Cape Neddick, Maine, US
Building a Sedan? Coupe? Roadster? Pickup ? Rat Rod traditional Hot Rod ! Putting an early Hemi in it ? Modern Hemi ? Hi Boy ? MOPAR Wedge? I saw this in the back of a pickup at a local swap meet recently. As soon as I caught sight of it I thought it was from a 1932 Ford 'Deuce' . To my surprise it was marked 'CHRYSLER'. Take a good look yourself. All I could see was the very top. When the seller pulled it out I knew it was not for a 'DEUCE', but appeared to be a very interesting Item ! Anyone can buy an original or repro 32 ford shell and insert. Stick it on the front of Your Rat Rod Hot Rod, and Your on Your way! Well not Me. An early MOPAR or CHRYSLER Powered Hot Rod would be really 'KOOL' with one of these instead. Looks to me You could build an insert like the deuce but this is more intended to show the radiator similar to a Model 'A' or Model 'T'. It is rusty and it 'was' chrome but I think that unless You are restoring this year Chrysler and cannot find one of these, I'd give it the 'BONDO' and primer bath and call it 'Good'. Depending on the level of 'RAT' I was after I might just leave it 'as is'. That is how I'm selling it besides ! No returns No Refunds ! Bullet holes in the top besides adding character/Patina will be a slight weight savings when it comes to shipping costs! Any Questions ?? Just ask !! I tried to determine the exact year CHRYSLER but as close as I could find was a 1924 model year.

2012 Jaguar XK Convertible Spied
Sat, 22 Jan 2011The 2012 Jaguar XK Convertible - suitably camouflaged Just last week we ran a story about a camouflaged Jaguar XJ running around on trade plates. We’d picked the photo up from Autoblog, who reckoned the photo was a facelift for the XK as a final titivate next year. We thought the trade plates were to protect the long-expected Jaguar XK Diesel from a DVLA registration check divulging it was burning oil.
Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer estate (2010) unveiled
Wed, 16 Jun 2010By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 16 June 2010 00:01 Vauxhall has slid the covers off the new Astra Sports Tourer – a mini-me, shrunken Insignia estate for less money. The two share plenty of character and were both penned under GM Europe's design boss, Mark Adams.Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer: the lowdownThe new 2010 Astra estate puts the ultimate accent on cool looks over practicality, and its vital stats suggest it's a bit of a slouch in the sofa-shifting game. The 2685mm wheelbase is identical to the hatchback's, so the boot space stands at 500 litres, only 30 litres more than the hatch with the seats up.FlexFold (optional on lower models) lets you flop each 60:40 split rear seat down at the press of a button; stow all the rear seats flat and boot space soars to a more acceptable 1550 litres.
President Obama’s Cadillac grounded on a speed bump in Dublin
Mon, 23 May 2011President Obama's Cadillac grounded in Ireland Americans take no chances when their leader travels abroad. After all, no other country has a leader so they couldn’t possibly know how to organise things. So the President of the United States travels the world on Air Force One, his very own Jumbo Jet capable of fending off attacks from any direction (at least if the President is Harrison Ford).
