Introduced in 1934, the Type 57 is widely regarded as a masterpiece by the hand of Jean Bugatti. Like all Bugattis that preceded it, the Type 57 handled with finesse and possessed a delicate feel characteristic of these magnificent automobiles. Graceful, exquisitely made and incredibly exclusive, the Type 57 was

One of the more famous Bentleys to come out of the late ’90s is this exclusive and highly optioned 1999 Bentley Turbo RT long-wheelbase sedan. Affixed to the bottom of the door seal is a plaque stating that this is the last example to be delivered to North America, which
This car was first purchased by Flying Lizard Motorsports, securing three 2007 American Le Mans Series class wins in classic silver/red livery on the way to 2nd in the GT2 standings and 3rd for Jörg Bergmeister and Johannes Van Overbeek. For some, the RSR’s most memorable ALMS finish that year

I have a simple question. I see an increasing number of rallies and tours offering the option of having the route available as an app on a smart phone. On the SCM 1000, we used both the Rallista app and had a printed route book. Do you have a preference?
Two weekends ago, there were 10 vintage Alfa Romeo convertibles lined up at a rest stop near the Santiam Pass in Oregon. Cumulatively, they represented over 400 years of driving. Each year in April, the Alfa Romeo Club of Oregon puts on the “Old Spider Tour” to celebrate Alfa convertibles
Last week I noted that I always have a few cars on my watch list. At any given time, there will be a few marques I am following for no particular reason. Right now, it is Volvo 240s and Avantis. Let’s add to that Chevy Corvairs and Porsche Macans. Part

Museums were on my mind recently. The same week the Mullin Collection was dispersed through a sale by Gooding & Company, I was visiting Washington, D.C., immersing myself in the capital. You are truly swimming in the sea of our country’s history no matter where you go in the city.
In the March issue, we featured the story of famed E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg and his bad restoration experience. Weinberg was motivated to contact “Legal Files” with his cautionary tale in the hope that fellow SCMers might avoid getting into a similar situation. To recap, Weinberg agreed to
