For us there are always a few events that really mark the beginning of show and swap meet season here in Eastwood-country. One of them is the Spring Carlisle swap meet where you could find most anything you need for your classic car project, but where do you go to find classic motorcycle parts you ask? Well the motorcycle counterpart (ironically the same weekend as Carlisle) is the Antique Motorcycle Club of America (AMCA) national show and swap meet in the sleepy town of Oley, PA.

What Do These Car Pictures Say To You?
If you really know your classic American cars, you’ll want to see if you can identify any of the cars in two photographs that appear in the blog on the Hemmings web site (link below). It’s not as easy as it sounds, because the pictures were taken in a Philadelphia […]

Classic Cars Stuck In Time…in Havana, Cuba
While browsing through some videos on YouTube, I came across a 4-1/2-minute home movie that someone took on a trip to Havana, Cuba. It’s amazing, but at first glance you’ll think it’s a video about a classic car show somewhere in Florida! Virtually all the American cars in Cuba are […]
Firewall Fabrication and Some Packard Donor Parts
Now that we’re starting to settle into our new workshop and photo/video studio here at the Eastwood headquarters, I’ve been able to turn my attention back to making progress on Project Pile House. At this point the truck has the silhouette that I’ve been envisioning, but it just needs a […]
Texan Buys Classic Car Once Owned By Classic Slugger Babe Ruth
This regal blue 1948 Lincoln Continental two-door hardtop coupe is not a restoration project. It’s been kept in pristine shape all these years, and was recently sold to car collector Lonnie Shelton (no, not the ex-NBA player). But it’s not just any 1948 Lincoln. “The first time I saw the […]
