Yes he did attack the Beetle in one or two sentences in later chapters in his 'Unsafe At Any Speed'. As a result, the 1968 Beetle was the first VW in a long time one could tell what year it was a block away. The Corvair consisted of only one chapter. Craig

It appears Middleby also used wood frame rails: Craig

There is a restored Middleby in the Boyertown Museum in PA.

That is a very nice Imperial. Going by the photos, you have an equally desirable 8-passenger sedan; not the limousine with the plain black leather front seat, and divider window behind the front seat. Craig

I like how American Model T collectors prefer the Canadian fordor Ford Tourings with four opening doors over the US 'faux-dor' three-door tourings, with the stamped outline of a door opening. A lot of Canadian producion Model T's were RHD, making the opposite door operational a necessity. Craig

Does also apply to Canadian production Model T's? Craig

With very few exceptions, column shifting became an industry standard for the 1939, just as sealed beam headlights did for the next year, 1940. Prior to 1939, Studebaker had their 'Miracle Shift' vacuum-operated transmission, with the control mounted on the dash: Picture of a horn button for 1938 Commander? - Studebaker Drivers Club Forum Craig

That often happens to those who own motorhomes, that are parked in the backyard for ten months of the year. They forget to empty their potable water holding tanks, and have to buy an expensive replacement in springtime. Craig

It appears Belgium is an AACA car lover's paradise! NO street rods or cars can be butchered to create one!! Craig

That is the NATmus Museum, immediately behind the ACD Museum. Some unusual cars and trucks in there. Craig

They needed a Dependable Dodge! Craig

Now let's see a flashback to the old SIA's "DriveReport" days in HCC where they often compared two or three competing makes of cars. It would be very cool to see this 1932 Cord E-1 and the 1932 Peerless V-16 sedan which both remained prototypes up against each other. Which prototype '32 do you want to be driven around in??

Millenials weren't running the show at Hemmings in the 1990's. Craig

They caught on with a few transit systems for buses, including cold climates where its mixed with methyl hydrate. Barp.ca- Bus and Railway Photos Craig

Australia appears to be just as difficult to import vehicles, but for other reasons: Help!!! Buggy in quarantine..... - Studebaker Drivers Club Forum Craig

And next time you are there, you can take a selfie of you and your 'lady of the night' standing in that spot and post it here, too!! Craig

I remember doing that at night in the 1960's with our console hi-fi AM radio; searching for distant radio stations. It was able to pick up faraway radio stations, usually along the West Coast, including KOMO in Seattle and KFI in Los Angeles. All the stations I could clearly pick up started with 'K', until one night, I was able to listen to WHO radio in Iowa, the first (and only) 'W' station that home hi-fi was able to receive from Edmonton. Craig

RML proved he could not foresee the future of General Motors in his various publications in the 1970's with lines like "GM is too big to fail.", etc. About ten years later in his Car Collector column he did write about GM's declining market share; especially Cadillac's forfeiting the higher end market to the Germans, and later, Lexus and Infiniti, and no longer "Standard of the World". Craig

What year did Ford actually start manufacturing police cars or "Interceptors" with heavier-duty components, including the generator to handle the extra spotlights and two-way radio? Craig

Car radios got even more interesting just before the second world war, when shortwave was offered. More common on European cars, but Philco did offer shortwave tuners: Short Wave Radio? - Studebaker Drivers Club Forum Of course because of FM's limited range compared to AM (BC) and shortwave, it never became popular in cars until the early 1960's, although Lincoln did offer a floor-mounted FM tuner around 1960. Craig

Is Roy Tucker, the restorer & then owner of the car, and Joe Heacock Jr., the author of the article still around to ask for more source information? Craig

Many of us disagreed in those threads, which is why I specifically mentioned those post numbers which corrected the previous poster's comments. Craig
