1979 Dodge Lil' Red Express

Special delivery I’m a big fan of trucks, especially classic trucks. Over the years, my taste in trucks has gone from sport trucks to low-rider duallys to desert runners and finally back to the other extreme, mostly original examples of the finest iron and steel Detroit offered. In that spirit, I want to show you one…

Wagon Wednesday – 1957 Chevrolet Nomad

comments
Rover, wanderer, nomad, vagabond . . . I have never met someone who doesn’t like a Nomad. Shoebox Chevys are, of course, some of the most popular cars and most easily recognizable shapes in the world. You can’t go to any retro diner, cruise-in, or car show without seeing a handful of them. From wild…

If I had money, tell you what I’d do . . . Raise your hand if you’ve ever seen an M-1 or M-100 in person. This is Hooniverse, so there should be a few. Anyone?

Head Honcho . . . Here’s a cool little number from the list that belongs to Craig (who is Craig, anyway? Why not Ed, or Larry?).

The Ford Raptor: you love it or you hate it, but you can’t ignore it. Yes, it’s desert runner, not a grocery getter. It’s not a road course machine, either, but Tanner Foust doesn’t care. What you’re about to witness is simply amazing. Watch the clip, posted after the break. [Source: YouTube]

Hooniverse Asks- What Is It About Cadillacs That Make Great Songs?

comments
While dialing up some Dwight Yoakam on Grooveshark the other day (don’t judge), one of his hits “Guitars, Cadillacs, & Hillbilly Music” came on. That got me to thinking about other songs about Cadillacs. Turns out, there are several good country songs about these 6-ton sleds. Here are few of my favorite.

V.I.S.I.T. – 1965 Ford Galaxie

That’s a tree trunk, not a creepy dude behind the wheel. A few months ago, this car showed up on the street just around the corner from my house. It hasn’t moved much, but I can tell it’s driven from time to time. I’d like to meet the owner one of these days and talk…

V.I.S.I.T – 1929 Advance-Rumely Oilpull

How’s this for different? Living near Seattle, it’s not every day that a farm tractor passes me on I-5, yet that’s exactly what happened to me this past Sunday. I had never seen anything quite like this tractor, either. Fortunately, my lovely wife was riding shotgun and sighed “Yes, I’ll take some pictures for your blog.”…

Truck Thursday – 1961 Ford F-100

As I have mentioned in a previous post, cars were part of my life from the day I was born. What I failed to mention is that some of my earliest memories are of my grandpa’s trucks and tractors. Grandpa is a farmer in southwest Missouri, halfway between Conway and Morgan in southwest Laclede County ($10…

Found on Craigslist: 1967 Datsun 411

And now for something a little different . . . Part of my morning break invariably includes a scroll through craigslist for rare, interesting, or odd cars. In today’s case, I think I’ve found all three. We do have to cross the border for this quirky little Nissan-Datsun, so click past the break to find…
