The detail is visible in very few photos I have on the cars. It's a bit difficult to tell if this is because there are sometimes obstructions in the way (the signorina in most of the sales brochure pics), or that it's hard to see on cars painted dark colors, or if the lighting and background colors ...

Given that the Lusso bodies were fabricated by Scaglietti, I'm wondering if there might have been production variations over the course of time that might account for the missing crease. A Friday afternoon, thoughts of some garganelli with Romagnol meat sauce on the stove at home and the Lambrusco w...

Kiwi: From the appearance of your inside bodywork, the lighter color would certainly seem to be correct (original), and it's quite close to Yale's car - another argument for it being the original one. Repaints can be pretty thorough, though, so it's hard to be absolutely certain you've uncovered the...

Without meaning to hijack the original intent of the post, I've been worrying about the internal anti-rust coating I applied to the fuel tank on my cab some time ago, before the advent of the current fuel additives. I used the stuff from Hirsch, which is white. I've been thinking I should get it out...

"..to get the full story.." is right. The most telling words in the ad are "salvage title", which in California means the vehicle suffered so much damage (collision. flood, vandalism, strip-out), that the cost to repair it was more than the car's fair market value if repaired. And in the case of a 4...

WHT: There was a show on cable earlier this summer called "Tank Overhaul" that featured a full rebuild on a later M4 Sherman powered by the Ford GAA V-8. I recorded it with the idea of excerpting it on the website for my dad's tank battalion. Tom: Thanks for the kind encouragement on the site. As yo...

The aircraft engines of the piston era really are magnificent pieces of mechanical art. A big Merlin in-line engine as used in the P-51 Mustang looks remarkably like a super-sized Ferrari V-12. Tom: a potential suitable example of a radial engine to add to The Yang Collection might be the Continenta...

While I really appreciate Andrew's confidence in my opinion, expecting me to say something intelligent on cue is a bit like expecting Lucas electrical components to work just fine every time you throw the switch. There are lots of people better suited to comment on what's going to happen with the vi...

I'd have posted my congratulations on your terrific new site earlier, Tom. But I got so engrossed in reading the many articles I'd never seen before, that I suddenly realized I was in danger of leaving a client standing in my lobby for a previously scheduled meeting and I jumped up and ran for the c...
