You may have never heard of a Chevrolet Parkwood and Brookwood... that is because no one seems to have a thing for station wagons, I was surprised to see them at Goodguys!

cool rabbit, I doubt anyone else but Von Dutch ever did a pinstriped rabbit. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/06/ever-come-across-von-dutch-tribute.html

Parkwood above has 4 doors, Brookwood below has 2 doors

Something about the colors, contrast and light just make me like this a lot, and I already love Cougars

Not many people go for Cougars, and I rarely ever see them on the road. They have such a great grill, and the hidden headlights are not found on a lot of cars, now or then, and I think that of all the cas that hed them, I've loved the look. 66-67 Charger, 69 Camaro, The 68 Cougar, the Toronado, and Rivieras... no one makes a grill look anymore, everyone seems to design a tiny radiator opening, and puts the headlights outside that.

Something totally new in car information boards for car shows. Cool?!?! You bet......... expensive? Guaranteed

It's very similar to a 1950's home movie projector screen in the way it rolls up out of the case.

It claims it's almost impossible to blow over... which makes sense, a heavy base with a big foot print wouldn't blow over easy.

18X36" Wide, which is $275 plus $35 shipping. That is a hell of a lot for a display board, I figure about half of that would be allright, so I looked at what this company charges for the ordinary display boards... $185 for a 13" x 18". I don't know what other companies charge, but that is too expensive for me

Honda to offer go-faster version of CR-Z

HONDA'S just announced the sportiest hybrid it makes will be made a little hotter with the announcement that a performance version will arrive next year.

The company said that it has teamed up with tuning firm MUGEN to offer go-faster version of the CR-Z hybrid coupe, which will offer up 50% more power than the existing car and rocket to sixty no less than three seconds faster.
