Take a good, long last look at the phantom Essex pickup truck, owned by Alan Gingles of Neepawa, MB. Alan has been a good friend and contributor to this site in the past. However, he’s now in the process of completely re-doing this little truck with a fresh small-block Chevy, flat black paint, and a [...]
It’s Friday, and that’s all the reason we need to do a gallery. Today’s photos of awesomeness are a quick guided tour of the Gauthier Auto Museum:
Big Dog Motorcycles makes, well, motorcycles. They must be good at it, too, since four of their models have been certified for use in Europe. By some strange co-incidence, they also share a name with a certain garage we’d like to get into. Namely, the Big Dog Garage, but you know it as JayLenosGarage.com. We [...]
We know that there were only six Dodge Royal Lancer convertibles imported into Canada in 1954, and this was one of them. In fact, this car was sold new in Manitoba, was originally green, and has never been owned outside the province. We also know that Queen Elizabeth II rode in a green ’54 Dodge [...]
Brent Hoitink’s 1950 Chevrolet coupe, appropriately named “Bare It All,” has been getting a lot of ink lately. Maybe it’s to make up for the lack of pigment on the car’s sheetmetal. More pics below the fold:

Fun Fact: Many say that the Plymouth Prowler’s concept was lifted from a certain student’s homework at the Pasadena Art Center College of Design. Of course, that “certain student” was just some guy named Chip Foose, so they didn’t bother crediting him. Or offering him a job. Instead, he went to work at Ford and [...]
This bitchin’ ’67 Chevelle SS convertible came blasting out of the factory with a 396 big-block V8, and an original 4-speed automatic. Gauthier Auto Museum’s own restoration mechanic, Ron, had a similar hardtop back in the day. Sadly, like most of us, Ron eventually had to give it up, and now drives a sweet late [...]
This little deuce coupe (emphasis on the “little”) is a scale model of the real thing. It was probably just as much fun to build, with much better fuel economy!
The PT Cruiser was a serious love-it-or-hate-it machine. The lovers formed tight, inclusive clubs, opened shops to modify and make parts for them, launched websites, wrote books, and even published a quarterly magazine, devoted entirely to the little car. The haters, apparently, worked at Chrysler. Instead of getting regular mechanical updates and styling refreshes, they [...]
