SA DESIGN CARTECH: Rusty Pickups: American Workhorses Put to Pasture
Since the 1920s, pickup trucks have been the workhorses of American culture. The need for work trucks extends from the most urban environment to the most rural farm, and while they exist to carry heavy loads, pickups have become more than just beasts of burden. It's not unusual to see them parked behind farm buildings or stashed away in dark garages- gone, but not forgotten. The image of a once loved, but now abandoned vintage pickup truck resonates with memories of a simpler time. The images in Rusty Pickups, when captured by a talented and creative photographer like Mike Harrington, make a great collection brimming with nostalgia. When these dramatic images are teamed with print sales advertisements from the day when the truck was new, the resulting contrast makes the book even more compelling. The contrast of the ad writer's enthusiasm for a brand new pickup truck years ago and the reality of that same ghostly hunk of steel fighting the elements some 40-80 years later is truly intriguing. Rusty Pickups captures the attention of the pickup truck enthusiast as well as the art student and photo hobbyist. This collection combines all these elements together in a beautiful, colorful, and even graceful tribute to America's workhorse. Publication Date: 08/24/2011 Publisher: CarTech

Enzo Ferrari died 25 years ago today
Wed, 14 Aug 2013The word “Ferrari” is evocative enough as it is, but add “Enzo-era” to the mix and we imagine a very specific type of machine -- a vehicle that is raw, passionate, perhaps a bit prickly, but above all, utterly unique and irreplaceable. There's a reason Enzo-era Ferraris are magical: Enzo Ferrari himself. Born in 1898, Ferrari joined the Alfa Romeo racing team in 1920, established Scuderia Ferrari in 1929 and put his name on a V12-powered race car in 1947.

Ford Mondeo facelift (2010): the cabin and estate
Thu, 26 Aug 2010Ford has released these new pictures of the updated Ford Mondeo - and it's the first look we've had of the car in estate guise. We also get to see the Mondeo interior for the first time. We first published the story of the facelifted Mondeo back in June 2010, but all we had to go on then were two front shots. Today's new Mondeo photographs fill in a few of the blanks.
