Hemmings Daily: The 24-Hour War; FBCG reunion wrapup

Adam Carolla's documentary on the Ford-Ferrari rivalry of the Sixties, "The 24-Hour War," will be out soon. Here's the trailer. * Robert Merz takes us for a Sunday drive in the 1925 Ford Model T that his father built from parts as a hunting rig in 1950. Not on ordinary roads, though - on the "roads" his father would have taken in the T. * Finally, who doesn't want to see Burt Reynolds wring out every bit of performance he can get from a full-size Ford in the 1973 flick "White Lightning?"

For a man whose legacy includes one of the largest and most well known car brands in the world, Louis Chevrolet's Indianapolis gravesite remains fairly humble decades after his death. His brother's headstone towers over his own, and apart from fan-added decorations, neither include any indication of the family's place in automotive history. That stands to change this weekend, however, when a new memorial to the Chevrolet brothers will be unveiled. "It's such...[Read More] LAST WEEK'S BEST DISCUSSION [EPA invites public comment on rule that would permit additional ethanol blends above E15] [EPA invites public comment on rule that would permit additional ethanol blends above E15] Posted by Daniel Strohl - Photo courtesy Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The Environmental Protection Agency last week opened public commenting on its recently introduced rule permitting fuel blends above 15 percent with the goal of introducing the rule into law by next December.
