Nascar Tundras: Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks
|
Toyota is obviously foreign to America, foreign to Nascar Craftsman racing, but is not foreign to smart engineering. So when Toyota decided to run Tundras in the Nascar Craftsman circuit they had to not only start from scratch, but had to reverse engineer and redesign antiquated American engines. Apparently the process is paying off as the new racing Tundras are sleek, powerful and conform to regulations. The Nascar Craftsman series is not just for Americans anymore.

The Burying Of A Classic?
|
47 years ago, on June 15, 1957, a brand-new Plymouth Belvedere V-8 Sport Coupe with Sportone was slowly lowered into a time capsule on the southeast corner of the Tulsa County Courthouse lawn. The car was to remain underground for 50 years, when the person (or his heirs) whose guess was closest to the exact population of Tulsa in 2007 will win the car. People have not forgotten the contest and one big question is "Will Chrysler honor the new car warranty?"

Henry Ford And The Model T
|
Henry Ford invented neither the automobile nor the assembly line, but recast each to dominate a new era. Indeed, no other individual in this century so completely transformed the nation's way of life.
