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).

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.

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.

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.

Normally british classics like MG, Triumph or Healey are too well-behaved to break ranks. But there are some guys who turn british understatement upside down by swapping, for example, a Pontiac V8 into a '69 TR6. Or a Buick V8 in a '74 Lotus Elise. So, if your heart beats for orginal matching numbers cars, don't go to www.britishv8.org!

I saw this badass Scion in the March issue of Hot Rod and got in touch with Rick, the owner, HAHAHA! who kindly built a ride page for it on web. Yep, it's a RWD xB with a stroked 350 putting out 400 hp. Other than the Weld Draglites (which look killer on this car IMO) it's a total sleeper.

Scion just release this teaser image of their Hako concept, which will be unveiled at the New York Auto Show later this month. It will mostly take the Fuse concept one step closer to production, and could very well be the replacement for the tC coupe.

Developed by the Tokyo Design Devision, the Hako Concept Coupe is like a hot rodder's dream of the xB. It looks hot in orange, too. Let's hope they end up making something like it.

Scion always has great displays, and their New York spread is no exception. And I was glad to see that they had already rolled out the Hako concept front and center..
Oh, and I see there is a lot of hate on the Hako concept. I agree that the windshield is a bit absurd, but it is a pretty cool little car.
