Contents Listing - Articles & Features in this issue
57 FAIRLANE - Both Mercedes and Peugeot reckoned they were breaking new ground recently when they unveiled their 'revolutionary' convertible hardtops. American car fans of course know better - Ford were at it fifty years ago!
FAST TIMES AT THE INDY 500 PART II - Steve Havelock continues his look at the most famous race in America, and the cars and drivers that made it famous. This month, he tracks its history between the two World Wars.
STUDE BEEF - If you're looking to Lark about in a small, inoffensive little street-sleeper, then this Studebaker compact is the car for you. A factory-fitted supercharged small-block helps the little Lark R2 can make the owners of more sophisticated machinery eat rubber!
WILL'S RUSTY TRAILS - Will's back on the road less travelled again, this time going west to east along the old US80, from the Pacific coast in California to the Atlantic coast in Georgia. If you want to see the real America, the Rusty Trail is the only one to hit!
REBEL WITHOUT A PAUSE - AMC got it right with their stab at the pony car market, the AMX, and right at the end of the performance era, they finally bought out some real mid-size muscle too. Had they missed the boat, or were they saving the best for last?
SWAMP FEVER! SHOW REPORT - The second round of the Classic American Car of the Year contest tour led us to Billing Aquadrome. A little less Aqua would have been nice, but the American cars turned up in their droves, and a good time was had by all!
THE FUTURE IS OVAL SHOW REPORT - We've been eagerly anticipating the opening of Rockingham Motor Speedway for some time now, so when we heard that they were having huge displays of American cars both on- and off-track, wild horses couldn't have kept us away.
BUYING BASICS - Clark Wilson goes on the hunt for classic American cars, and tells you some of the things you should watch out for to separate the cream puffs from the dogs' dinners. Don't go shopping without it!
BEHIND THE WHEEL - More Classic American regulars swap the spanners for a pen, and tell you about their own trials and tribulations of American car.pwnership. You think you've got a problem? You're not alone!
THE CORMORANT'S SWANSONG - The last of the true Packards, before they became badge-engineered Studebakers, were fine, well-built luxury cars. Here's an example from Sweden that shows what a great legacy these last great Packards were.
THE RISE AND SET OF SUN - Sun Records were responsible for finding a lot of raw talents back in the Fifties, many of whom went on to become the best known and loved stars in music's history. Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison - all of them started out at Sun!
HE-HE-HEMSBY! - Once again, the East coast rocked to the sound of thousands of revellers reliving the glorious days of the Fifties. Fifties cars, fashions, music ... Classic American went along to experience that time-warp feeling!
