There are few things more American than a classic pickup….especially one that has a modified inline-6 pushing power to the rear wheels, a wood sided custom dump bed, and a Bald Eagle covered in Old Glory bursting from the hood. Prepare yourself for a healthy dose of freedom. Find this 1954 GMC 250 Dump Bed […]
For this week’s Two Wheel Tuesday (how original) we visit the mother of all touring bikes. Honda brought out their Gold Wing tourer in 1974 and by the time this 5th generation Gold Wing was manufactured in 2007, it weighed in at 800lbs, was over 8 feet long, powered by a 1.8 liter flat 6 […]
Sometimes you can just look at a vehicle and think, “I bet that driver owns a Hard Rock Cafe t-shirt.” And while most trucks don’t make good cars, the rare performance-special 454SS doesn’t make much of a truck either.

Between the winged and eyelidded ’56-’58 (aka “Christine”), and the low and slow Gran Coupes of the 1970s is the generation represented here. The III […]
It is Wednesday so that means it’s time for another edition of Daily Turismo’s game of pin the tail on the donk — also known as Mid Week Match-Up! Last week, we asked readers for an idea for a road trip car and were inundated with great suggestions (particularly tempting was this grandma owned Q45 […]
If you asked someone what he thinks of the average Californian, he will probably conjure up images of Los Angeles, San Francisco or even San Diego — big sprawling metropolises filled with run of the mill city folk who spend a lot of time in traffic.
