Mason, Ohio – In the shadow of the Eiffel Tower and a proverbial stone’s throw from the OnAllCylinders Southwest Ohio field office rests Mason High School—home of the first annual Jyan Waespe Car and Bike Show. The event hopes to raise scholarship funds for trade students entering the automotive industry in the name of a young car enthusiast who’s life was cut short in a tragic auto accident. And judging from the turnout, we’re inclined to think that the event was a roaring success.

We’re thinking it’s a tribute because it’s got a Skylark badge on the rear quarter and a Buick emblem on the nose of the hood.

From CB radios to the Atari 2600, woodgrain trim was de rigueur styling accessory for much of the 20th century—and automobiles were no exception. But unlike our favorite home electronics, there’s an obvious historical precedent for using wood trim on a car or truck.

Do you love cruising down the road, windows down, with a nice playlist of jams filling the air? From Wolfgang to Waylon, The Beatles to Beastie Boys, we do too—which is why we figured you’d dig today’s Lot Shots feature. We’ll explain why in a sec, but first a little history, because thanks to a certain autumn red Plymouth Fury, we think these cars have gotten a bad rap.

Plenty of racers and performance engine builders fondly recall the “Green Oil” that rose to fame during the 1970s.
