Barrett-Jackson 2012
(Preview)
The AZ extravaganza has begun: Last night a 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint Conv. sold for $6,000 more than a 1965 Ford Mustang Conv.! Did anyone, besides me, think that painting a 1947 Cadillac Fleetwood Sedan candy apple red and doing the interior in red crushed velour was an abomination? Hardly represen...

Auntie Pearl, our Allante, for which a car cover was just puchased, will begin her winter nap tomorrow. The Gray Lady will soon begin her period of hibernation. Fir...

Milwaukee Masterpiece
(Preview)
We took part in The Milwaukee Masterpiece Car Show "Club Day" this past weekend. It was an interesting experience. The venue, being at Veteran's Park on the lakefront is fantastic. The weather was great. The cars on the show field were a notch or two above those seen at the normal-run-o...

The Style of Cars
(Preview)
I've often wondered how the style of cars evolved. Was it function that caused the evolving style? Or, would have they evolved naturally or even was it because of WWII and the eventual advent of jet aircraft? I think it's a little of all of these. Did the cars get lower and wider due to the function of i...

Gas Prices
(Preview)
Think we have it bad? My New Zealand friends report that gas there is $2.25/Litre. That comes out to a mere $8.57/gal. Ouch!

The Day in the Car Barn
(Preview)
The temps here in Milw yesterday were in the 80's! So, the wife wanted to take the Allante out for the first time this year. I get in, turn the key and let the fuel pump do its thing, along with the brake booster. Then I turn the key to full on and nothing! Seems as though the Battery Tender clamp on the grou...

Tires on old/older cars
(Preview)
I've had to learn again, through misfortune, that tires don't age gracefully. My 92 thunderbird has only been driven 20,000 miles in the last 10 years. Recently my wife and I purchased a newer car for her daily use so the Thunderbird went back in to more use as I'm getting older and the LX features all...
