CONTENTS:

The "Other Chrysler Building" (A visit to the Walter P. Chrysler Museum, including the story of how it came to be and the people who made it happen.

The Many Faces of Chrysler Heritage (Who's who, which companies merged, when things happened. A concise schematic history of the Chrysler Heritage Brands and the men who made them successful.)

The Cannonball Challenger (Car and Driver editor-at-large Brock Yates, the man who created the infamous Cannonball Run and authored recent books about Enzo Ferrari and Harley-Davidson, writes about his beloved 1972 Dodge Challenger.)

A Woman at the Wheel (The adventures of an undaunted 22-year-old East Coast socialite who becomes the first woman to drive the 3,800 miles between New York and San Francisco. In 1909! In a Maxwell!)

Room for Five: The 1939 Dodge Hayes Coupe (In one fell swoop Chrysler and the Hayes Body Company banish the rumble seat, create a roomy and practical coupe, and foreshadow the "flexible floor planning" found in today's Dodge Caravan and PT Cruiser.)

An Automotive Enthusiast's Paradise (Find out "what's in store" for car fans who like to wear, collect, read, and talk about their favorite vehicles from their favorite car company.)

Restorations: Tanks for the Memories (A behind the scenes look at the current Museum restoration projects: a 1938 Dodge Airflow tanker and a Chrysler-designed and built 30-cylinder Sherman tank engine.)

On the Block: Imperial Majesty at Meadow Brook (Two classic Chrysler Imperials go on the auction block at the Meadow Brook Hall Concours d'Elegance and Forward has a front row seat.)

From the Archives: The Mark of Zeder (We explore the Chrysler Historical Archives and learn a lesson or two about the creation of the famed Chrysler gold seal emblem.)

Collectors' Corner: Harold Sullivan and The Silver Bullet (How one man recaptured his slightly misspent youth by building one of the world's finest collections of Mopar muscle cars, including a Woodward Avenue street racing legend.)

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

In case there was any doubt, Bugatti posted footage on Monday of its $2.6 million Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse hitting a record-setting 254.04 mph at Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien test track. Chinese racing driver Anthony Liu was behind the wheel. If you'll remember, when Bugatti had its hardtop top-speed record pulled, it quickly set this test in motion to quiet any detractors.

Ford Energi drivers use all-electric mode 60 percent of the time

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Ford has noticed quite a few interesting things by researching how owners use their Ford plug-in hybrids. It appears that Ford owners are driving their hybrids in electric mode nearly 60 percent of the time, using their cars' 21 miles of gas-free all-electric range. This figure contrasts quite a bit with the 41 percent of all-electric drive time earlier in the year, demonstrating that winter driving patterns differ quite a bit from summer driving.
