“Hi to all. Yes I am happy to own an Elan again. I use to own an Elan S4 1970 back in 1971 in New York and I’ve never stopped missing it since I sold it after a couple of years ….even dreaming about it every now and then!”

“My brother Doug, working with our aeronautical engineer father, the late James L. Amick, handcrafted this line in ’83 – ’84. It was a natural extension of the original Windmobile, featured on the cover of Popular Science in the 70s, which he created while just a teenager. The Windmobile was even more experimental: it was conceived as a sailing vehicle (originally on ice) and had no motors. To this end, it was fitted with two concentric steering wheels — one for normal steering, and a larger…”

“These cars are just great. I bought a 2024 manual on a whim last year and have zero regrets. They do it all so well. My fair weather daily drivers last summer were this Golf, a 2018 GT3 Touring, and my venerable 993. For regular use, the Golf is ~80% of the fun of the GT3 for 20% of the money. Sold the GT3 shortly thereafter just because I prefer the Golf. Will never sell the 993, though.”

“My heart skipped a beat when I saw this. My first job out of college was working for TDM in Livonia MI which later became Wheel to Wheel a prototype shop for GM’s Jon Moss. We built a 383 6spd SS with a rollcage for GM Special Vehicles to do high speed testing at MIS. I don’t think this is that car but always wondered what happened to it and many others. Great first engineering job for a young gear head.”

“Pininfarina was truly on a roll with these mid to late ’60s Ferrari cars. Some of most beautiful designs ever penned, IMHO. The blue is a formidable statement proving the simple elegance of the design. For bigger drivers (he said looking in the mirror) this might be the most comfortable Ferrari ever built. GLWTA!”

“I had an HF back when new. Loved it. The gas mileage and reliability of these sought after economy cars is incredible. This Cali car looks fantastic and a lucky winner will smile on each shift all while passing the pumps and motoring on! Enjoy”

“It has been a genuine privilege to have this extraordinary 113-year-old racing motorcycle on display in my collection. It stands as far more than a rare machine—it is a tangible reminder of the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and determination of the pioneers who built it.
This motorcycle is a testament to what skilled hands, creative minds, and unwavering perseverance could accomplish more than a century ago.
Yet the motorcycle tells only part of the story.
It also pays tribute to the fearless…”

“I’ve seen these cars in person when they were new at Straman’s over next to the Orange County Airport. The workmanship is superb. No one believes me when I say that there was a convertible CRX.
More importantly than that, no one believes there was EVER a teddy bear wheel made for any car – and I’ve told stories about them on a Volkswagen Cabriolet I once had. I have only ever seen ONE at a tire dealer. Never a complete set.
This car embodies every story I’ve ever told about cars made of…”
