This 1989 Bentley Mulsanne S, a total of which 909 were built over a 4 year period, is a fantastic car to use as a daily driver, or as an enjoyable weekend car for fun outings with friends to dinner, going to church or just a nice Sunday drive. The "S" model of the Mulsanne was a spiced up version of the previous Bentley models, and it shares most of the me...[Read More] [As the Firestone Super Sports Wide Oval tire turns 50, a new radial version arrives] [As the Firestone Super Sports Wide Oval tire turns 50, a new radial version arrives] Posted by Thomas A.

The price was right - $400, which I borrowed from my father. Since I was only making $86 per month money was a little tight. A 1955 Champion engine had been installed in place of the original, which had thrown a rod. The new engine gave the car better performance than most '49 cars. Within two weeks the hood and rear deck ornaments were gone and the holes leaded ...[Read More] [Fort Myers, Florida, 1950s] [Fort Myers, Florida, 1950s] Posted by Daniel Strohl - Date: Circa 1950s Location: Edwards Drive and Jackson Street, Fort Myers, Florida Source: Vieilles Annonces on Flickr What do you see here?...[Read More] [Sponsor] [This Day in Automotive History] THIS DAY IN AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY 11/3/1900: First national auto show of Automobile Club of America, N.Y.C., Madison Square Garden, November 3-10 11/3/1911: Swiss immigrant Louis Chevrolet and U.S. entrepreneur Billy Durant founded the Chevrolet Motor Car Company.
