Celebrating 60 Years! I really dig this show. Well, it really isn’t a show as much as it is an event. For decades the Early Times car club has been hosting a picnic at the Compton Hunting and Fishing Club right off the 710 at Atlantic.This year they are celebrating 60 Years. I am not […]
We all have those stories. When we first saw a Corvette. America’s sports car. Maybe it was in black and white on the the CBS series “Route 66” with Martin Milner and pals for 4 seasons from 1960 to 1964. Or, like me a decade later when my next door neighbor roared home in a […]
With a History of the Tail Fin Design On this Sunday Drive with the Mercifuls we land at a private collection of American Classics. If hooded headlights and finned tail lights are your thing, then this gallery is for you! In a request for anonymity I will respect the owners right to remain private. This […]
Today we take a drive over to the Petersen Automobile Museum. Here are several of the exhibits ending with a really creative installation. We start off with “Best in Low” an exhibit of legendary lowrider icons of the street and show. From laid-out Impala’s to radically styled Schwinn’s the display is a spectacle of metalflake, […]
At the 25th Cruisin’ For A Cure It’s been a long run. Debbie Baker and her crew of volunteers have hosted this important event. An event that can easily say they have saved nearly 1000 men’s lives. It all started when Debbie’s husband was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. She claimed, “You guys take better care […]

David Smith didn’t realize that the car he bought was as rare as it appears. He couldn’t wait for the new Chevy Camaro to be available at his local Chevy dealer. When they got their first arrivals he was all set, went in and was looking at a big block car, but the 5K+ price […]
AT THE 2024 GRAND NATIONAL TRUCK SHOW We had the opportunity to roll with Pinky Swear around the second annual Grand National Truck Show at the Los Angeles Fairplex, in Pomona, California.
I’ve seen this car before at a variety of shows and today we caught up with Jordi as he pulled into the Historic Main Street Garden Grove Car Show. Quite interesting build with it’s eggshell red oxide paint and gold pinstriped flames, but the inside is an artful masterpiece. But let’s hear Jordi tell you […]
Today at the 6th Annual Kiwanisland Car Show I saw this incredibly detailed 1960 Dodge Power Wagon owned by Randy and Ellen Palmer. We don’t usually do a Motor Minute on a stock restoration, but the story of this vehicle is even more incredible. Take a moment and let Randy tell you the 40 year […]
I caught up with Alex Vanichuk as he made a stop on his week and a half road trip from Langley, British Columbia Canada to go to Donut Derelicts saturday morning. He and his wife left the boys at home, grabbed their dog and hit the road. This beautiful 1953 Chevrolet “tin-woodie” wagon sports a […]
It was hot out on the airstrip today. Mark this day July 20, 2024 because as I walk around these beautiful pieces of rolling tin my senses are time traveling back to the euphoria of post-war America. My eyes tend to go sepia, my ears are still muffled from the years of battle blasts, my […]
