I found something very interesting yesterday. I was looking for a specific book in my "library" yesterday when I came across something I had forgotten I owned. It's a "Chrysler 1970 Data Book." As I said, I forgot I owned it, so I started perusing it. Then I saw it, engines available in the...

Say what you want about living in California, but there are many places where we don't pack our cars away for the winter. Here it is, December 13, and I picked my 5 year old Grandson up from his Kindergarten class!

Hey People. I was at the Fall Fling in Van Nuys this past weekend, October 21. Didn't take a lot of pictures, and there weren't really that many cars there. But the following were the ones I liked: Upon arrival, this is what I saw. There are normally cars by that table and beyond. Only a...

On October 6, my Sister, her ex-Husband, her daughter and son-in-law, and her two grandchildren came to Fresno for a 3-day visit. My Niece, Alice, loves cars, and goes to shows with her granddad. She was looking forward to seeing my Newport and Gremlin! So, I didn't let her down! I took her...

I was at Hot August Nights again this past weekend. I forgot my camera so I don't have the pictures to post as I usually do. But! I saw this car and couldn't not use my phone to take a few shots, and I wish I took more! It is a Ford with a '58 392 Hemi in it. Talked with the owner; he built...

Do any of you receive Hemmings Motor News? If so, did you read the results of Amelia Island Auction? If not, turn to page 60 and read the description of the 1963 Facel Vega that was sold there. can't believe what I read: "Several years ago, the car was restored in medium blue (and red...

All right, I now have three of our cars to Fresno. And in answer to the question, "Can you tow a C Body on a U-Haul transport?" the answer remains: Yes! Two weeks ago I trailered the Gremlin to our house in Fresno. Last Friday, I took the Newport, drove back to Chico on Saturday, then after...

As I've ben having electrical gremlins since October, my Newport hasn't been running. Since we are moving at the end of June, I needed to remedy that! I pulled all of the connectors from the Bulkhead Connector and attempted to clean all of the ends. I had a good result as my interior lights...

Ok, this is just really bizarre!! My front license plate for my Newport has been missing for over two years. My Daughter, Mariah, Son-in-law Vince, Grandson Preston and I went to breakfast at Morning Thunder in Chico one morning and I noticed it missing after we ate. Being that this was the...

I've had a fun 15 months of chasing electrical gremlins and power steering leaks. Last Tuesday, I drove my Newport out of town for the first time since October, 2019. Last Saturday I drove to the bank and then to Big Al's Happy Burger to get Frances and I lunch. While there I received a...

I appreciated the comments some of you posted on my sermon two weeks ago. Here is last Sunday's. Again, this is volunteer; if you don't want to see this, don't watch. And no I am not trying to exorcise the demons of Toyota out of my Sanctuary! (The picture is weird!!!)

With all of the sad news right now with the Coronavirus shutdown, I have a piece of good news! My Son, who works for Total Body Experts, a company that sells Physical Training Equipment (high-end), is having the best month of his career!! I guess with all the Gyms closing people want to keep...

I am finally getting around to posting the few pictures I took at the Fall Fling on October 26. As I said, I didn't take too many pictures, but here you go; hope you enjoy. Check this out: that 392 still has the fuel-injection on it! 361 with two fours, cool! Give the owner a call if...

Yesterday, Friday, September 6, Dave Carr and I drove to Dunsmuir, CA, to have lunch at Yaks, a famous Burger Place hat many people stop at on I-5. I drove from Chico, an Dave from his home in the Salem, Or. area. We both drove our Newport ragtops, his a '68, mine a '70. Happy to say both...

My wife and I took a trip for my most recent vacation, and we actually did a road trip for the first time since 2003. We drove to Denver to watch the Giants beat the Rockies, then down to Phoenix to watch the D-Backs beat the Brewers. We returned home with one stop for lunch in Fresno with our...

Hey all! I am in Israel at the present time until Thursday, March 28. This is my fourth trip here, and I am, again, truly blessed to be here. One thing I always do when I';m here is look at the cars. I have bot seen any old cars yet, except for one Mercedes SEL. I have noticed far less US...

Well, not exactly the same thing, but it snowed here in Chico, CA last night. I was worried about my wife driving to Oroville where she teaches, a 30-minute drive. She has enough problems with hydroplaning in the rain. She made it safely. Picture was taken at 6:27 this morning. I was at a...

Yesterday my curiosity piqued, so my wife and I took a drive and went up to Paradise and Magalia for the first time since the Camp Fire. It's truly devastating folks. At the same time it was fascinating; fascinating in the presentation of what burned and what didn't. We saw a house on Clark...
