1958 Lister-Jaguar "Knobbly," one of two such cars delivered to Briggs Cunningham in 1958. Photos courtesy Mecum Auctions. Briggs Cunningham desperately sought victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in a car of his own construction. By 1955, he began to recognize that this goal was, perhaps, unattainable, prompting him to enter both a Cunningham C-6R and a Jaguar D-type in the annual contest of endurance. Though neither car finished the 1955 race, his purchase of the D-type opened the door to a long-term relationship [View in Browser | Subscribe]( [Hemmings Daily] Friday, June 30, 2017 [Team Cunningham Lister Jaguar "Knobbly" to cross the block in Monterey]( [Team Cunningham Lister Jaguar 'Knobbly' to cross the block in Monterey]( Posted by Kurt Ernst - 1958 Lister-Jaguar "Knobbly," one of two such cars delivered to Briggs Cunningham in 1958.

Launched for the 1970 model year, the original Datsun 240Z swiftly shifted the public's opinion of the brand, and quite possibly of Japanese automakers. Previously known for building inexpensive no-frills transportation, Nissan's attractively-designed sports car proved to be a strong competitor in the segment and the relatively-ignored manufacturer began to...[Read More]( [How would you have equipped your favorite vintage vehicle if you had the opportunity to order it new?]( [How would you have equipped your favorite vintage vehicle if you had the opportunity to order it new?]( Posted by Thomas A.

If you have a classic car but you aren't the original owner, I'm sure the question above has crossed your mind before. In fact, many people have purchased project cars and decided to build them to the way they would have ordered them originally if they had the chance. That takes time, effort and money, however, so I'll do it the easier way here by daydreaming about it. ..[Read More]( [Gallery - The Great Race lunch stop in Mufreesboro, Tennessee]( [Gallery - The Great Race lunch stop in Mufreesboro, Tennessee]( Posted by Jim O'Clair - Photos by author.

But that's exactly what Mel Stultz, founder of The Race of Gentlemen did on June 21 when he postponed the Bonneville Salt Flats Drag Races that were announced less than three weeks earlier at the Wildwood, New Jersey, running of TROG.

NAPCO was an auto parts company that manufactured aftermarket four-wheel-drive conversions for various American light trucks, with the first documented completion done on a GM 3/4-ton truck in 1951. Before the introduction of General Motors' Task-Force Series trucks in 1955, the conversion could only be done on 3/4-ton GM trucks, because the previous 1/2-ton trucks had a closed driveline.
