my 1906 Studebaker Model G Touring

Author: EdwardsHorus@cs.com. Saturday, 04 February 2012

Our 1906 Stude Model G is a 36 HP 4 cyl T head car with factory dual exhausts. We have been driving it regularly since 2006 when it won its brass   class at Amelia Island and the same at Meadowbrook---Every year we put at least 2000 miles on it with HCCA throughout the States and Canada.
It is believed to be the oldest 4 cylinder Studebaker to have survived-Its provevnace is excellent having its history since early days----Originally discovered by Henry Austin Clark in the 40's and in his collection until 1968 Then in Bill Harrah's collection until 1982. We thoroughly enjoy this magnificent car that tours at a comfortable  40-45MP--for a 1906 car thats amazing. Brakes are good when adjusted up but not great in the hills. We'll stick to our 12 T touring for that kind of action. Nevertheless we love her and enjoy the mostly trouble free driving---especially when we hit the electric start button.  Eric Edwards and family.

My Ford Model A Coupé 1929, named Lady Rose

Author: Barney Thursday, 26 January 2012

This is my beloved Model A. Her name is Lady Rose and she moves to the streets in the Bernese Oberland. The condition is original and very good. This car is more fun than any I've ridden so far. And everyone who sees it has a smile on his face.

1922 G.N. Brooklands 200 mile race car.

Author: William Hearne. Thursday, 26 January 2012

This is a 1922 G.N. Akela Race Car. It was the spare car for G.N. in the 1922 Brooklands 200 mile race. I purchased it from the sale of the Stafford-East cars at the Beaulieu in September 2008. The first three images were taken as purchased. It has been a lengthy rebuild and a very thorough one. The last four images were taken after three years of rebuilding. It now has the Castrol R flowing and is very close to being 'fired up'. It is overhead camshaft with four valves and two spark plugs per cylinder, two magnetos and two carbs. It has four forward speeds and no reverse. I am hoping to run it in Hillclimbs and sprints this season. Although 90 years old we are expecting a good turn of speed.

Amazing 1925 parking in Paris

Author: travelling press Tuesday, 24 January 2012

We found this model of an avant-garde garage meant to be built on the banks of river Seine. We just wonder if it was ever realised or just a play of fantasy by the brilliant designer Constantin Melnikow (also spelled as Konstantin Melnikov). The model is to be seen in the Gemeente Museum, The Hague, Netherlands.
