But.... you wouldn't be proud.
On a segment of "Hitler's Managers," Ferdinand Porsche was featured.
A very well done and informative hour on the man, and the VW, primarily.

I bought a pair of door locks that I thought were correct for my '55
coupe at Reedsville, when I went to compare them with the one that came

others are pretty close to flush.  Who'd have thunk it?  apparently

Any one else notice a funny smell to this months Turning Wheels magazine.
Open my on Monday from the first class envelope and had a funny smell and it
started making me cough.  Stood it on end and fan the pages out in another
room and left it there that way for a day and its ...

Very on topic!

Avanti history, specs, and it's role in the Studebaker fate.
1952 cars of all makes were cameo'ed in the magazine.

   I'm done under the hood, all the wiring and plumbing is done, but N8

about engines buy Hop Up, about modifying the Studebaker V8? Does any one
know the date and details? If any one has it would they ...

A few weeks ago the generator in my Lark died, and as the truck wasn't
working at the time (and I had to get the car home again!), I borrowed

Here's a car that answers some of the NG recent questions- a '61 Lark with
both factory AC and power steering (an automatic as well).  It looks to be a

Anyone know the right fluid for Houdaille shocks?  I did a quick search and
found fluid for the lever-action shocks used in MGB's.  I also found
