I doubt that. Citation needed. There are many new developments in battery technology now. These take about 10 years to go from the lab to production. Some include new chemistries that use less lithium, have higher energy density, virtually never wear out, and solid state batteries that are much...

I always thought those Buicks look like an angry beaver from the back. The license plate is its big teeth.

If the car designers in the 1950s had access to the LED and light pipe tech that they have now, imagine what kind of crazy lighting systems they would have made for cars back then!

As a Design Engineer and self-proclaimed nerd, I am offended by your mis-characterization of nerds. Complain about new cars all you want, but everything in your third paragraph is wrong.

You have to consider the energy density of hydrogen gas by volume, which varies greatly with the pressure that it is stored at, not the energy density by mass (which would be significant if it was being carried as a liquid). So you can't make a blanket statement that the energy density of...

Tesla is smart to not develop a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. Hydrogen as an automotive "fuel" is a terrible idea. It is not cheap nor abundant as you claim. Green hydrogen ain't cheap, and cheap hydrogen ain't green. Japan tried to develop a hydrogen transportation infrastructure, not because it...

That is a type of hybrid. It's called a series hybrid, kind of like a diesel-electric locomotive. The Fisker Karma and Chevy Volt* were series hybrids also. *GM didn't want people to know this, but in certain highway driving conditions the gas engine in the Volt would be mechanically coupled to...

I will have both my '66 Chryslers at Moparfest on Saturday. I attend every year. My brother will have his white '66 NYer Town Sedan there too. This was part of our club line-up from last year. The "Mopar MadMen".

Wow, that is surprising. I had a similar situation in needing reverse light lens gaskets and door handle gaskets for a 1966 Chrysler. I had a CAD file for the door handle gaskets. I had already contacted a couple local shops that specialize in that kind of work but they brushed me off. I...

Is that one of them new-fangled "cold air intake" kits?

I think those are Intro Imperial wheels, or similar. https://introwheels.com/en/products/intro-wheels/intro-wheels-imperial-brushed-clear-coat-15-7-581-841-5xblank6xblank-80-80-covered-intro-wheels-imperial-brushed-clear-coat-15-7-581-841-5xblank6xblank-80-80-covered

That is a Newport :)

I considered "Corvarado", like Corvette + Silverado, but the name is taken. :lol:

I've been hanging onto these wheels off a 1978 Cordoba for a long time and finally put them on my convertible, with some new Nexen 225/75R15 tires.

Nice picture, but that's a 1956 Chrysler New Yorker, not an Imperial.

It's possible that a refueling port was added to Webb, so that some future space vehicle could be sent up to rendezvous with it and refuel it. Even if so, that would be a much more complicated feat than refueling Hubble was.

Hubble has exceeded its original mission lifetime, which was 15 years. This was possible because there were space shuttle missions to Hubble to refuel, repair and replace on-board instruments. Webb is not orbiting earth, so no resupply missions are possible. When it runs out of fuel for orbit...

Neat photos. On a related note, anyone have any magazine print ads from Chrysler Canada? I only really look for 1966 Chrysler ads, but all of the 1966 Chrysler ads I see are from the US, except for this one. I found this scan of it online somewhere, not an actual hardcopy.

The FlyinWhale was an inspiration to me when I was building my 66 Windsor. I was planning to take my Windsor to Carlisle in 2020 and the FlyinWhale was going to be attending too. I was really looking forward to getting pictures of our cars side-by-side. Unfortunately Covid put the brakes on that...
