In the wake of the Model T reaching its centenary I wanted to make sure that the fact that the Morgan Car Company was turning 100 next year (2009) was on your radar screen. This utterly unique company is still in the Morgan family. still makes cars by hand in Malvern, England on an ash wood frame just like it has always done and is still making its famous 4/4 to the same basic design it introduced in 1936. This is the car that would eventually replace the three-wheeler which made it famous in its early years.

Jaguar Concours or Festival?

We generally take for granted that we’ll be safe when we get behind the wheel. Most of us will be; others won’t. Take Porsche racing driver, Rick Bye. On January 29, 1998, he was transporting his race-car hauler to the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona. Rick was behind the wheel of his Ford F-350 pickup. As he crested a hill on Interstate 77 in North Carolina, he saw the back ends of two tractor-trailer rigs that were stopped and waiting for traffic to clear. There was no way he could stop in time. The cab of Rick’s truck plowed into one of the trailers, and his tragedy began. Fortunately, one of his race crew, Rob, walked away with only a few bumps and scratches. Another one of those strange instances when one person walks away from a horrific accident and the other needs to be cut out of the vehicle and airlifted to the hospital. Rick was given a two percent chance to live and Crash Test tells the story of what it took to beat those odds – from the phone call about the accident to the day Rick left the rehab center.

As a middle school student, I hated working on the collage assignment. Simply put, I just don't lend myself well to decoupage, and the subsequent grade reflected that.

Far from Elvis’s personalized Cadillac on the taste scale, is this 1981 Frank Sinatra Limited Edition Chrysler Imperial we found for sale at eBay Motors.

It’s only fitting that the Boomer on Board and Geezer on Board signs take over where the Baby on Board signs left off.

Sure to be one of the stars of the upcoming Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale this January, Carroll Shelby’s personal 1969 Shelby GT500 convertible is a stunner.

Mr. Shelby must have thought highly of the 428 Cobra Jet powered convertible, as he racked up a considerable 69,725 miles on the car from new. In fact, we’re told that this is the only Shelby Mustang that he has owned since it was taken off the assembly line.

Don’t be mistaken about the condition of the well-traveled GT500 though; the car has since undergone a thorough restoration, bringing this driver back up to the level of a concours showpiece.

With no reserve specified, and a crowd of well-heeled enthusiasts packing the Barrett-Jackson tent, we look forward to a very hot winter’s day when this one goes under the gavel.

+ Jalopnik: Carroll Shelby's Personal GT-500 to Be Auctioned Off

Though its claims as the successor to the Volkswagen Beetle have been proved spurious over time, we can’t help but admire Yugo’s pluck with this ad revealing the “road back to sanity.

Everybody needs a Yugo sometimes? Maybe in the country where this was filmed. Fans of 80’s hair, bad dubbing, and of course the timelessly lovable Yugo, take note; Yugoslavian nirvana in a 30 second spot.

In the tuner spirit of SEMA and Las Vegas, we could hardly pass up sharing this amazing 1965 Cadillac Eldorado.

Allegedly designed in collaboration with legendary customizer George Barris and the king of rock’n roll himself, Elvis Presley, this eBay auction may very well represent the tackiest Cadillac of all time.

The monster 1965 Eldorado convertible has been bathed in 40 coats of gold pearlescent paint, and splattered with healthy portions of guitars, gold velvet, and signatures of the King.

We're usually not fond of sales literature that, for the most part, simply reprints articles from various buff books. What's to gain from that? We'd rather pour over the polished rhetoric, images and specifications ourselves without being immediately barraged by editorial content.
