Posted by Daniel Strohl - How many people ever got Autolite or Delco tattoos? Probably not many. Yet Chrysler's in-house parts and performance brand has a mystique to it that has generated a substantial following for decades, and the Pentastar faithful will today be celebrating 75 years of Mopar. Conceived at a 1937 meeting of the Chrysler Parts Corporation's Activities Council in Highland Park, Michigan, the term "MoPar" was a contraction of the words "motor" and "parts" and was initially intended for the company's new anti-freeze.

Posted by Daniel Strohl - It's a proven roadworthy car in well-kept condition with known history from new, plenty of pep (as attested to by Peter Egan himself!), and the appearance of a show-worthy car from the photos. Could this 1960 Lotus Elite for sale on Hemmings.com roll any more desirable attributes into one package? From the seller's description: This S2 Elite is a very original, well-maintained and low mileage car. While it has been maintained and has had a respray, it has never been restored; rather, it is a wonderful survivor. The... <http://blog.hemmings.com/?p=58340&refer=news> Read On>>

Posted by Daniel Strohl - Photos by Dave Lindsay, SoCalCarCulture When taking on the best of the best in the hot rod industry - among them Steve Moal and Roy Brizio - it helps to have some firepower on your side. Bill Lindig of Houston, Texas, had plenty with his aluminum-body Indy Speedster, and it paid off with the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award at this past weekend's Grand National Roadster Show. To many in the hot rodding scene, the Indy Speedster should look familiar: It's the car that Indy car builder and racer and metalsh... <http://blog.hemmings.com/?p=58437&refer=news> Read On>>

Posted by Terry Shea - Photos courtesy MOMO USA Gentleman racer and Momo founder Giampiero Moretti died earlier this month at his home in Milan, following a long illness. While in his 20s, he created Momo (a combination of Moretti-Monza), initially to make steering wheels but later adding such equipment as racing suits, helmets, shift knobs, shoes, fireproof underwear and even seats and wheels. His first big break came when Ferrari factory driver John Surtees discovered Moretti's steering wheel and had one installed in his Ferrari ... <http://blog.hemmings.com/?p=58168&refer=news> Read On>>

Posted by Daniel Strohl - Apparently, it's becoming tougher and tougher to find good Volkswagens to serve as the basis for a restoration. We say that because we've recently seen a couple videos showing astounding rescues of VWs that were left for dead in hard-to-reach places. First, as pointed out by the folks over at Eastwood's blog is this recovery of a 1954 barndoor bus from a mountainside in Oberwallis, Switzerland. One has to wonder how exactly the barndoor got up there in the first place if it was necessary to get a helicopter to lift ... <http://blog.hemmings.com/?p=58425&refer=news> Read On>>
