[description]Brits Steaming to Break Bonneville Record

 

"No one goes round the back, there's 360 horsepower of colorless death 'round there."

Burning liquid petroleum gas at 750ฐ F to pressurize that 360-hp Curtis turbine, the 25-ft.-long Steam Car can turn 10.5 gallons of water a minute into some boiling-hot action for the record books.

[description]Check Out These Incredible Scenes From Iola '08

 

The Iola Old Car Show has come and gone for another year. From the large number of car, trucks and trailers that rolled out of town Sunda loaded to the gills with newly acquired parts, pieces and whole cars, it would seem that this year was another success.

Despite a few early rain showers, enthuiasts from across the country tunred out in droves to get their Iola "fix" until next year. We ran into great car people from as far away as Alaska and a few from right here in town.

We've posted a few hundred of our favorite photos from this years show in the Old Cars Weekly Community. Feel free to check them out.

We'd also like to see what you liked at Iola (or any other show) this year, so feel free to post your own photos for all to enjoy!

A Star is Reborn

In the miles of credits following at least 14 Hollywood films, there's one supporting role you won't find mentioned. Yet to any car hobbyist, this overlooked star stole the show.

[description]Cast in the shadow of such silver screen legends as Marilyn Monroe and Tony Curtis in "Some Like it Hot" and Bette Davis and Glenn Ford in "Pocketful of Miracles," the Duesenberg Judkins seven-passenger limousine that appeared in these films was left to drift into obscurity by Hollywood filmmakers. It was almost allowed to drift off the face of earth, had it not been for the efforts of car collector George Albright, who brought the Judkins limousine back from pieces to a whole car in 2008. But to get this washed-up "has been" back to center stage took a lot of twists and turns – and parts hunting.
