Chevy Enthusiast via Hooniverse: The 1964-70 Chevy G-Van; Just the Basics, Dude
/
During the 1950’s, Chevrolet was virtually on fire with their entire product line, and by 1955, it looked like they could do no wrong. From the revised V-8 equipped Corvette, to the new Task Force Truck Line – including the introduction of the Chevy Cameo Carrier – Chevrolet had a vehicle for every want and…

Mystery Car Revealed
/
That’s right, it’s a 1953 Moretti 750 Gran Sport. PFG “spit out” the correct answer after first addition an extraneous and kind of embarrassing appendage. Moretti got his start making motorcycle engines, transitioning to cars after WWII. This Gran Sport rocks a 748-cc dohc four that puts out a bantam 71 horsepower. The Michelotti bodywork…

State of the Muscle Car, 2010

[Ed. Note: This article was written and sent in by Skitter. Thanks!!] My consciousness of pickup trucks begins with the ‘new’ Dodge Ram. The Top Trumps mentality ruled the day, so occasionally I would remove the six-foot poster from the wall and pore over the spec sheets on the back. I would ponder how best…

V.I.S.I.T. – DAF Punk Edition
/
This Volvo 66 (née DAF 66) rolled out of the Van Doorne’s Aanhangwagen Fabriek sometime between 1975 and 1980, after Volvo purchased DAF in 1974. It’s likely been befuddling passersby and seducing bizarre car enthusiasts (like me!) ever since.

Classic Cars International, Antique Auto Museum of Utah… part 2
/
Having lived in Utah for 11 years it’s a little sad that I have never heard of this place before now. Sadder yet is the fact that I have visited the industrial cleaning supply store half a block down on at least 3 occasions and FAILED TO NOTICE an effin Studebaker perched on the roof…

Screw it, We're Moving to Sweden

An old pal from a job that’s partially responsible for my screen name tipped me to some top-shelf Swedish vodka insanity. We bring you the Heron Hillclimb, which we can best describe as a mini Pike’s Peak mixed with a typical crop of Cars and Coffee attendees. Seriously, this is madness…

$42 grand. That’s it. $42k For a Toronado-powered five-axle rig with a hydrogen peroxide rocket powered land-speed racer on the back. The scale of the picture’s a little hard to grasp, so we’ll help you out: that cab’s only 5.5 feet tall. This rig’s made appearances at Cars and Coffee, and I’ve actually seen it…

It’s time to move on from ridiculous hoonage back to the real world (for now). After the canyons and the empty streets of California City came miles of long, straight highway.
