This is a movie about a band that DOESN'T make it. The movie starts around the assassination of JFK. Douglas (John Magaro) is a shy nerdy high school kid from New Jersey. He joins a neighborhood band to play the drums. With the encouragement of hot girl Grace (Bella Heathcote), he becomes the lead ...
Robert Blake has one of the best roles of his career as John Wintergreen, a dedicated motorcycle cop who yearns for more in life. What he'd really like is to be a detective - to wear a suit, a Stetson, and "get paid to think". He gets his chance when he discovers what first appears to be ...

My '63 Valiant wagon uses the rear drum braking system for emergency brakes, Rick (as well as having a park pawl for the transmission). That's consistent with your observation.
What did Mother MoPar do for emergency braking before 1949? Or are emergency brakes a post-WWII invention?
In November of 2009, Aivar sent me some pictures of his 1958 Regal Lancer from a car show he attended with Filly 0n 9/27/2009. I don't know what the venue was, and I never posted these pictures. Perhaps they appear elsewhere, but here for the first time. Regal Lancer Aivar & Filly Sept 27 20...

This is a posthumous recreation of a webpage first posted for Aivar in 2007, scanned from photographs he supplied to me - so it is obviously dated. Filly appears in many of these photos - then his "sweetheart" girlfriend, she is now his widow... Condolences, Filly. In 2006, Aivar and his a...

Ed Prichard bought this derelict Savoy in 2017 from someone in Georgia, and dragged it home to Madisonville, TN where he commenced work on it in earnest. It was powered by... a four cylinder Perkins diesel! How did Plymouths come to be diesel powered? That is in itself a bit of a mystery, which you ...
Interesting, to think that Schmidt had to be cautious about what he said, and to not contradict Exner, who was not only Schmidt's boss, but also an impediment to take over Chrysler styling as its VP Styling. The timing is also interesting, because it was about that time when Chrysler contracted wit...
[Excerpted from Popular Mechanics, January, 1959.] cover.jpg Taking part in the Popular Mechanics interview were Virgil M. Exner, Chrysler Vice-President and Director of Styling, and William M.
