When men were men (and likely to get killed)

Killed Myself When I Was Young from The Jalopy Journal on Vimeo.

Warning this video is not censored. It shows the brutality of racing pre/post WW2. You needed a set of brass ones to get behind the wheels of these...

From Just a Car Guy... "this video is a compilation of crashes, and unlike todays videos of incredibly designed race cars, the roadsters and early racecars in this video didn't have many features that could save the lives of the drivers. No padded dashes, no airbags, no steering wheels that will bend and are concave so you don't get the column through your sternum, no roll cages or tops of any kind to keep the driver in during rollovers, no seat belts, and nothing like a crumple zone."

Jeep FC 150 Mini Van

This minivan concept is based on Jeep's forward-control chasis from the 1950's. It's definitely one of the coolest minivans I have ever seen - and it's 4 wheel drive...

1979 (I think) Pontiac Grand Prix

Been eyein' this cherry Gran Prix in the parking lot of my neighborhood Publix. It belongs to someone who works at the store - I see it all the time. It appears this thing has never been repainted or redone. The interior is used but doesn't look bad for the age.

This car is so cool because you never see a GM A-Body in this shape - or not around the ATL. They usually looked ragged-ragged out or super ghettofied. It's nice to see something this stock and in this good original shape.

It reminds me of my original ride - 1978 Cutlass Supreme.
