comments
[singlepic id=1751 w=720 h=480 float=center] I have a special affection for minimalist vehicles, and as a former VW buggy owner, street buggies hover somewhere near the top of my list. I snapped this rail-framed, amusement-park-on-wheels outside a local pizzeria. I thought this particular “shortback” design was just about perfectly proportioned.

Call me a little lazy, but I just discovered these images on my “Crackberry” that I took when I was at the New York International Auto Show that happened a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it’s a rolling advertisement, with a “Pirates of the Caribbean” vibe to it for the bar called Jekyll and Hyde.

Spring has finally arrived in New England, and people have been breaking out their bikes, boats, and older cars. This Chevy II was parked at a garage in Hartford, and it’s for sale. Want to know a little more, and see other shots?

Founded in 1989, Panoz Auto Development is the brainchild of Dan Panoz. With the help of his father Don, they formed a racing team which builds their own cars and happens to produce a few for the street. One of those models is the Panoz Esperante seen above. I have spied this car running around…

Mini-Trucks: A Supporting Argument

comments
In honour of yesterday’s question about mini-trucks (I know, I couldn’t get this article published in time yesterday), I think it’s only fair that I submit a little bit of research I’ve been doing on my own in the last little while. I submit, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that there is indeed a…

I Love California Vanity Plates

I love guessing what vanity plates say. It is even more fun in California where plates are allowed to have certain symbols. I once saw a plate that had a symbol of a hand then read LMYBIZ…Handle My Biz. Today after dropping my wife off at work I came upon a new(ish) BMW wagon. A…

Seeing one Citroen running healthy in the wild is a rare and exciting occurrence so what are the odds of seeing two perfectly health French sex machines in your local grocery store parking lot? If you live in California like reader dwegmull then it is probably better than most but still quite rare and exciting. Clicky the…

V.I.S.I.T. – DAF Punk Edition
/
/
comments
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.

I’ve written about the troubled but awesome Imp before, but I’ve never seen one off the track (where they’re less troubled and more awesome, generally speaking). And then this little bastard comes into view, parked in my new mecca for automotive randomness, Ballard.

V.I.S.I.T. – So, What does a 90% Restored 1982 Imperial Look Like?
/

comments
Around the same time I spotted a Dodge Ram Van, with a custom Cabriolet Roof Treatment, I spotted another Chrysler offspring in the form of a 1982 Chrysler Imperial. When these came out, they were quite breathtaking, in a weird Malaise sort of way. With a long front end, and a Seville like “Bustle Back”…
