If ever there was a TV show that inflicted its viewers with an enduring admiration for a certain muscle car, without a doubt, that show is the southern-situated, action-comedy series, “The Dukes of Hazzard,” which debuted in 1979. Those poor Duke Boys were constantly being harassed by local law enforcement, just because they rode around in what was supposed to be a mildly tamed stock car. Well, maybe also because they’d dabbled a little in the bootleg liquor trade in their past.

Contrary to what the show-going populace might be led to believe today, Chevrolet’s Nova was most often purchased as a mild-mannered compact throughout its first 18 years of production. Chris Glander, of East Greenbush, New York, is amply qualified to attest to that fact, as he’s lived in the presence of this stunning example from the 1970 model year since the day it was driven home, brand-new from the dealership.

Nothing sucks the wind out of a good time with a classic car than having a ride that you just can’t trust to get to your destination and back. In the collector car world, it’s an all too familiar scenario, playing out regularly at car cruises and other shows. Contributing to these issues is the fact that cars that are driven sparingly tend to accumulate mechanical issues the longer they sit dormant.

The American Motors Corporation was widely known for their economy cars and family-friendly cruisers during most of their existence. However, when the mid-1960s arrived, the leadership of the company looked around and saw what was happening in both car culture and in the marketplace. The Big Three had loaded up their guns and set the car kingdom ablaze with loud, brash, and monstrously fast vehicles, aimed squarely at the day’s youthful market.

Everyone has a lucky number. Seven, eleven, your birthday or even the jersey number of your favorite sports player come to mind as popular choices when picking that special digit(s) that will hopefully bring you good fortunes. For the Hometown Foundation, well it looks like twenty-four has become its good luck number, as the 24th installment of the Dream Ride Experience that took place August 23rd-25th at the Farmington Polo Club fairgrounds in Farmington, Connecticut, was one for the ages.

A few years back my wife and I were rolling through our beach town when she spied this nice little red Bronco cruising Ocean Avenue. “Wow, that’s really nice, why don’t we get one of those,” she said to me. Shocked, I turned to her and said, “Even with my three Barracudas, you really want one of those”? “I think we could find a spot in our garage for something like that” was her rebuttal. That Bronco was owned by a friend of mine, who ten years previous I had helped him locate online for purchase.

It doesn’t take long being around gearheads to learn that we live in a world of factions. Some are casual, while others take their loyalties seriously. Then there are Mopar enthusiasts. When it comes to rabid fans of a specific brand or marque, the Mopar folks take the cake and are rather proud of it. To that end, Summit Motor Sports Park is hosting its 2nd-annual World of Mopar event September 19-22, 2024.

Photos Courtesy of the Motor Trend Archives/Wes Allison Photography/Douglas R GladIf you remember Car Craft Magazine, you might also remember its beloved Cheap Street Chevelle, the 1970 Chevelle that they acquired for $3,000 in the mid-1990s. At the time it was an oil-slurping small-block-powered driver that had been stored in the California sun for 8 years. The late John Kiewicz was sent to the rough side of town to retrieve the car and bring it to the HOT ROD shop in Van Nuys, California.
