From bitchen rides to antique machinery the show is right on the main intersection in Downtown La Verne, just a tossed rod distance from the famed starting line at the In-N-Out Pomona Dragstrip. One of […]
For this episode of the Motor Minute, I caught up with Gary and his wife at the Orange Plaza Rotary Car Show. I was struck by the simplicity of this cool little hot rod and after talking to Gary for a moment I wanted to share his story with you. The car was a 25 […]
A Blacktop Book Review Randy Leffingwell authored an amazing detailed history of the Porsche 911 in this beautifully hard-bound landscape book. The photos compliment the incredible detail as if we are a fly on the walls of the development studios in Zuffenhausen. The text achieves a sense of “being there” as Ferry and his team, […]

A Blacktop Motor Minute In the late 1930’s going into the 1940’s there was a streamline design aesthetic that could not be ignored by the likes of Ford Motor Company. Edsel Ford hired 22 year old Bob Gregorie in 1931. By the time he was 30, Gregorie had designed the 1936 Lincoln Zephyr, the first […]
I met Hannah at the recent Women and Wheels show at the Zimmerman Automobile Driving Museum. The show is an interesting one because the women are asked to dress in the era of their vehicle. Well, Hannah didn’t disappoint with her 1964 VW Bus. She was decked out in a cool hippie attire which won […]
