(November 6, 2015) LAS VEGAS — Less than four months after revealing designs for the next-generation 3D-printed car, Local Motors unveiled the LM3D Swim, the latest rapid vehicle iteration leading to a fully homologated 3D-printed vehicle, designed to be safe, smart and sustainable. The disruptive auto manufacturer will begin pre-selling models this spring.

(November 6, 2015) DETROIT — Chevrolet will donate an all-new 2016 Volt to FIRST, the K-12 robotics program, to help raise money for student robotics opportunities across the U.S. but particularly for those in communities underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education fields.

The donation is a natural fit because the Volt exemplifies advances in science and technology, and the funds raised by the auction will help bolster FIRST teams to a diverse body of students, said Chevrolet Marketing Director Steve Majoros.

This post-war circa 1946 Dodge Power Wagon was used — as indicated by its markings — as a utility truck for a volunteer fire department. It was discovered along the side of the road in western North Carolina. Derived from the Dodge military trucks used in World War II, it was the first civilian 4X4. It was produced in various model series from 1945 to 1981. Dodge resurrected the name in 2005 for a series of Ram Trucks. (Photo by Jim Meachen)

Dubbed "Project Triple Nickel" as an homage to a stock Titan XD's 555 lb.-ft. torque rating, the specially outfitted truck was revealed this week at the 2015 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show.
