1964 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan Vintage Fire Chief Wagon


This one came to my attention through Bring A Trailer. This was just too cool not to share. It's a 1964 Ford Galaxie Country Sedan Fire Chief's vehicle. It's located here on Ebay. It looks to be in very good condition and has been mostly kept in original condition. If you just glance at the photo you'd swear it's been restored or repainted but it hasn't. It does run but has some minor mechanical/electrical issues. It's located in Dixon, Illinois.

Drugs found in old cruiser

A Burrillville, Rhode Island councilman found an surprising option on a cruiser he bought through an auction from the Hartford, CT police department. Kevin Blais(Burrillville Councilman) was cleaning the 2004 Ford Crown Victoria when he found a plastic bag containing what he thought was crack cocaine. That was confirmed by local police. Hartford police were apologetic when notified. I'm sure they got a good chuckle over it.

New speedbump design

I'd love one of these for my street. This one was sent to me from my father-in-law. I don't know it's origins but it's pretty funny. Enjoy!


BMW goes white



At first glimpse this may look like your ordinary white BMW 335i. Well it's actually a black BMW with white tape. Apparently this is otherwise known as "foiling" and is made by 3M. A German fellow hired a team to wrap his BMW. From comments I've seen this is popular overseas with military, racing teams and especially taxi companies. Looks like they did a cool job to me. Of course I'm not sure how they look in person but from a distance I'd say it would be hard to tell.

How to do an oil change

This upcoming weekend I'll be doing my wife's and sister's oil change. In that spirit I found some oil change videos that are pretty interesting and sometimes humorous. I hope you enjoy them.

Rescue Me: VanDerBrink Auctions

I came across these through the Hemmings Blog. Of course these auction vehicles scream "Rescue me!". These photo's are from an upcoming auction through VanDerBrink Auctions. Makes me wish I had a ramp truck(and the buckets of money) to save some of these poor souls. The next upcoming auction on August 15-17 is in Delta Colorado featuring over 850 auto's.


When is the last time you saw a Checker station wagon?


Of course they had an old favorite of mine a 58 Impala.


Of course I had to include a Corvair.



I would love this Oldsmobile wagon.


Corvair Rampside. Don't see many of these.

Rescue Me : 1972 Oldsmobile 442


Often I surf around Ebay or Craigslist(or anywhere I find old car classifieds) and think if only I could save this vehicle. Or at least a vehicle that may be neglected that's just crying out "Save me!". I came across this ad for a 1972 Oldsmobile 442 in sad but savable condition(at least in my opinion. Unfortunately my budget forbids me at the moment for making a rescue effort. In these days of high scrap prices in pains me to think worthy classic vehicles getting crushed. Maybe by highlighting it here it might attract someone who can save this fine musclecar.
