This is unfortunate as this is one of the best GT cars ever produced and possibly the most beautiful.

Airless Tire Prototype Gets Public Test

Airless Tire Prototype Gets Public Test

Published by Marty Milligan on September 28, 2021

Airless tire technology has been in development my entire life. I first read about it in 1973 when it was a new development set to revolutionize the automotive industry. While offering numerous advantages, airless technology proved far more challenging to bring to market than anticipated. Michelin recently took a significant step toward releasing an automotive airless tire with public testing of the Uptis prototype.

Automotive Lust of the Day, Yeah, It’s Got a Hemi Edition: 1967 Dodge Coronet 500 Hemi Swap

Published by Marty Milligan on May 26, 2021

The same guy tried to sell me a 1967 Coronet…

Automotive Lust of the Day, It’s Good to be Rich Edition: Rivolta GTZ, Zagato Reveals Spiritual Descendant of Iso Grifo A3/C

Published by Marty Milligan on November 11, 2020

The Iso Grifo is in the top five on my all-time most beautiful car list. Italian styling powerhouse Zagato makes good use of a last-generation Corvette in creating a modern interpretation of the race version of the Grifo. A limited run is planned and about half are already spoken for. Christmas is coming so if you are looking for a stocking stuffer for me…
