    Roger Barr of Chasing Classic Cars

    Stumbled onto this yesterday and it seems like a sad story. According to his son (posting on Roger's page on FB) Roger has been laid up twice over the past few months with infections that he believes were caused by working on the Minerva that Wayne Carini (host of Chasing Classic Cars on...

    1970 Sport Fury GT TV Commercial (+other 1970 Chrysler ads)

    I never saw a commercial for a '70 Sport Fury GT until now: Since these are from the Canadian (CBC) network feed of the 1969 World Series, and Chrysler was a major sponsor, there are numerous other 1970 Chrysler ads in here if you want to watch. Fun stuff.

    Retired!!!

    Hey gang, sorry I haven't been here so much lately. I've been busy wrapping things up at work because as of last Friday, May 30th, I am officially retired from the Province of Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation! Been thinking about doing this for a while, especially since I had...

    1973 Super Bowl Chrysler

    I came across this old film of the 1973 Super Bowl pregame and halftime festivities. In the video at the 35 second mark, there is a brief shot of a '73 Chrysler 2-door parading some celebrities - I believe the Apollo astronauts - around the stadium. The video is here: Is that just a standard...

    "Car and Track" video - 1969 Chrysler Newport test

    I'm wondering if anyone can point me to a copy of this video road test. You might remember that back in The Good Old Days of Speedvision, they used to run old episodes of Bud Lindemann's "Car and Track" TV show from the late '60s/early '70s. On one of those episodes he tested a '69 Newport. I...

    Not a C-Body, But It's Mine

    Not even a Mopar, actually... I hardly ever get this out these days. Maybe next year when I'm hoping to be retired I'll have more time. But last evening was a lovely night and there was a little informal gathering not too far away, so I dusted it off. These are just iPhone pics but they came...

    Safety First!

    I was reading a golf forum I belong to and there was a discussion about "The Villages", a mega-retirement community in Stan's part of the world. Someone mentioned the goings-on there among the retirees and then posted the following link about STDs, which shocked the hell out of me...

    Reed Brothers Dodge, Rockville, Md.

    There is a remarkable webpage devoted to the history of Reed Brothers Dodge, a dealership in Rockville, Md. that was a Dodge dealer from the very early days until 2009. Ultimately it was a sad story, but the former owners maintained an incredible archive of the family business. Visit here...

    This One's for Stan

    I saw this and figured Stan would like it. Needs a white interior, but otherwise it's real pretty: http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/carsforsale/mercury/monterey/1440913.html

    Chrysler on the High Line

    From the NY Times: "The High Line, on the West Side of Manhattan, is at turns celebrated and vilified. It is also an art gallery of sorts. Strollers along the elevated walkway, atop a disused rail line near the Hudson River, might have noted sculptural figures standing in bushes or...

    When These Cars Were New...

    Some of you may remember the magazine Popular Mechanics from years ago. I was a pretty faithful reader when I was a kid and found it interesting - they had articles about cars but also goofy "do-it-yourself" articles ("Build this nuclear reactor in your basement and heat your house for pennies a...

    Car Show Pics - Halifax, NS

    I stopped by the Halifax Antique Car Club show today and took a few quick pics. My camera was acting up so I was a bit limited. Turnout wasn't a good as it usually is, thanks to a combination of a new venue and threatening weather. But I was able to grab a few shots: The pair of '66 Dodges...

    Picked Up Some Fuselage Catalogs

    Just for the heck of it, I bought some dealer brochures for some fuselage cars recently. I got the 1970 Fury C-body catalog, the '71 Chrysler-Plymouth full-line catalog, and the '71 Dodge C-body catalog. All of these are the US versions, and I would like to find the Canadian '71 "Big Dodge"...
