Do you know what the top selling automotive brand is in your country? By brand top seller, TOYOTA is well in command with 25 countries. Surprised to see that Ford Motor Company only has one.
Which one was the biggest surprise for you?

Well, if so, mark your calendar for May 16th and get your butt over to Hillbank Motors and the Segerstrom Shelby Events Center in Irvine. Going to be some amazing tribute vehicles there and, you never know, some original Cobras just might make an appearance.

The outlier...always do your research when you see an average price for a vehicle. There will always be outliers, especially in the classic car industry.
At the Scottsdale Barrett-Jackson auction earlier this year, one bidder bought a 1966 Lincoln Continental convertible for $1,000,000...yes...one million dollars.
Stranges thing about this one for me is that it carries a salvaged title. I would think that someone could have bought a very nice stock 1966 Continental and spent less than $900,000 on the restoration to get it exactly as they wanted it. As the owner of the million dollar 1965 Riviera did. (https://www.autoevolution.com/news/the-one-million-dollar-buick-riviera-has-730-horsepower-and-superb-red-paint-262893.html).
How much would you pay for your dream customer restomod?

Would you spend over a million dollars restoring a 1965 Buick Riviera RS? Well, a restoration is not quite exactly what happened but one owner spent that much creating an one of a kind restomod out of a 1965 Riviera.
Tons of handmade, custom parts to make it look similar to the original but has a LSX Black Label V-8 with over 700 HP hidden under the hood (made to look like the original nail head), complete custom Detroit Speed frame, suspension, etc. Look closely, you'll see all the subtle changes that make it special.
It went across the block at Mecum Auctions in January of 2026 and the top bid was $350,000. Not surprisingly, it didn't meet the reserve.
It's going to take one special, wealthy, Buick enthusiast to pony up more than that for this beauty. More info can currently be found in a nice article by Modern Rodding here: https://digital.modernrodding.com/previewissue/october-2023/detroit-speed-builds-the-ultimate-1965-buick-riviera/

Do you like the Shelby Cobra? How about the Ferrari Enzo? What would you think about a Ferrari 599 V12 engine stuffed into a Superformance Cobra?
Well, a company named Taormina has built just that and can build one for you if you have the cash. They created a highly modified Cobra with a Ferrari 599 V12, converted to be naturally carbureted.
Don't want to wait to have one built? One of them could be yours if you're going to Barrett-Jackson in Scottdale this year.

Have you ever forgotten which side of your car your fuel filler is located? Well, probably not in quite a while since the Moylan Arrow was placed on your fuel gauge.
That little white arrow shown near the little white gas pump lets the driver know where to pull up to the pump. Arrow to the left (as shown here), pull to the right side of the pump to avoid pulling the hose over the top of your car.
You have James Moylan, a Ford Motor Company engineer to thank for it. The full story can be found on the page.

Unfortunately, Mr. Moylan has just passed away. Just someone to think of and thank every time you fill up.
Thank you Mr. Moylan and rest in peace.

Did you ever wish you were an Oscar Mayer Wiener? Well, if you are looking for a year long adventure job for you or your recent college graduate, look no further.

How about driving the Wienermobile to over 200 events in the next 12 months? The pay isn't spectacular, around $36k a year, but it includes $150 a week for food/personal travel expenses, full medical coverage, all hotel stays fully paid and 18 paid days off. You will be paired with one other person for 6-months, then switched to another for the last 6-months, driving the highways and byways of America for a year. Let me know if you get hired!

2025 global passenger vehicle production, once again lead by Toyota, by quite a margin. Did you know that Ford is the only US based manufacturer to top 2 million vehicles? China is catching up, very quickly.

Under the category, it's worth what someone will pay for it...how much would you pay for a perfectly preserved 1979 Lincoln Mark V Collector Series with only 97 miles? $25,000? $50,000? $75,000? $100,000? $125,000? Well, you wouldn't have won this auction.
Yesterday, October 11, 2025, it sold to the top bidder at $140,000 (then add the $7,500 BaT fee)...where would you have stopped?
