Work In Progress: 1963 Jaguar XK-E Project

Power Sun Roof! 1962 Porsche 356 S
Well, I’m confused! The seller of this 1962 Porsche 356 advertises it as a Model S and I can find no such reference. It looks like a 356 B, Porsche’s newsroom website does not reference such a designation for… more»

Faithful Reproduction: 1955 Chevrolet Big-Block Badman
Art imitating life or life imitating art? In the ’60s, drag racing standouts like Gassers and Funny Cars were memorialized by assemble-it-yourself model kits. One, in particular, was a 1955 Chevrolet 210 that lived as a 1/24 scale Monogram… more»
