I love American iron from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Critical thinking is the key. I block people of any political affiliation who Tweet hate and misinformation.

A ‘wet’ submarine. It’s like a boat that can sink but still keep going. As long as you have your scuba gear handy.

This looks safe. Ignore that spinning propeller right behind you.

It's 1939, so health and safety be damned! Can't find any information on this oddity....

One of the most elegant designs ever!

As #Jaguar prepared for the Seventies, the British maker’s muddled sedan lineup was replaced with a single model, the smartly designed XJ. Be sure to read Covering the Bases, the story of the 1969-73 Jaguar XJ, in the December 2024 issue of Collectible Automobile on sale now.

What strikes me most about this vintage parking lot pic is the number of unattended cars with the windows rolled down, providing easy access to the interior. How the world has changed.

When this design was introduced, the German public called the cars ‘Baroque Angels’ in response to the flowing, curvy lines. The 502 was the first postwar German car with a V8 engine.

I love that dark front-wheel-drive Cord sedan at the curb, a genuine collectible today, only made in 1936 and 1937. However, that large ChryCorp sedan in front of it is from the ‘40s, which would date this picture somewhat later.

Sunset-Vista Market was at 7415 Sunset Blvd and N. Vista St. This shot is circa mid 1930s, when they were really pushing Ben-Hur coffee, a very popular brand at the time. I love that intricate grill work. It’s an admirable effort for something that most people won’t even see.

Anyone who knew Buick knew that if you gave the brand a version of the X body, they would make a Limited version of it. The Limited was Buick’s flagship model between 1936 and 1942.

Not auto related. I find it amazing that just 26 years after the Wright brothers first demonstrated powered flight in their crude apparatus, airplanes like this were being produced. Look at those engines! (Yes, I know there were earlier French claims to powered flight.)

International Harvester was a big player in the heavy duty truck market, but not so much in the light-duty pickup market. In the late ‘60s, it introduced a new design in an effort to boost sales. Alas, IH didn’t get the memo on the transition of pickups to lifestyle vehicles.

How cool is this? Trailering your Porsche Speedster behind your ‘58 Ford convertible with wire-spoke wheels and fender skirts. This guy was living his best life.

Would you like to take a ride in my 1959 Mercury?
For the first time in ‘59, Mercury had its own chassis and body, not shared with other Ford brands. In 1958, it shared bodies with top-line Edsels and in previous years, shared with Ford models.

1948 Gasto - This unusual three-headlight car was created by Dutch rally driver Maurice Gatsonides. Seeking a way to measure performance, he invented the roadside speed measuring camera, picked up many years later by police departments.
