Posted by Terry Shea - The Golden Gate Bridge in 1953. Photo by Charles W. Cushman, courtesy of Indiana University Archives When it comes to man-made landmarks in the United States, the Golden Gate Bridge ranks up there with the best of them. Along with its iconic design and color (known as International Orange and chosen for its high visibility in the often fog-shrouded area), the bridge has also shown remarkable utility and durability, having stayed open with very few exceptions since May 27, 1937.

Hemmings Finds of the Day - 1952 Jeep M38A1s
Posted by Daniel Strohl - Memorial Day is, of course, a federal holiday reserved to commemorate America's war dead, but it's also a day to recognize American veterans. As car guys, we can think of no better way to do so than to feature a couple of military Jeeps as Hemmings Finds of the Day. The first one, above, a 1952 Jeep M38A1, appears ready for a parade, complete with a trailer. From the seller's description: Colonel's Command Jeep (M38-AI). Three-year restoration. To include all systems. Cosmetic and mechanicals as needed to maintain ...Read On>>Marqued for death: more American orphans
Posted by Jeff Koch - Now that the dust has settled on American car-company reorganizations, and no more long-storied nameplates are under duress for the moment, Hemmings Classic Car wanted to take a look back at America's orphaned marques.

Sunday! Stock car racing in Gardena
Posted by Daniel Strohl - Gardena, California, is known to many a Southern California gearhead for its rich dirt track history. Throughout the 1950s, the city supported three different dirt tracks, including Gardena Stadium, a third-mile dirt oval that on March 9, 1958, hosted the NASCAR Pacific Coast Late Model 150-lap race. The photographer from the Los Angeles Examiner who photographed the race didn't seem to leave behind any captions with his photos, which we found on the USC Digital Library's online photo archive, but that won't keep us...Read On>>What you need to know before buying a vintage race car
Posted by Harold Pace - This BMW 2002 is a good example of a reasonably-priced vintage racing car that could be raced with many clubs. Vintage racing is fun, no doubt about it. Sliding your favorite classic car around a race track while dicing with newfound friends sounds like an ideal way to spend all that free time you keep hearing about. I've been involved with vintage racing since the early 1990s as a driver, crew member and race official, and have seen the phenomenon take off from a few poorly attended events to world-wide popularity...Read On>>
