Editor’s Note: This piece comes to us from regular Hemmings Daily contributor, concours judge and former North Dakota State Senator Don Homuth. More than 300 invited guests and members view 33 genuine Indy cars from nine different decades – a full field under one roof – celebrating the 100th running of the 500. Photos by […]
Plans for what will be Detroit’s newest park call for plenty of trees and gardens, walkways and reflection pools, even a kayak launch. In all, the plans appear serene and peaceful, a respite from the surrounding industrialization, though the event that the park is intended to commemorate was anything but: one of the bloodier confrontations […]
y the end of the decade, the staging lanes at local dragstrips were clogged with Foxes. The 5.0 Mustang launched a performance subculture in the 1980s spawning magazines, specialty businesses, events, references in Vanilla Ice songs, etc. The Mustang was cheap, fast and begged to be modified. B If you were a Chevrolet person at […]
And if we check out the modern-day street view of the location, we can surmise that the photo was taken from the top of what is now the Ferndale Arts Building. But that’s all pretty dry – we need some stories and some color to go along with the scene. So tell us what you […]
Ford secured the Thunderbird’s future for decades to come when it debuted the second generation in 1958. This small, six-panel fold-out brochure is dated “1/58” and exclusively highlights the new fixed-roof Hardtop model, rather than showing both that and the traditional Convertible; the 1958 Hardtop would eventually outsell the contemporary Convertible by a large margin, […]
Produced by CBS, it’s part of a series that not only chronicled selections of popular songs from the 1950s through the 1980s, performed by the various original artists, but unfolding the cover insert also reveals an enclosed rebate card for Shell oil and oil changes. My son recently found a vintage cassette called Cruisin’ Classics […]
Celebrity-owned models are an exception to the rule, and last weekend a particularlyReplica Hublot Watches clean (and claimed original) 1984 Jeep CJ-8 once owned by On the Road star Charles Kuralt crossed the auction stage in Connecticut, selling for a fee-inclusive price of $41,800, or $6,805 more than one might expect to pay for a […]
This week that van and its murals will head to a contemporary art auction in London, where it’s expected to become the most expensive step van sold at auction. The choice of the van was intentional. The pseudononymous street artist Banksy has claimed many a run-in with the police and made authoritarianism a common motif […]
eems like Ol’ Walt himself was a stickler for authenticity, too – this “Dizzy Lizzy” doesn’t seem to differ substantially from actual stunt parade cars we’ve seen. Though this 1908 Ford Model T for sale on Hemmings.com may not have been an original stunt parade car from the first half of the 20th Century, it […]
If we’re going to focus on the change between this photo and the previous (later) ones, we can’t overlook how the vehicles differ between the decades. What do you see here? Why, yes, we have seen this intersection before – several times, in fact, but none of them as early as 1965, when this photo […]
