Valvoline Interesting Old Crock Site

[ARCHINSTL]

While looking for info about an oil, I noticed that Valvoline has some really interesting info on old cars - foreign and domestic.
Stuff about restoration of interiors and exteriors, maintenance, etc. Not really in-depth, but pretty interessting, nevertheless.
The cool section is on the drop-down at the left titled "Modern Classics." Almost 70 articles on interesting "real world" cars, from Karmann-Ghias to Datsun Roadsters to ... etc and etc. Alas, nothing on T4WDs.
The link is http://www.valvoline.com/pages/carcare/ ... 5&scccid=1

I really liked this classic phrase from the story about the immortal Vincent Black Shadow motorcycle:
" Admiring the massive engine taking up most of the cramped space between the wheels, one reviewer said,
"it looks like it was forced in with a whip and a chair."

I saw a pre-war Black Shadow once, a long time ago, at a show - it gave new meaning to the word "shoehorned."
According to the article, Jay Leno has a dozen of these - although - what car/bike does Jay Leno NOT have a dozen of?

Hey...a trip down memory lane. Cars I almost bought...cars someone else drove. Loves lost...and missed.

A while back I got to thinking about all the cars I've owned. Put together this table. The values on the far right could be way off on the low side especially for the 55 Olds Holiday Coupe and the 57 Chevies.
