It's not often that people honour an engine unless its a monster V-8 like Chrysler's original Hemi or maybe a screaming Ferrari V-12. So I'm pleased to note that Pontiac's...

If ever there was an automotive book I'd like to have on my coffee table, this is it. Driving Style: GM Design's First Century is being produced to help honour GM's centennial and promises...

If there's anything that captures my attention instantly it's news about Corvairs and/or aircraft. The former because I once owned a pair of Corvair Corsas (though not at the same time) and...

Long before the days of the minivan, the station wagon was a popular alternative for large families or just folks seeking extra carrying capacity. Wagon advertising inevitably featured illustrations...

Pontiacs are precious. Pontiac classics powered by inline-sixes-and-eights are even more precious. Fans call them "flatheads" though I prefer to call them "smoothies" from an era...

GM Product VP Bob Lutz would love to have something like this in Pontiac's lineup right now. Actually I'd like to have it in my garage and if only I had $1.3 million to spare, that's where...

I'm guessing that my friends at Hemmings are fascinated by LaSalles as much as I am. The above photo was taken by Hemmings' Richard Lentinello as he walked through the 2007 Hilton Head...

With this artwork I'd like to honor a friend and former colleague whom I consider to be one of the most talented illustrators and art directors I've had the privilege of knowing in 30 years as...

It's not unusual here to see wonderful old cars driving by and occasionally parked on the main street. Inevitably I get annoyed with myself for not carrying a camera but the truth is, the Nikon...

My long-time friend Mel Satok is currently vacationing in Palm Springs CA and doesn't keep up to date with this site as he's not a car guy. Too bad, as he would absolutely love the Oldsmobile...

Believe me, the Buick Skylark was a very sexy automobile when it was introduced in 1953. Even those import enthusiasts who mocked Detroit's excesses fell in love with this one. Designed by...

During the late 80's I was hired to write and direct three videos telling the tale of how the all-new Buick Regal, Olds Cutlass, and Pontiac Grand Prix were developed. These cars were said to be...

They call it the Tuner Generation; young people (mostly, though not entirely, men) who modify new and used cars in order to stand apart from the masses. Many of the mods are performance-oriented, some...

It's not exactly a tidal wave yet but there are hints that some manufacturers may drop their sedan models in Europe because the trend is moving toward crossovers (CUV's) and minivans (the latter in...

Sometimes it's not the car, but who owned and drove it that governs the price. Here's an instance where both combine in a brief moment of serendipity. I'm referring to a Corvette owned and driven by...

While motoring around one of BC's beautiful Gulf Islands a couple of weeks back, I stopped for a look at some particulary lovely scenery. To my surprise and pleasure, part of that scenery turned out...

My maturity in the auto world arrived during a three-year stint as assistant pr manager at Volkswagen Canada's Toronto headquarters. It left me with a fondness for rear-engine cars which migrated to...

The flathead is an engine configuration that will likely never be manufactured again, for modern technology has left it far behind. Fortunately thousands of vintage and classic car owners are happy to...

Believe me, I'm not nominating the Chevrolet Chevette as a classic. But General Motors thinks it deserves a place in automobile history: the Sloan Museum in Flint has retained Chevette No. 00001, with...
