Our thanks go our to Old Cars Weekly. It is one of our long time favorite publications. Mike Denney is a confirmed fan of cars that are authentic and unmolested. Given a choice between a modified car and one that’s unmolested, he’ll lean to the factory-issue version most of Welcome to the the time. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule.

He’s never regretted bringing home the Northstar Region the Capri and adding it to his collection.

He simply knew a great car when he saw it. of the Lincoln and “It has a later-model 351 engine and C4 transmission,” says Denney, a resident of Mounds, Continental Owners Oklahoma, near Tulsa. “I bought it from a guy who bought it from a man who modified it.

Most early car collectors were automobile dealers who took in old cars on trade and realized that they had historical sig- nificance. However, there was no formal “old-car hobby” at that time. The founding of the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) is really the event that started the old-car hobby. The AACA was formed by a small group of men who attended the Antique Automobile Derbies held in connection with the Philadelphia Auto Show. They began, SPRING in 1931. After the fourth such Derby, Frank Abramson and Theodore Fiala conceived of the idea of forming an antique automobile club with the previous year’s Derby participants as members. They approached Jack Dlugash, who promoted the Derbies, and got the participants’ names and TURLOCK addresses. In a letter dated Sept. 20, 1935, they got the Derby participants interested in forming a club. That means that 2015 will mark the 60th anniversary of the old-car hobby.

    Personalities at California Auto Museum …Richard Floch, Docent Class of 2007 You could say that this month’s CAMprofiles is a fraud—or maybe we just couldn’t catch up with you for interviews over the Holidays. The individual featured this month isn’t one of us…except in spirit perhaps. He never set foot in CAM although he would have been right at home in a blue vest...if he could find one to fit his portly 6’2” frame that is. But for many car guys from the Baby Boom generation who grew up thumbing through the newest issue of Mechanix Illustrated to find his latest road test, he was for us, our own Uncle Tom, the original chrome-dome. Tom McCahill, Automotive Journalist …before there was such a thing His grasp of automotive engineering was probably not at good as many shade tree mechanics of his day— Tom McCahill’s degree from Yale was in fine arts and he had failed at running Murray’s Garage in NYC during the Depression— but Tom didn’t let that stop him from becoming the most widely read Automotive Journalist for nearly 30 years and perhaps the first to be given that title. Coming out of the war and unable to find a job, McCahill walked into the offices of the small format, 15¢ monthly Mechanix Illustrated and suggested that the country was about to go crazy for new cars and they should hire him to do a regular automotive feature. His first ‘road test’, a term he coined that is now firmly a part of the automotive lexicon, was written using his own 1946 Ford.

  • Car-Register-2011.Do
    Foreword From 2005 to the present, I have been the official Cunningham Motorsport Historian. My hobby website www.briggscunningham.com has been improving and expanding partially in preparation for the first ―Cunningham Gathering‖ of cars which took place on January 23, 2011. Much research and updating of the individual car histories and ownership records was undertaken. All current owners were located and they have assisted in following the trail and verifying as best as possible. To quote my predecessor in this quest for data, B. Bruce Briggs – ―The Register is as accurate as can be…This is a Register; it is not a history of the B.S. Cunningham Company, nor is it a technical treatise on the design of the Cunningham cars…‖. An honest attempt has been made to the best of my ability to update data from his January, 1982 revised edition through the intervening almost thirty years to 2011. Many people and sources have been extremely helpful in this endeavor. They include all current owners of C-1, C2Rs, C-3s (27 cars), C4Rs, C5R, C6R vehicles. Also, the following people have provided much data & info: John C. Fitch, Scott George + Peter Blacksford + Paul Kirstein (all of CH Motorcars/Collier Collection), Dr. Fred Simeone Foundation), Bill Green + Mark Steigerwald (both of Watkins Glen – International Motor Racing Research Center), the following Motorsport Historian writers – Michael Lynch, Carl Goodwin, Janos Wimpffen, Tom Cotter, Michael Argetsinger, Willem Oosthoek, Pete Lyons, Tim Considine, the Cunningham family members – Briggs S.

