Englishtown Report
On April 15 we visited the Spring Swap Meet at Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey, for the first time in many years. This year’s event was the 34th annual edition and to judge by things at Englishtown, eBay and the internet have not killed off swap meets.

New York in a Nutshell
Despite the obsession everyone has autonomous technology, and the green tech talk that is becoming less newsworthy by the day, there was nothing concrete that could solidify the companies to a theme this year, except for this: hope for the future.

That EPA Race Car Rule
With all the information flowing back and forth on the supposed EPA race car rules, I thought I should stand up and give my view. The actual rules were enacted many years ago, and have never been enforced on real race cars. This fact that has been almost universally ignored in the enthusiast press. Let’s take a look at the smog rules themselves, and the market they drove.

Atlantic City Car Show in Review (Sigh, Again.)
Last year, I covered the show’s largely political descent into barrenness, but while I had high hopes for change this time around, I confess myself disappointed. This year’s show wasn’t quite as desolate as the last, but it wasn’t so far off either.

Look, But Don’t Buy
One of the ways I keep myself entertained this time of year is through classic car and sports car dealerships. It’s a great way to tempt yourself towards highly irresponsible decision-making, and see some really great cars for free.

The Tampa Bay Auto Museum – A Tribute to Creativity and Imagination
During a visit to St. Petersburg we made an all-too-brief side trip to the Tampa Bay Auto Museum in the northern suburb of Pinellas Park.
This amazing facility was opened in 2005 by Mr. Alain Cerf, the founder of privately-owned PolyPack, a manufacturer of highly-engineered automated packaging equipment for consumer products that was started in 1962 and whose headquarters is located directly next door.

Golfers of any ability or duration instantly recognize Pebble Beach Golf Links’ par-5 18th hole due to its history as one of the top finishing holes in golf. However, since 1950, a large number of non-golfers know it as the location of the climactic end of Monterey Car Week, where each August the award of Best Of Show for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance takes place.

This year’s Guide to Monterey contains a list of Best Of Show winners and the analyses generated from that information. As accompaniment to that history, this article contains illustrations and narrative concerning several marques who do not yet have examples that have won the show’s top award.

Stories of individuals who have found a classic vehicle in an obscure location will probably always juice the pulses of classic car enthusiasts. The thought of discovering a long-forgotten treasure tucked away in a dusty old barn is a dream that almost anyone with an interest in classic cars has entertained at some point.

During Fort Ord’s 20+ years as a barren maneuvers area and 50+ years as an active U.S. Army installation, its personnel, facilities, and equipment were a visible presence throughout the Monterey Peninsula. From its activation in 1940 until it was shut down in 1994, Fort Ord was primarily a basic training base and later home of the service’s Seventh Infantry Division (Light).
