[Hemmings Find of the Day - 1979 Datsun 280ZX]( Posted by Daniel Strohl - Delahaye-inspired wood-bodied 1979 Datsun 280ZX nicknamed "The Dolphin" for sale on Hemmings.com. From the seller's description: I'm an artist who loves cars. The 1930's French automobiles designed by Figoni and Falaschi were the inspiration for this car. The wood is from a 250 year old Redwood tree that shaded my shop until it fell down in a windstorm in 1981. The car has the look of a 30's classic with the feel and sound of a 50's British sports car but without the mechanical problems. It took over 5 years workin...[Read More](

[Pinin Farina-bodied 1947 Delahaye 135MS coupe sets auction record at Amelia Island]( Posted by Kurt Ernst - French automaker Delahaye introduced its 135 model in 1935, and war years excluded variations remained in production until 1954.

On March 8, this unique French-Italian hybrid crossed the auction stage at Bonhams Amelia Island sale, selling for $478,000 to set a new auction record for the model. Of the Delahaye 135 variants, the 135MS (for Modifie Sp...[Read More](

[What new car owners said regarding the 1967 Buick GS 400]( Posted by Thomas A. DeMauro - When collecting magazine stories regarding muscle cars I own, I usually seek out road tests that feature lots of performance figures. In my enthusiasm to take in all the mechanical specifications, 0-60 times, quarter-mile ETs and trap speeds, and braking distances, as well as the insightful prose that normally accompany them, I sometimes lose sight of the fact that when most of these muscle machines were purchased new, their owner's requirements extended well beyond how quick and stylish they were. These high-per...[Read More](
