A small crew of Sports & Exotic staffers made the six-plus hour pilgrimage to Carlisle, Pennsylvania last Friday to attend the Carlisle Import Kit/Replicar Nationals, as we’ve done the previous two years. We’ve always found neat project vehicles tucked among the vendors in the back fields, and this year was no exception; David LaChance and […]
We didn’t make it to this year’s Techno Classica Essen, but fortunately for us, Derek Scott did. Derek is a member of the Volvo P1800 group on Yahoo, so we can just imagine his reaction when he saw this Volvo diorama created for Revell. He snapped a few pictures, which he kindly sent our way.

David Cammack owns what is undoubtedly the single best collection of Tuckers and Tucker memorabilia in existence, and he’s happy to show visitors around, if they call first. Last fall, he graciously gave us a tour of his collection, for an article that will appear in the June issue of Hemmings Classic Car. While I […]
Let’s say your Citroen Dyane is just not unusual enough to suit you. What to do? Well, there’s always the woody route, complete with flame paint job…

Here’s a car-engined tank to balance out Strohl’s tank-engined car. The first to correctly identify the vehicle and its powerplant gets a swell prize (gotta be some of that holiday fruitcake left around here someplace). Should I give you a clue? Nah. No clues for you. Good luck.
What’s different about this photo I took today of my Volvo 1800S? It’s not in my garage, or in the driveway. It’s in a bank parking lot, and it got there under its own power, thank you very much. Those of you who have followed the “Bjorn to Run” series in Sports & Exotic might […]
Just got a nice note from a reader about the driveReport on the 1961 Fury that was in the June issue of Classic Car. He wondered about the resemblance between the Fury and the Type 34 Karmann Ghia that followed it by a year.
Lots of people have concluded that Ghia’s design for the more familiar […]
