🎉 MYSTERY CAR REVEALED!

You guys made some great guesses… and ONE of you nailed it! 👏😎

Meet the 1929 Willys-Overland Whippet!

This beauty just rolled into Daniels Performance Group, and at 97 years old, she’s definitely one of the more unique classics to come through our doors.

A huge shoutout to Brentton Fuller, who figured out our clues and guessed Whippet! 🏆 You know your classics!

Thanks to everyone who played along — we had fun with this one. And stay tuned… We’ll be sharing more of this incredible piece of automotive history while it’s here. 🔧🏁

👀 CAN YOU GUESS WHAT JUST ROLLED INTO THE SHOP?

We’ve got a very cool piece of American automotive history at Daniels Performance Group, and tomorrow we’re giving you a closer look.

But tonight… we’re making you guess. 😏

Here are your clues:
🔧 It was built nearly 100 years ago.
🇺🇸 It’s American-made.

📜 The company behind it dates back to the early days of the automobile.

🐕 BIG HINT: Its name is shared with a four-legged speedster known for being FAST.

Think you know what it is? 👀

👇 Drop your YEAR, MAKE & MODEL in the comments!

NO CHEATING! 😂

We’ll reveal it tomorrow and see who got the closest. 🏁

Alright, let’s see what you’ve got. 👀

We’ve got this old-school Bonneville motor sitting in the shop looking pretty good in blue, but now we want to see YOUR pride and joy.

👇 Drop a picture of what’s under your hood in the comments.

Big block, small block, original, built, pretty, dirty- we don’t care. Show it off. 😎

And if what’s under your hood needs a little attention, bring that classic by Daniels Performance Group. We’d much rather see it in our shop than sitting in your garage waiting for “someday.”

Let’s see those motors! 👇🔥

🚚 CLASSIC CAR NEWS

America’s Most Beautiful Truck for 2026 has been crowned.

A 1963 Chevrolet C10 took home the top honor at this year’s Grand National Truck Show in California.

The truck, nicknamed “50SHDZE,” is a custom build with a modern LS3 V8, manual transmission, custom chassis, and plenty of attention to the details that make a classic truck stand out.

Whether you prefer them original, restored, or heavily customized, there’s something about a classic truck that never gets old.

What do you think? Does this C10 deserve the title? 👇

Jay Leno’s Law is officially a reality in California.

California has passed a new law creating a phased-in smog-check exemption for qualifying collector cars from the 1976–1985 model years.

The changes will begin taking effect in 2028 and gradually expand through 2033. The law is aimed at collector vehicles that are preserved and driven primarily for shows, parades, exhibitions, and other limited uses—not as everyday transportation.

It’s a pretty big win for the classic-car community and for people who want to keep these cars on the road and preserve them for the next generation.

What do you think—should other states make it easier to keep classic cars on the road? 👇

Classic car builders like Carmen Vera put a human face on the push to exempt certain classic cars from smog checks.
