Tiny Cars, Big Ideas

Tiny Cars, Big Ideas
This is one of those shape-shifters... looks really cool from certain angles while from others, well... not so much. I do think it could give the Smart Car (ugly as sin to my eyes) a run for its money. Myers Motors could be on to something.

Solitude

Shorty's


I have long been a fan of big Detroit iron... particularly mid-sixties Buicks. Reader Mike from CT sent me some photos recently of of his 1965 Buick Electra 225 Custom Coupe. Custom refers to the all vinyl interior and the black on black really sets off the crisp styling on this runner. All factory except wheels, offenhauser valve covers, and factory correct black repaint. It features the 401 Nailhead 4bbl and is one of the few coupes with rare cornering lights.

Mike says he drove the car from Connecticut to Detroit in 2008 for the Woodward Dream Cruise... 1,600 trouble free miles in one week. He found Shorty's off of Woodward Ave... a perfect backdrop for this black beauty.

Fairhaven Bruiser





A friend of mine came across this 4,000 pound beast recently in Fairhaven, MA. It's in extremely nice shape for a coastal new england location. The third generation 67' Grand Prix featured an all new front end with disappearing headlights and parking lamps hidden above in the fender tips.