  • My Pride and Joy Matt, Katie and Margaret Foley's Mark II
    Volume 19 Issue 2 February 1, 2019 My Pride and Joy Matt, Katie and Margaret Foley’s Mark II As told by Matt Foley, who dearly loves his Mark II. Like many of you, I will never forget the first time I saw a Continental Mark II. I was filling my gas tank when a distinguished looking gentleman pulled up to the pump ahead of me in a pristine black model. Although I had seen pictures of the Mark II, this was the first time I had ever seen one in the flesh, and it literally left me speechless. Perhaps what makes this anecdote unique is that it occurred in the twenty-first century at a Costco because I was born almost a quarter century after the Mark II was first introduced to the public. Welcome to the At that point in my life, I was the proud owner of a 1955 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Spe- Northstar News, the cial. For years, it was the car I dreamed of owning and to this day it remains my first monthly publication of pride and joy. I have loved the “big boat” luxury cars of yesteryear since I was very the Northstar Region young, and when my friends and I talk about what we have come to call the “short list” of cars we hope to someday own, my list has always been filled with vehicles that fit that of the Lincoln and description. Up until that fateful day at Costco, though, I had always said that if I ever Continental Owners owned a Lincoln it would be an early “slab side” or a postwar Mark I.

  • Chevrolet – La Storia Di Un Marchio Globale
    Chevrolet – La Storia di un Marchio Globale A. Louis Chevrolet e la leggenda di Beaune Come molti inventori e pionieri, Louis Chevrolet (1878-1941), pilota e progettista di automobili, rappresenta uno stimolo ispiratore per qualsiasi storico o biografo. Miti e leggende circondano lui e la sua vita. Sono numerosi gli aneddoti che si raccontano sulla sua carriera, tanto che oggi risulta molto difficile distinguere tra realtà e finzione. L’infanzia e la giovinezza di Chevrolet sono ben documentati. È nato il giorno di Natale del 1878 nella città di La Chaux-de- Fonds, nella Regione francofona della Svizzera. Ha trascorso la sua infanzia nelle vicinanze del piccolo e tranquillo villaggio di Bonfol, ancora oggi una piccola cittadina dove l'unico ricordo del suo famoso figlio è una lapide commemorativa in Place Louis Chevrolet. Quando Louis aveva nove anni la sua famiglia si trasferì a Beaune, in Francia, dove il padre possedeva un negozio di orologi, che però fallì, con il risultato che Louis iniziò a lavorare all'età di undici anni per sostenere la sua famiglia. Trovò impiego presso il negozio di biciclette Robin, dove ha imparato i fondamenti della meccanica. Ha riparato carrozze e biciclette, finché un giorno è stato inviato all’"Hotel de la Poste" per riparare un triciclo a vapore appartenente ad un americano. Questo fu il momento in cui Chevrolet si innamorò due volte. In primis delle automobili e poi dell’idea di emigrare in America. L'americano, a cui Chevrolet aveva riparato il triciclo insieme anche ad altri, non era altro che il miliardario Vanderbilt.

  • Generations R7
    Chrysler 300 History First Generation: 1955-1956 Officially offered for sale on February 10, 1955, the first Chrysler 300 was athletic- looking, but it didn’t have a letter at the end of its name. With 300 horsepower aboard, it was among the quickest cars of its time, getting to 60 mph in just 9.8 seconds, according to a test in Mechanix Illustrated by “Uncle Tom” McCahill, who also spurred the car up to a full 130 mph. Tom McCahill and others in the contemporary automotive press used the term “Beautiful Brutes” to describe Chrysler 300 series cars. But beyond being the most powerful production car of its time, the first Chrysler 300 was also among the best handling thanks to a heavy- duty suspension and can be considered one of the muscle car's ancestors, though much more expensive and exclusive. It was also very luxurious and handsome in a bulky linebacker sort of way. But the most prominent display of the first 300’s attributes didn’t come in any showroom, but on racetracks around the Southeast. Back in ‘55, NASCAR stock cars were in fact stock production vehicles and, except for some crude safety equipment and numbers on the doors, almost indistinguishable from the cars the public could buy. With absolutely no support from Chrysler, Mercury Outboard founder Carl Kiekhaefer campaigned a fleet of white 300s during the 1955 NASCAR Grand National season with drivers like the Flock brothers (Tim, Fonty and Bob) and Norm Nelson behind the wheel. The Kiekhaefer 300s were spectacularly dominant and overwhelmed the factory- backed Chevrolets and Fords.
