THE FORGOTTEN THOROUGHBRED - DeSoto had a short but impressive history, and their Fifties cars were as luxurious, powerful and excessive as any from equivalent divisions at GM or Ford. So how come they never made it into the swinging Sixties? Find out here, and check out this gorgeous '56 Adventurer.

FULL CIRCLE - The story of one man's life-long love of American vehicles; from vandalised wrecks to the superb car you see here, a '59 Oldsmobile 88 Dynamic SceniCoupe, a car they had to make extra-wide to fit the name across the bootlid!

RACE RELATIONS: ROCKINGHAM GETS ROLLING - Nothing sums up home-grown American motor racing better than the colourful NASCAR series. Now it's right here in the UK, so find out the score before making your way to Great Britain's newest and best slice of American pie!

CHEVROLET SETS THE PACE - Chevrolet have often had a car leading the pack at Indianapolis. More often than not though it had flashing lights and flags on it! Rob Daines takes a look at some of the Bowties that have been pace cars for the Indy 500 over the past 50 years.

WORLD OF WHEELS - In the 'off-season' in the States, you can still find top quality car shows to go to. The World of Wheels in Phoenix, Arizona, is just such a show, held in a huge indoor hall to keep out the Arizona winter (which is still nicer than most UK summers!).
