In very good shape for a 56 year old car, certainly presentable but not show condition.

A lifetime Idaho desert car, the body has survived very well. It would benefit from a complete detail, as it had been sitting in dry storage for some years before being pulled out & being made roadworthy again. It obviously isn't going to stand up to a close inspection, you would find many imperfections. The overall effect though is favourable, from 10 feet it looks great. The unusual side moulding treatment almost appears to be factory, though most likely is an aftermarket kit of the day. I believe the engine to be a 1962 406 (forerunner to the mighty 427), but can produce no evidence other than the fact that it runs strong. It has power steering & drives well.

Consumer Reports explains its disdain for infotainment

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE, Chrysler's UConnect, BMW's iDrive or MyFord Touch, we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
Not surprisingly, some are better than others. It seems consumers have come to a similar consensus, with Consumer Reports claiming that Ford and Lincoln, Cadillac and Honda offer the worst user infotainment experiences. Not surprisingly, you won't find much argument among the Autoblog staff.
Take a look below to see just what it is about the latest batch of infotainment systems that grinds CR's gears. After that, scroll down into Comments and let us know if you agree with the mag's views.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014

The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
