The 2nd annual Cool Classic Car Show, the Studebaker and Pierce Arrow get together

Notice in the below photo an STP sticker on the front vent cap

I don't remember seeing any tachs that actuallu spell out RPM into words before this one

Old decals, gotta love them

Multi colored engine bay, red, yellow, orange and black... quite the variety

With or without front bumpers... I like the look of the without

On the outside of the glove box is the single word, Vanity, and once the door is opened, the "Vanity" is ready for use, because they hadn't yet invented the mirrors on the top of the visors

I don't know what the letters stand for, I can only speculate... the pink color is just reflected from the full sunlight bouncing off the red interior onto the chrome

Such simply stated guages and radio face, how far they've changed since then. Now there are 3 FM selections, AM, XM, Sirius, CD, Mp3, blue tooth, and navigation. I like the look of the old ones a lot more.

Just 1 through 10 on the speedometer, no MPH and KPH nonsense, no numbers on the clock, no amounts to the ammeter or fuel gauges, just the ends of the scale. Cool.

Elegant interior

I like the full length brake lights

What a rare valve cover decal.

These are the instructions for removing the spare tire: "TO CHANGE TIRE REMOVE TOP BOLT AND DROP BUMPER" pat appd

One of the few cool brake lights with the car company's name in it

2010 Jaguar Sports Cars XKR 75

The 2010 Jaguar Sport Car XKR 75 will provide owners with exclusivity, excitement and a hint of Jaguar’s great heritage its debut at the 2010 Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 2. Jaguar Land Rover CEO, Dr Ralf Speth, initiated the challenge to the Jaguar engineering team to construct an XKR to celebrate Jaguar's 75th anniversary, which would deliver a combination of enhanced performance, superb chassis and steering control and grip levels to inspire the driving enthusiast to explore the true potential of the XKR's capabilities.

“The Jaguar Sport Car XKR 75 will provide owners with an exclusive, fun and a bit of the Jaguar heritage. This is a way to celebrate the power of the XK sports trademark name Jaguars 75 years,” said Mike O'Driscoll, managing director, Jaguar Cars.

Jaguar engineers increased the power and torque of the acclaimed 5.0-litre supercharged engine to 530PS and 655Nm respectively for the Jaguar Sport Car XKR 75, to deliver truly outstanding performance. While the limited edition model’s top speed is electronically limited to 174mph (280km/h), the Jaguar Sport Car XKR 75's 0-60mph (100km/h) acceleration time is reduced from 4.6 to 4.4 seconds compared to the standard 510 PS XKR. "We conceived the XR 75 as a sports car with a duality of character that makes it perfectly suited to driving across Europe to the Nurburgring, completing some very fast laps, and then driving home again, added Mike Cross, Chief Engineer Vehicle Integrity.

The Jaguar Sport Car XKR 75 features revised suspension and handling for increased precision and agility in addition to the performance enhancements. To ensure the XKR 75 remains stable at high speeds, a revised aerodynamic body pack with a front splitter, side sills extensions, a rear diffuser and larger rear spoiler provide increased balance and a reduction in lift. The XKR's computerised Active Differential Control also adjusts to reduce steering sensitivity at very high speeds, further improving stability and driver control.

Production of the Jaguar sports car XKR 75 is limited to just 75 vehicles, which will be available to order from July 2010 in the UK priced from £85,500 OTR. Customer deliveries will commence during October 2010.

2010 VolksWagen Cars Beetle Bio-Bug Powered by Sewage Waste

Mohammed Saddiq, general manager of GENeco, has another idea, which would take something that's normally thought of as waste, and turn it into a way to power a vehicle. The prototype  2010 VolksWagen Cars Beetle Bio-Bug is powered by methane gas which is produced from human waste at sewage works. Another environmentally friendly car has been shown to the world today by Wessex Water in England.

2010 VolksWagen Cars Beetle Bio-Bug Powered by Sewage Waste. The Bio-Bug is a project from Wessex Water, a sewage treatment company in England. Now there’s Bio-Bug, a VW Beetle that runs on the methane gas generated at a sewage treatment plant, reports The Telegraph. Wessex Water, near Bristol, England, says that human waste from the toilets of 70 homes can power the Bio-Bug for a year.

GENeco believes that more gas will be produced at its Avonmouth site when the company embarks on its latest green venture to recycle food waste. Mr Saddiq said: “Waste flushed down the toilets in homes in the city provides power for the Bio-Bug, but it won’t be long before further energy is produced when food waste is recycled at our sewage works.

At first glance, the Beetle appears to be a publicity stunt for GENeco, which owns a number of waste treatment sites in the U.K. But consider this: A single sewage treatment plant in Bristol, England generates 18 million cubic meters of biogas each year. The Bio-Bug squeezes out 5.3 miles per cubic meter of biogas. So just one sewage treatment plant could keep cars running for 5,400,000 miles each year, according to the British Daily Mail.

The Volkswagen Beetle dubbed the “Bio-Bug” was built for GENeco by UK’s The Greenfuel Company. The Bio-Bug’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine was converted to run on biogas and still hit about 114 miles per hour. However, the Bio-Bug uses regular unleaded gas to start, then switches over to methane automatically once it’s running. GENeco, a company owned by Wessex Water, supplied the equipment to treat the gas. “If you were to drive the car you wouldn’t know it was powered by biogas, as it performs just like any conventional car,” said Mohammed Saddiq, general manager of GENeco, in the release.

Mr. Saddiq explained that GENeco had been supplying treated compressed methane gas to generate electricity for the plant site and exported to the National Grid. The fuel for the Bio-Bug was surplus gas “we had available” and “we wanted to put it to good use in a sustainable and efficient way.”

The Bio-Bug was built by the Greenfuel Company, which specializes in converting gas cars to run on liquified petroleum gas.

“The choice of car was inspired by students who took part in a workshop. They thought it would be appropriate that the poo-powered car should be the classic VW Beetle Bug because bugs naturally breakdown waste at sewage works to start the treatment process which goes on to produce the energy.”

Brilliant! Now, that’s a great marketing hook.

German premium car manufacturer, Mercedes-Benz electric cars ready to produce A-Class E-Cell, which will use battery power development results by Tesla Motors.

A total of 500 batteries will be produced, and his plans, Mercedes-Benz A-Class will feature E-Cell is the first time when the mat Paris Auto Show next October.

A spokesman for Daimler, Shirin Emeera, said electric A-Class will be produced in a factory Mercedes Rastatt, Germany Stuttgart. While the details will be revealed 15 September next.

A-Class E-Cell, the advanced Emeera, will have the mileage as far as 200 km and is capable of producing torque of 214 pound-feet. He declined to give further details.

However, Tesla's chief technical officer, JB Straubel, said electric A-Class will be armed with an electric motor-powered 40-kilowatt-hour by 4000 individual cells.

Strauble also said that the matter of performance, Mercedes-benz A-Class E-Cell is not going to be different, if not even slightly faster than the A-Class gas fuel versions.

peg Tesla battery on A-Class E-Cell will also provide benefits in terms of handling, because it would have a low center of gravity of the A-Class, so stable in the face of the bend.

However, the market segment for this electric A-Class still has not been determined. But, again Strauble revealed an A-Class E-Cell will be marketed in the U.S..

While Emeera says Daimler will not sell the A-Class E-Cell is in the showroom, but will sell directly to consumers or companies interested in the electric car from Daimler.

"We have customers who love the electric Smart, and also for customers who have kids and need a car seat back as the A-Class," he said, as reported by the New York Times, Thursday (09/02/2010).
