    Ardenne tour

    This year we saddled up in a '64 Citroen ID-19 and took a tour of the Bulge area of the Ardennes on the way to the War and Peace Show in the UK. Here are some pictures. Sherman tank turrets indicate where the 101st Airborne stopped the advance of the 47th Panzer Lehr during its...

    Make it DeSoto for '58

    For you mid-century guys and gals, FS on ebay is my 1958 DeSoto Firedome. A clean, native-California example of the best of Virgil Exner's "Forward Look" cars. It's the look and feel of the future...

    The Ludendorff Bridge

It's one thing to drive a ww2 vehicle, quite another to do it over the same landscape as...

    Driving golden era cars in the modern era

    Haven't seen this one discussed. We can't live in the past but it's a nice place to visit, especially in a swing-era car. Cars of the '30s and '40s were built before Eisenhower's freeways. Most have under 100 hp. Most are 3-speeds and lack overdrive. If you go for an authentic look, your car has...

    New hat routine

    Searched the stickies and the important threads and perhaps I missed it, so please direct me if I did. In "Woman of the Year," Spencer Tracy does this little folding and shaping routine with his new hat, apparently to get the brim to break in just the right place or at just the right angle...
