Super Stock Style For A Street-Driven ’64 Dodge 330

Mark Bonnett’s 1964 Dodge 330 is a performer that defies most of the categories and genres used today, and that’s exactly what drew us to the period-inspired Mopar. It’s certainly not a pro-touring car and the term resto-mod suggests at least some modern updates such as disc brakes or an overdrive transmission. It’s got none of that.… The post Super Stock Style For A Street-Driven ’64 Dodge 330 appeared first on The Online Automotive Marketplace.

13 Hidden Features You’ve Missed in Your Car

Chances are your car, no matter the make or model, has some hidden features that can significantly enhance your driving experience. We live in a fast-paced world where humans hardly have time to read their cellphone’s user manual, let alone the 400 to 500-page car owner’s manual waiting patiently in the glove box. Perhaps, our dwindling attention span is why automakers like Rivian and Tesla go out of their way to hide Easter Eggs for their customers to devote time and attention to discover. These hidden treasures, when found, can enhance the driving experience or even the quality of life. Similarly, many hidden gems that aren’t Easter eggs go unnoticed because they’re buried deep amidst the array of bells and whistles in modern automobiles. We’ve dug up 13 of such hidden features.

This Pair Of 1916 Oldsmobile Model 44s from The John McTaggart Collection Was Remanufactured From Parts

Oldsmobile made headlines for the debut of its OHV “Rocket” V-8 in 1949, but it wasn’t the automaker’s first V-8. Lesser known is that Oldsmobile first introduced a V-8 all the way back in 1916, with its Model 44, a.k.a. the “Light Eight.” That L-head V-8 displaced 246-cu.in. and Oldsmobile rated it at 40 horsepower, an impressive figure for the time and double Ford’s Model T output as a frame of reference. Though the car proved somewhat popular...

Auto review: Chevy fields a surprisingly attractive, affordable new battery electric SUV

It’s no mystery why mainstream consumers aren’t flocking to electric vehicles. While public infrastructure remains an issue, if you own a home with a 240-volt outlet, that’s not a problem. The issue is the vehicles themselves. Until now, most were Lilliputian in size and driving range at a gargantuan price premium. Consider the 2011 Ford Focus Electric with its Lilliputian 115-mile range and ...

The 1931 Buick Series 60 Was The First Of The Buick Eights

Studebaker had one. So did Nash, Auburn, De Soto, and Dodge. In fact, more than 20 automakers were offering an eight-cylinder in a mid-priced car by 1930. Buick wasn't among them, but it was about to catch up in a big way. For 1931, Buick raised the curtain on a lineup featuring no fewer than three different straight-eight engines, including the 220.7-cu.in. for the new entry-level Series 50, the 272.6-cu.in. for the Series 60 seen here, and the...
