It's worth enough to be restorable unless it's completely destroyed.

Hagerty's offices are in Traverse City which is about 200 miles from Detroit. Ford hasn't had factories or offices in Detroit proper for generations, since Henry built the Highland Park factory (in 1910, I believe). I'm not sure exactly when Ford moved their business offices from the building at Woodward and Grand…

Matt, the original author of the post at Zero Hedge is a guy named Vincent Lewis, who appears to be some kind of conspiracy theorist. No, really, he's published a book about conspiracies and doesn't appear to be a skeptic. He knows nothing about the car industry. When I first saw a link to the ZH post, I thought it…

Teague may have gotten the idea for the diagonally swappable doors from Brooks Stevens' Studebaker Cruiser concept.

The most dangerous thing a bicyclist can do is proceed through an intersection with a green light. More cyclists are hit by drivers who don't see them while making a right turn than any other kind of car/bike collision. The same problem kills a lot of motorcyclists too.

That whole see-through car thing is so 1939.

Perhaps the original fun car was the 1948-50 Willys-Overland Jeepster. Jeep revived the name and concept with the 1966 Jeepster Commando. In 1972, they restyled the front end, making it look very much like a Ford Bronco, another vehicle that probably belongs on this list.

Whoa. When I saw the photo, for a second I thought it was Jim Clark's Indy winning Lotus, which wears the same colors. It's an interesting debate, which Lotus was more influential, the Lotus 38 that won at Indy or the Lotus 49, which won a F1 championship.

Aren't they butthurt?

It's a shame that you and perspective are strangers.

Patrick,

This is how you eat cars.

Obviously, we're not going to change our policy of covering the news.

Patrick, living in the Detroit area I see preproduction cars quite frequently. Car companies and suppliers test their cars (including those for markets outside of North America) in my neighborhood for radio frequency interference and I have a nice sequence of photos with Japanese Denso engineers trying to keep me from…

What does that video have to do with this thread?

No harder than anyone else with the same amount of money.

One of Ford's great-grandchildren is married to a Jew and Bill Ford Jr's daughter married a black man so Henry's spinning pretty fast regardless of who's running FoMoCo.

I had one of these as a kid.

Not all colonialism was the same, at least European colonialism (which seems to be the only kind that gets any notice). Most of the best functioning countries in the world are former British colonies or de facto colonies like Japan was. The Brits brought in schools and courts and a functioning civil service. I wonder…
