1969 Chicago Auto Show

 

There are a few cool old pics from the Chicago Auto Show on Flickr. The car above is Chrysler’s Concept 70X with parallelogram doors. You can see a bunch more vintage show pics at the Chicago Auto Show site (unfortunately they are a lot smaller).

Tomahawk concept


Tomahawk

 

Once, when I was trying to explain how fast my Suzuki TL1000R was, one of my buddies quipped, "Oh, the big engine with wheels? It's fast huh? Imagine that." Well, if there was ever a vehicle which deserves to be called a big engine with wheels, it's the Dodge Tomahawk concept.

Rumor Mill

Chrysler

Fortune has a nice little article summing up some of the rumors that have been swirling around Chrysler of late. "One major reason for all the gossip is that, as a private company, Chrysler now operates with a far lower public profile than it used to. Outsiders eagerly pounce on every piece of news that dribbles out." Rumors include everything from predictions of impending doom for Chrysler stock, to the possibility of Ford merging with Chrysler, keeping the Jeep brand and some of the minivans, and then ditching everything else. Me? I'm predicting Chrysler will sell every Challenger they can build in 2008.

600 Chrysler LXs

Mopar meet

California proved that tuner cars need not always be imports when the Southern California LX Forum hosted their third annual Spring Fling. I read a story over on Automotive Traveler about the meet, which was attended by more than 600 Chrysler LXs (Chrysler 300C, Dodge Magnum and Charger), and where Dodge execs from Auburn Hills premiered the first production-spec 2008 Challenger while blues rocker Kenny Wayne Shepard took the wraps off of his latest Mopar, a bitchin' pro-street '72 Charger powered by a new-gen 6.1-liter SRT8 Hemi V8.
