Yep; pitot tubes is the term. Pitot tubes are specifically for measuring airspeed, so they might just be normal pressure taps for help in confirming their analytical models.

You wouldn't happen to have any more pictures of the second generation, would you MoS? It's awfully cold in my garage, so I don't see mine nearly enough.

As a very simple molecule - much simpler even than the idealized C8H18 and C6H6 of octane and benzene, respectively, that make up gasoline - you don't have to worry as much about unwanted polluting...

These sort of deep cuts are why we love you, MoS. This is fantastic! Cop wheels, gasoline heater (robbed from a Corvair, no doubt), two tons, and a roaring 20 hp of six-volt power! What a thing

Some quick googling confirms that it was not, in fact, a kei car; the engine displaced 2,800 cc. I suspect that the hieroglyphs on air cleaner (HX for water-to-air charge cooling would be my guess if...

The name "patrician" suits Packard so well; they have that old-money feel to me. As the world (the American motor industry) became pastel two-tones, chrome, and fins Packard had the grace to quietly...

Incredible: an opinion I held as a teenager still stands up!

MoS, do you have any pictures of the Silver Arrow concept upon which the Riv was based?

The Fulvia to the SZ's Giulia... Interesting car; thanks Duell!

As far as cab-forward supercars go, I think this is far better looking that Paganis and Koeniggsegg. Cool stuff Duell! I also dig the 928-style headlights.

My indifference to the 911 aside, I tend to really like Singers. They're usually tasteful(ish) and obviously well-thought-out. This thing though seems like a half-assed attempt to pander to the...

I can't imagine the rumbleseat in a T-bird was any more dangerous that the rear-facing wagon seats that most kids were probably thrown in at the time. Fewer exhaust fumes in the 'bird, and the...

By far the most-honest version of the T-bird... I actually prefer the four-door.

This is what happens when you spend one billion Zimbabwean dollars on a Nissan.

At present exchange rates, this is worth almost one billion Zimbabwean dollars on the nose.

Looks like a Morris Minor. I didn't know they made a droptop.

For some reason the grille setup reminds me of the tongue-eating louse which hijacks a fish's mouth.

I am always surprised that these were sold with Hemis; engine aside, they don't seem to tick any of the boxes of an erstwhile muscle-car buyer. As I mentioned above, I really don't like this design,...

Like the PT Cruiser, this was a victim of the rapid rise and fall of cutesy retro cars at the beginning of the millennium. At some point people realized that they were awful cars with derivative...

Good stuff, Duell!

I must concede to Kitdy at this point that this car looks a lot less like an Oldsmobile than other Maseratis.

Odd proportions, but it's otherwise promising.

I do like the restraint, if a 400hp sportscar could ever be said to posses that, both in physical design and in performance specifications. In a...

For some reason this truck sponsors a Tour de France team.

Or the EcoSport...



Yeah the Euro lineup is enviably well balanced. I'd say we actually had a better lineup than you folks a few years ago, just in the breadth of choice, but not no more.


...

This makes sense: disillusioned with Mopar after Plymouth was axed in '01, the off-brand American car refugee immediately seeks out Mercury. A decade later, Mercury too was euthanized and Kitdy was...

It covers all their bases: trucks, vee-eight modors, and loopy Ontarians.



I am trying to think of a more cynical car on sale and I cannot. Maybe if Great Wall or someone made a copy of the...

I have little idea what Ford sells here beyond the Mustang and F-Series... Maybe the aforementioned Mercury Sable.

Kitdy had a red Dino at some point, I hear... I believe it was his first car full stop.
