Old school GMC "Jimmy" six
Over the past several years, I've developed a serious crush on GM OHV inline sixes - actually inline sixes in general. I ran across this modern take on an old school "Jimmy" six, made my heart go pitter patter...
Here's the article from BangShift...
"Gary Hart's 1951 Chevy truck build is really looking awesome. The lines of a classic early 1950s Chevy are tough to beat, but the real star of this show is the engine. Hart is using an old school GMC "Jimmy" six that will feature fuel injection, distributor-less ignition, and most importantly, a turbocharger. There's something really neat about attacking an old school engine with new technology. The Jimmy is a tough customer, so a little boost should go a long way.
Gary has a long history in Land Speed Racing. He previously raced a turbocharged Buick straight eight engine, so he's familiar with force feeding an old engine to get the most out of it.
There's some really neat fabrication going on as well, with stainless pipes from a factory used as pieces of the turbo plumbing. Gary is doing the whole truck by himself and hopes to have it ready to go by the mid summer. The coil packs on the side plate look 100% bad ass!"

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...

Split window company buses
I've always had a bit of a soft spot for VW buses - unfortunately, they always get associated with stupid fuckin' hippies. This site features an ass load of photos and illustrations showing the more utilitarian side of this vehicle.
