Antique & Classic Cars Blog

Ok folks. If you love cars, and you do (any arguments to the contrary are philosophical and made by people who have never seen a 1953 Corvette, Ford GT40, 3.8-liter E Jag, Lamborghini Miura, Ferrari Lusso, MB 300SL, BMW 507…) you’ll enjoy these car videos.

Many manufacturers claim to produce the fastest road-legal car. Who wins the claim is not our problem. But here’s a great video of the Bugatti Veyron throttle-stomped all the way to its top speed of over 250 miles per hour:

In the late ’70s a French director strapped a camera beneath the bumper of a 12-cylinder Ferrari and had a professional driver thrash it through the streets of Paris, without city permission or knowledge, at daybreak. A friend of mine used to work and house-sit for Al Garthwaite, who owned Algar Ferrari in Philadelphia, and we watched his tape of this in the early ’80s. It was and still is awesome:

Finally, a great Honda ad, celebrating that company’s long and varied history. (Believe that’s our own Garrison Keillor’s voice at the end):
