(August 21, 2011) We reported a few weeks ago on an effort to create the biggest parade of Cadillacs in the world. And the tiny town of Barton, Vt., got the job done on Aug. 17.

A minimum of 103 cars driving single file from the high school to the county fairgrounds was needed for the record. The official count was 298 Cadillac vehicles giving them the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest Cadillac parade.

(August 17, 2011) We ran across a small collection of pictures of Hollywood stars and their cars, mostly from the 1930s and 1940s. We found it interesting to see what the super rich from the depression era drove.

(July 8, 2011) As mentioned many times, I grew up during the beginning of the muscle car era. It’s really subjective as to when this so-called halcyon time began. Some attribute it to the year that Chevrolet sold its first V8 model in 1955 that was 265 cubic inches. Ford already had an overhead-valve V8 in 1954 that was 239 cubic inches. (Chrysler was on the periphery during the initial years but for simplicity’s sake I’ll mostly keep this to the 100 Year’s War between Ford and Chevy.)
