Tribute to Chad McQueen at Porsche Palm Springs
A few photos from the tribute to Chad McQueen held at Porsche Palm Springs. Chad was a dedicated caretaker of his dad's car collection, and was the consummate car enthusiast. It was a treat to photograph a few of my favorite Porsche automobiles.
Mr. Gasser aka Big Daddy Roth
To pass the time, I'm documenting the weirdest stuff I have in my house... Here's Mr. Gasser, who reminds me of my auto shop teacher at Millikan High School, Mr. Schafer. He was one of my favorite teachers, but strongly suggested that I might not make a very good auto mechanic. I'm glad I took… Continue reading Mr. Gasser aka Big Daddy Roth
Last Stop for Gas: Palm Springs
It's exactly 111 miles from Paramount Studios in Los Angeles to the racquet club in downtown Palm Springs. For gas-thirsty cars of the 1960s, this classic Albert Frey-designed Enco gas station, with it's cantilever roof built in 1965, was a welcome sight for movie stars arriving to the city for a secret getaway from Hollywood.… Continue reading Last Stop for Gas: Palm Springs
Peter Brock + the 1963 Lola GT Mk6 Prototype
Another incredible car on display at the 2020 Dr George Car Show was this 1963 Lola GT Mk6 prototype, the first of three designed by Lola's Eric Broadley. Eric was then hired by Ford in 1963 to design the Ford GT40. Ford bought this very Lola GT from Broadley to test components of the new… Continue reading Peter Brock + the 1963 Lola GT Mk6 Prototype

The special livery of this car celebrates the final pair in a remarkable string of four consecutive Le Mans overall victories for Ford. This 2019 Ford GT is painted in… Continue reading The 2019 Ford GT Heritage Edition
Porsche vs. Porsche
When I saw these beautiful Porsche automobiles together over the weekend, I wondered... which would be my fantasy choice to fill the empty space in the garage - the Saturday-ready track car or the Sunday-cruising 356?
Flashback to the legends of Kustom Kulture
Had a flashback to the golden age of California custom cars at the Dr. George Car Show today. This is the incredibly awesome #Atomitron, which started life as a 1949 Studebaker pickup until John Saltsman dug deep into the '50s and '60s hot rod kustom kulture with the help/inspiration of some of the great SoCal… Continue reading Flashback to the legends of Kustom Kulture
She gets what she wants.
She saw it. She wanted it. She gets what she wants.
1915 Hispano Suiza Hot Rod
The formula for a 140+ mph hot rod is simple... find a high-torque 18.5 liter Hispano Suiza airplane engine from 1915, attach a 1919 Delage bus gearbox before mounting it into a lightweight 1915 Hispano Suiza chassis that's fitted with an Albion garbage truck rear-end, then stopped by mechanical chain drum brakes. Another favorite from Jay's collection that… Continue reading 1915 Hispano Suiza Hot Rod
