A 1956 Dodge D-500 by itself is a pretty rare car, a Custom Royal Lancer D-500 convertible is incredibly rare. Earlier cars built from the release...

Just got back from my very first trip to the GNRS in Pomona. What an outstanding event it was! If you haven't overdosed on pics of the show yet,...
Just found out about this today. No affiliation of any kind on my part. Looks like it has very good potential. Since I won't be able to attend,...
One of GM's finest hours of engineering and yet largely overlooked, even today. These cars were a big case of culture shock, following the era of...
It seemed like, at one time that all the hot set-ups were "de-stroked". Now of course everybody wants a stroker motor. When I was younger,...
Timing is everything. Great car! It never ceases to amaze me at the number of nice Forward Look cars that keep popping up in Washington and...
General Motors researchers install the combustion system-steam generator in the first modern steam car developed by the automobile industry. The...
It's interesting that the British land speed steam car in 2009 didn't exactly shatter the record that was 100 years old, considering the amount of...
Here it is in writing from the State of Missouri. If you violate this law it is the prosecuting attorneys responsiblility for action, and it's...
http://www.shipgreyhound.com/ Go Greyhound. Get a quote at the link above. It's ideal for this very type of thing, especially if you aren't in a...
I have somewhat the same dilemma on my '57 'Dome. You can do a lot of little custom things and still keep the DeSoto vibe on the car. To me the...
Big A - That is a great pic of that Chrysler coming out of the barn. Here are a couple of my finds for this year. Not barn finds, but more like...
It's an employers labor market right now and the welding trades are saturated. Saturated to the point where some of the trade schools around here...
Try Monroe part number MON5821 for the fronts. This number should be available just about anywhere, or you can cross that number to other brands...
Great looking body style. These cars don't really need a lot to get a custom look to them. A lot of people ditch the suspenders because that's...
It's not for a DeSoto 330/Powerflite, which would be 1956. There are no cooling provisions on those. However, the bellhousing on my '57 Sportsman...
Hedman's application chart is optimistic. Nunzi's sells both round port and D-port headers for the early 60's full-size Pontiacs. You won't give...
My early Mopar Hollander shows the following - it's a pretty narrow window. '61 Dodge 6-Cylinder: '60-'61 Dodge, Plmouth or Valiant...
Rare indeed. Only 435 made, one year only production. A well-restored one, even in this economy, will bring $100K+ at auction. You'll make your...
The asking price is in the ballpark. Don't assume that's his selling price, he'll come down. Make the deal contingent that the block, crank and...
Outstanding footage, that's a real treasure. Powered by 4 Pontiacs, shifted by 4 Cadillacs. Others have gone faster, but 50 years later, I believe...

The T41 option included the Endura front end and hood, available in '71 and '72 on all A-bodies including 4-doors and station wagons. There are...
Three digit stamps were not uncommon. Virtually all of the codes from '60-'64 were 3-digit codes. The 6 digit code above the XYJ is the Motor...
WE56 should be a '56 Chrysler 331 Poly. Maybe that's why you can't find it in the ID charts.
I have a full set of measurement tools plus my own standards and I still use Plastigage as a sanity check. Plastigage has a bad rep and a lot of...
