Jordan Playboy advertisement that Oldmotor.com posted... why doens't anyone have cool ads like this anymore?

The Retro Mopar Muscle issue is on the magazine store racks, here's a quick look

 They've got the full story how this 1969 Barracuda, 340, 4 speed but upgraded to a 440 for drag racing and painted in the early 70's came to keep it's cool paint and get out of the barn it was stored in

Yup, it's worth the 6 bucks

cool images from Spoora.tumblr

http://spoora.tumblr.com/ mostly surfing and skateboarding photos, but among them are these cool images

Awesome retro cool stuff from Farbror Sid (Uncle Sid)

 Man, this is too much... it doesn't have any mention that it's just a Ford, with the Cobra package, it calls it a Shelby. PLease correct me, if I'm wrong, but Shelby doesn't appear anywhere on a 1969 Cobra Torino, does it?

 they are leaning on a Volve 1800

this Charger photo was titled moonlight, and maybe that is the deal, but it's a cool photo no matter how they lit the scene

one incredible find after another on http://farbror-sid.se/ 

from car parts, and a dealership sign, plus Paul's ingenuity, he made this one of a kind scooter

Great advertising theme... from father to son, Chevy runs deep (son searches for 5 years to find his dad's Impala SS, and gives it to his dad)

Short tv commercial above, full length story below of finding the car after looking across 6 states and Canada below... worth watching the full thing!

And the father and sons were at the LA Auto Show by invitation of Chevrolet, with the 65 Impala SS http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2011/11/18/herb-younger-and-his-1965-impala-ss-396-make-appearance-at-the-l-a-auto-show/

I didn't know it, but about a week ago Dan at Hemmings posted all about this http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2011/11/09/chevrolet-at-100-pulling-on-your-heartstrings/
I just watched the commercial on tv and had to add this to my blog... great bloggers think alike



The first commercial reminded me of the video I posted years ago about a son who delivers a car to his dad at work

the little old lady from Pasadena was endorsing Wheelie Bars from Whamo for Stingray bikes for kids
