Wild About Cars.com just published their No Limits Magazine online for June. In this edition there is a great history of the development of the Ford 427 SOHC and its Chrysler 426 Hemi competitor. It is interesting how the two motors evolved, one pushing the other for NASCAR dominance. The story also covers how NASCAR was forced to homologate engines in order to make it fair for manufacturers. These two engines were the reason. Click here to read the article by Wild About Cars.com. The article has lots of interesting diagrams of the engines.

An historically significant classic car has been listed for sale by Beverly Hills Car Club in Los Angeles, this week. They posted a 1959 Facel Vega HK500, the French luxury car. Facel was a French aircraft company which transitioned into building cars for European auto manufacturers in partnership with Metallion. They decided to build their own luxury car with some success in the 1950's. This iconic 1959 Facel Vega HK500 is done in one of the most vibrant color combinations. It comes equipped with an automatic transmission and a V8 engine, power windows, disc brakes, power steering, OEM radio and solid wheels. Beverly Hills Car Club tells us it is a classic car with strong investment potential. Many celebrities were known to have owned Facel Vegas giving it a high profile. Facel went out of business in 1964. The HK500 was produced from 1959 until 1962. Only 489 were ever built.

In their first two years, the 1953 and 1954 Buick Skylarks were only offered as convertibles. This was an exclusive luxury automobile which gave Cadillac a run for its money among wealthy American new car buyers. Today, Shelton Classics in Mooresville, North Carolina has this Malibu blue 1954 Buick Skylark Convertible for sale. It comes with the 322 ci V8 engine and an automatic 2-speed transmission. The list of options includes power windows, power drum brakes, power steering, clock, chrome wheels, body side moldings, power antenna and an AM radio. Of the first two years of production, there were fewer Skylarks produced in 1954 with only 836 ever built. To many Buick collectors they have become more valuable than the first-year 1953 editions.

Flemings Ultimate Garage tells us their 1972 Oldsmobile 442 Convertible is the lowest mile example in the collector car hobby right now. Their ad says this classic muscle car has only 1,650 original miles from new!! That's amazing. They say it has had the same owner for the first 42 years. He told them his father was an Oldsmobile dealer so he just checked all the right boxes on the order form. The mileage statement comes with a notarized affidavit. They say it is an original matching #'s W29 442 convertible, one of only 1,029 built.

Dodge Power Wagons are among the most interesting pickup trucks ever produced. The name conjures up images of the World War II "monster" trucks that would run through anything in their path.
