The Coatesville Grand Prix – Still at the Starting Line
In theory, grand prix racing events are fascinating, interesting and unique. They give us the chance, rarer than you might expect, to watch vintage cars actually hit the road, saturating the air in thick scents of worn leather, leaking – well, leaking everything – and ancient exhaust fumes, as marvels of technology and engineering speed past to the delight of the crowds.
In reality, grand prixs are difficult to pull off.

Reflections on “T.C.” Ted Christopher
“From Plainville, Connecticut, you either love him or hate him, Teeee-Ceeee!” would be a typical pre-race introduction. The fans would cheer and boo in unequal numbers. Ted ate it up. He was not at the track for a popularity contest. He was there to win.

Tucker: The Man and His Dream
I find it so interesting that this film is nowhere to be found. If Tucker were operating in today’s day and age, like Elon Musk or Christian Von Koenigsegg, the story would have been different.

Won’t Come Back From Dead Man’s Curve (Because You’ll Want to Stay All Year)
But, in the world of racing and classic cars, boldness and aggression often pay off, and this year’s Dead Man’s Curve Car Show, hosted at the Mahwah Sheraton this past weekend, certainly did.

Review: The Little Car Show, Monterey Car Week 2025

How did an airplane end up on a car dealer’s lot? Pilots are generally fervent about only selling an aircraft to someone within the flying community. In the case of one Piper Cub being traded toward a new car, it is safe to say that passion was overruled by a greater need.
