Today I joined a friend to look at this 1940 GMC truck that was advertised for sale on Craigslist. My expectations were low, but this truck is really very nice. The body has been repainted but is in remarkable original condition given its 72-year-old age. All of the metal is straight with no filler. Some minor rust bubbles have popped […]

My eyelids sprang open, and I glanced at the alarm clock hoping it was at least 5:00 AM. Unfortunately, it read 2:46. I would need more sleep, but I felt like I just slammed back an espresso doppio. 3:08…3:37…. Be still. Relax. Breathe. 3:44…4:09…. In and out of sleep now, tossing and turning.

Today Dave May and I had the good fortune to drive and shoot two vintage Ferraris, both 1972 models. An article and a series of photographs are coming soon. Meanwhile, here’s Dave snapping a shot of the 365 GTB/4 with its headlamps up. What a day!

Volkswagen has a gallery of Type 181 photos recently posted on their media site, including the ones below. Children of the sixties and seventies may remember the Type 181 as The Thing. My high school classmates may recall that funny looking yellow car I drove back in the day. Oddly for inland suburban Atlanta, two of my classmates had Type […]
