AUGUST 1937: TOYOTA BECOMES AN INDEPENDENT AUTOMOBILE COMPANY

Toyota Motor Company was formally established in August of 1937, emerging from Toyoda Automatic Loom Works.

One of cars that is considered the most collectable Toyota is the 2000GT. Interestingly enough, it was Yamaha and Nissan/Datsun who actually started the creation of the model. Nissan abandoned the effort expecting this model not to be marketable.

Austin Texas trivia???? The TOYOTA of Austin dealership was located on 5th street and was victim to the 1981 Memorial Day floods. Water rushed over the banks of Shoal Creek and through many of the adjacent businesses, washing their contents into the creek and further downstream to Town Lake, now known as Lady Bird Lake.

The dealerships only 2000GT which was historically displayed on the showroom floor was lost forever to the rushing waters. Dive teams searched the lake and never found anything that could be identified as the 2000GT.

On August 27, 1957, automotive journalists gathered in Dearborn for the press introduction of Ford’s ambitious new Edsel division.

The launch included a dramatic stunt demonstration, followed by journalists driving Edsel Pacers home for evaluation.

The cars included interesting features such as warning lights for an engaged parking brake and overheating, available seat belts and the now-famous push-button automatic transmission selector positioned in the steering-wheel hub.

Yet the Edsel became one of automotive history’s most famous commercial failures.

Great engineering, massive investment and enormous publicity cannot guarantee that a product aligns with what customers actually want.

Ironically, surviving Edsels are now collectible precisely because of their unusual history.

We grew up watching the original COYOTE VS ACME 💣 escapades.

Years later, we get the rest of the story.......

For enthusiasts, the roadrunner character has an extraordinary automotive connection.

Plymouth licensed the cartoon name and imagery for the Plymouth Road Runner, introduced for 1968 as a relatively affordable performance car.

Plymouth even gave the car a distinctive "meep-meep" horn.

The recipe was wonderfully straightforward.

Big V8 power. Reduced frills. Memorable name. Attainable price.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SMALL CARS EVER BUILT MAKES ITS DEBUT

The original Mini debuted in August of 1959.

Alec Issigonis' solution to Europe's fuel concerns was technically ingenious.

Mount the engine transversely. Drive the front wheels. Push the wheels toward the corners. Devote as much of the vehicle's footprint as possible to passengers rather than mechanical hardware.

Then John Cooper discovered something else.

The same tiny dimensions and wheel-at-each-corner layout that made the Mini efficient also made it wonderfully entertaining to race.

The result was the Mini Cooper, giant-killing competition success and one of Britain's most recognizable automobiles.

13B TURBO ROTARY POWER. MIATA WEIGHT.

For Sale Now: $12,000.

This is what happens when one of the best lightweight sports-car chassis ever built gets the drivetrain Mazda enthusiasts always wondered about.

This **1996 Mazda Miata** was extensively re-engineered around a **turbocharged 1.3-liter 13B rotary engine and heavy-duty 5-speed manual transmission from a second-generation RX-7 Turbo II**. It was not simply an engine swap. The project required substantial fabrication to make two of Mazda's most celebrated performance platforms work together.

The Miata subframe was reworked to accept the 13B. The firewall was modified for drivetrain clearance. Custom rear transmission mounts were fabricated for the FC Turbo II gearbox, and additional bracing was created around the Miata differential.

The result combines the Miata's compact dimensions and lightweight chassis with the character of a turbocharged rotary drivetrain.

The chassis received equally serious attention:

• **Turbocharged 1.3L 13B rotary** from a Japanese-market 1989 RX-7 Turbo
• **RX-7 Turbo II heavy-duty 5-speed manual transmission**
• Modified Miata front subframe
• Modified firewall for 13B installation
• Custom transmission mounting
• Reinforced differential mounting
• **Flyin' Miata V-Maxx Classic Stage 2 suspension**
• Flyin' Miata sway bars
• NA8 Miata brakes with new pads, rotors and fluid
• **15x7 TR Motorsports C1 wheels**
• Hard Dog roll bar
• Aluminum racing seat with 5-point harness
• Custom aluminum instrument panel
• Full complement of VDO instrumentation
• Simplified lightweight Miata-based wiring harness
• Kill switch
• Sport exhaust

Even the electrical system was approached with weight and simplicity in mind. The original Miata harness was stripped down to the circuits actually required, producing a substantially lighter harness while maintaining an OEM-like installation.

It is equal parts **Miata, RX-7, engineering exercise and grassroots motorsports history.**

The Shelby Cobra demonstrates what can happen when a lightweight British sports car meets American V8 horsepower.

Cobras represent Carroll Shelby, international competition, engineering and an era when relatively small teams could create cars capable of challenging the world's established manufacturers.

THE FIRST PORSCHE 911 ERA

August 1964 marked the beginning of series production for the automobile originally introduced as the Porsche 901 and soon renamed the 911.

More than six decades later, the basic idea remains unmistakable: compact sports-car proportions, rear-mounted flat-six power and a shape that evolved instead of being reinvented.

We are proud of our clients who trust us with their cars....especially the 911!

MotoAmerica Superbikes comes tothe Circuit of The Americas September 11 through 13.

MotoAmerica lists five road-racing classes for the weekend, including Superbike, Supersport, Talent Cup, King of the Baggers and Super Hooligan competition. More than 120 riders are expected to participate, and fans have access to an open race paddock.

Watching heavily modified American V-twin touring motorcycles attack COTA's braking zones and direction changes has created one of the most unusual spectacles in modern motorcycle racing.
