They were more like light trucks, but from that era, I’ve always been fond of the BMC/Austin/Morris/Leyland FG and its quirky front glass panels for better visibility (as well as clever suicide or sliding doors depending on model).

Don’t forget about the ‘61 Chevrolet Corvair Rampside! I prefer the tails of this to the Atlas. YMMV. Torch, if you’re still in NC, this is at the Transportation Museum in Spencer. Just north of Salisbury.

I see your Standard Atlas and raise you a Major.

These little buggers are ADORABLE. Look at this lil’ guy..

“I will own your bank account. I will own your house.”

And, somewhere, David Tracy’s senses awaken... “Jeep?  Did someone say FLYING Jeep?”

What this article doesn’t say is this is just one step in the development of air cushion vehicles (hovercraft) that are still in use today. It turns out though that small jeep size air cushion vehicles (also known as Ground Effect Machines or GEM) aren’t particularly useful. Wheeled or tracked vehicles are more…

Where this design came from.

Put it back together with just the necessary servicing and work on another V8 in the meantime. It won’t be undrivable and the spare V8 will be a much more manageable project than a whole truck sitting in your driveway with 75% of its innards strewn every which way. Those AMC V8s aren’t exactly worth their weight in…

I dunno, I was surprised to see they have a system in place actually telling people their specific vehicle is OverHeight, and must turn. Feel like that should say enough. 

Maybe some Burma Shave type signs along the roadside?

Yes. I’m a little concerned about this.

I need SOME solid metal to weld to.

Surely there’s a bit of that under one of these Jeeps (looks around, sees nothing).

You cannot weld Rust

Wouldn’t matter, aside from closing it entirely which would likely be a massive hassle.

We have a train bridge like this in my city. It is on a road that has 10 signs before you get on it that say “No Commercial Traffic” and “No Trucks” and “Low Bridge”. Once on the road, there are signs every few hundred feet warning…

You want a farm Jeep? Buy a CJ. Preferably with a power take-off.

Dearest Sir, I am a buyer’s agent for the client in Nigeria and is 2018 Ford Focus Nitrous Blue RS AWD Turbo still for sale? This is not a scam. My client is verily interested and will send the check for the purchase of the 2018 Ford Focus Nitrous Blue RS AWD Turbo to you for $100,000 for the troubles right now. Now…

Hooray! Best of luck with your continued recovery, Fahey!

Could be I suppose, but cars have had cabin venting like this for decades. My ‘73 bavaria has them incorporated into the C pillars. Modern car designs don’t really allow for this, so they hide them behind other things. 

Or, cut the valve off of a whoopee cushion and attach it to the vent, so that the car farts when you close the doors.

It’s in case a Kennedy ever buys one...
