leopard:

I wouldn't say discarded in general, just as hood ornament. The Leaper profile is on the back of every current Jaguar. The simple fact is that it doesn't look good on rounded front ends. They never put one on the E Type. When I had my XJ, it was grey, and we had adopted a greyhound, so I replaced the Leaper with a…

Funny names aside, the car is pretty striking, and this is its first public outing since being unveiled at SEMA this past year.

How dare you question government regulations? All those rules are put in place by benevolent, unselfish people whose sole motivation is making this world a better place. Think of the children!

The working list of car Jews:

My rabbi calls Jews "Jews" all the time, and if "Jewess" is offensive, how about dominatrix? Shver tzu zein a Yid. It's hard to be a Jew. Please, take your goyische political correctness and stick it up your tuchas.

Jason, boychick, you and I and Zora and Andre are the exceptions who prove the rule. I've been keeping a list of "car Jews" too, including many on your list (lately I've been researching Alex Taub, who had a big role in the design of the Stovebolt Six Chevy engine that was in production for most of the 20th century),…

One continuous take, but necessarily the first take.

Nicely executed, but I still think these are the best wall murals ever.
