If you keep a kosher diet: Sara's Deli in the Jewish Community Center in Oak Park has great soups and sandwiches. The best deli meats are in the midwest. Dave's Gourmet Burger, also in Oak Park, has good food and it's run by great people. If you want dairy or vegetarian, Jersusalem Pizza in Southfield is very good.

The Piquette Avenue Ford Factory, where the Model T was developed and first built, is definitely worth a visit, but it's only open to the public from April to October. If you're in town for the NAIAS media preview, if you call the museum, they'll probably give you media access.

He also had a Cord L-29 and a Crosley roadster, both in taliesin red, Wright's signature color. Both cars are on display at the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum in South Bend.

Just come and hang out, the sodas will be on the house for Jalopnik readers

The Corvette is profitable at the current build rate which is not even half the capacity of the Bowling Green plant. They sell half as many Corvettes as they once did but Harlan Charles told me that the program makes money at the current sales rate. GM has invested a lot of money in the Bowling Green plant, most…

This one is weird. Studebaker Lark convertible limousine made by the plant putting together CKD Studies in Israel, for use as a state limo and parade car:

Sometimes a cigar is just a smoke.

It's not just art. The Detroit Historical Museum (and hence the city of Detroit) owns about six dozen very valuable automobiles, including a Chrysler Turbine car and the 1963 Mustang II concept.

The E Type is a bit feminine compared to the D, the XKSS and even the new F Type. I got a chance to see a D Type driven off the field at the Concours of America a couple of years ago.

Even still, by the time World War II started almost all of Italy's economy was centrally-planned by the State and IRI. Only the Soviet Union had a greater degree of economic control.

Say what you will about the Monkeemobile, but the folks at Pontiac were perfectly happy with it. From a styling standpoint, what Dean Jeffries, who built the original, did was take the existing GTO styling and exaggerate it to the extreme. Also, the retro looking phaeton style convertible roof looks great. I think it…

Even more curious is the fact that there's only one black woman in the mix in a region that once counted Betty DeRamus, Susan Watson, Desiree Cooper and Robin Givhan among its ranks. What happened there?

The fastest production Ford was a Ford GT that went 205 mph at the Nardo track in 2004. Ford donated the car to the Piquette Avenue Model T Museum in Detroit.

American Motors V8. They made it in three displacements but they were all based on the same block so the 390/401 versions have big-block displacement without the weight of the GM, Ford and Chrysler big block engines. AMCs were great sleeper cars. BTW, apparently the dual quad, cross plane Edelbrock intake manifold was…

I recently wrote about a number of documentaries about John DeLorean and the DeLorean Motor Company for TTAC and I was subsequently contacted by someone in Hollywood who told me they were on one of three teams working on a possible theatrical movie about John DeLorean.

Did someone say something about autographs? The writer Eoin Young, who knew Stewart when he was an up and coming young driver, tells a cute story about his autograph, which is very legible, with flourishes above and below if Sir Jackie has enough time.

Don't be afraid to ask professional photographers for advice.

It needs to be stressed that every single one of these safety innovations was the product of the private sector, not a government agency. The same is true for pollution control. It's a myth that car executives have said that "you can't sell safety". If you look at promotional materials going back to the early days of…

The first two wheel SUV? I think that Rokon, which makes two wheel drive off road motorcycles, can lay claim to that.
