From the seller's description: Well before the debut of the American Hot Rod TV Show, Boyd always pushed the boundaries from conc...[Read More] [Legendary Can-Am and Trans-Am cars reunite at Monterey] [Legendary Can-Am and Trans-Am cars reunite at Monterey] Posted by Jim Donnelly - Can-Am cars in the Corkscrew, 1973. Photo courtesy Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. How many times do you see two thunderous racing divisions both debut in the same season and, moreover, enjoy wild success along parallel courses? We can't think of another such example. So 1966 is known as more than just the year during which Ford conquered Le Mans, but also when pro-level road racing on our own shores was utterly, spectacularly transformed. It was when the Sports Car Club of America unveiled its Trans-American Sedan Ch...[Read More] [Sponsor] [Swiss artist Fabian Oefner looks at cars from a unique perspective] [Swiss artist Fabian Oefner looks at cars from a unique perspective] Posted by Kurt Ernst - 1957 Maserati 250F, the fifth work in the Disintegrating II series. Photos courtesy Studio Oefner. Swiss artist Fabian Oefner sees things differently from the rest of us. Not content to view cars (or in this case, incredibly detailed scale models of cars) as art by themselves, Oefner understands that the real beauty is in the parts that lie beneath. Following up on his 2013 photo series called Disintegrating I, Oefner has recently debuted a new series, Disintegrating II, which takes the photographer's work to an ...[Read More] [When is a Triumph TR3 like a hot dog that fell to the coals?

There are those of us old enough to remember when the classic cars now gracing concours fields and auction stages were simply daily transportation. Many were bought with wages saved from paper routes or busboy jobs, and they were constant companions through our formative years in adolescence and adulthood, witness and participant to many life adventures. These cars were certainly utilitarian, but always had a sense of fun. Seating capacities were exceeded by ro...[Read More] [New York City, 1940s] [New York City, 1940s] Posted by Daniel Strohl - The collection of Hartford photos that Joe Sokola provided us included a few from New York City, and given the lack of additional context, we have to assume that our regular Hartford photographer took a side trip to the city one day to check out the wide variety of entertainment options. Above, we see a 1947 shot of the Astor Theatre at 1537 Broadway, then below a circa 1941 shot of the Winter Garden at 1634 Broadway and another circa 1941 shot of the Loew's State Theater at 1540 Broadway. Plenty of taxis too.
