Reagan's CJ-6 one of two presidential vehicles going on the National Register of Historic Vehicles Posted by Daniel Strohl - Photo courtesy Ronald Reagan Library, Historic Vehicle Association. It's got dings and dents. It's been rolled. It's neither the first nor the last of its breed, has no particularly special equipment, and is one of thousands like it to roll off an assembly line. But the Historic Vehicle Association saw fit to choose President Ronald Reagan's 1962 Jeep CJ-6 - even over the pristine CJ-8 that the president also owned - as one of a pair of presidential vehicles to go on the National Register of Historic Vehicles. ...

Hemmings Find of the Day - 1984 Ford Mustang Predator GT302 Posted by Kurt Ernst - >From 1983 through 1986, those looking for a Ford Mustang GT with a little extra flash could opt for a Predator Mustang, built by Solomon America and sold through select Ford dealerships. The brainchild of Tom Solomon, the Predator package was really more show than go, but featured things like a four-point roll bar, a hood scoop, a "Monte Carlo" bar (to stiffen the chassis), eight-spoke wheels, GT302 badging, and Predator valve covers. Eight were built in 1983, but this 1984 Ford Mustang Predator GT302, for sale on H...Read On>>

Recommended Reading: "What's it Like Out There," by Mario Andretti Posted by Richard Lentinello - Scans of book from author's collection. Back in the spring of 1971 I was in my freshman year of high school and one of our English assignments that semester was to read a book of our choice and write a report on it. Having been a total car nut even then, with a deep interest in Grand Prix cars and the Indy 500, it was only natural that I write about racing. At some small bookstore in my Brooklyn neighborhood, I found the ideal book: What's It Like Out There? Not only was this a book about racing but it was writ...Read On>>
Classic and vintage-inspired machinery at the 2016 New York Auto Show Posted by Terry Shea - Photos by author. Automakers are constantly pressured to bring out new and fresh products, virtually being required to reinvent the wheel, if you will, to get customers into showrooms. Of course, they can never let go of their best cars and ideas from years past, something all of us here in Hemmings Nation know all too well. 1969 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R At the New York Auto Show, which we recently attended on the press preview days, the automakers showed an awful lot of vintage iron to go with their lat...Read On>>
Norway, 1970s Posted by Daniel Strohl - Whoever it was that recently sent me an archive page dedicated to Esso gas stations in Norway - because we get submissions like that all the time! - thank you. Several of the photos on that page make for decent carspotting photos, including these three, which come from Sandnes (above), Sola (below), and Oslo (bottom). While we're used to seeing a couple American cars sprinkled in among some of the Scandinavian carspotting photos we run, there's a few unexpected ones in these three. What do you see here? ...Read On>> This Day in Automotive History 3/28/1941: | Ford breaks ground for Willow Run plant. |
