That plan to create a 21st Century Duesenberg a few years back? It's since morphed into an effort to replicate the Duesenberg Model J phaeton with the six-man top, led by movie car builder Eddie Paul. Gizmag has more on the project.
* That Renault Dauphine cop car we had in this space a week or two ago? Not that far out of the realm of possibility, as we see from Thomas Turner's Flickr collection of compact cop cars, which includes the above Dauphine that Attica, Kansas, once used.

* Continuing his occasional series on vintage track maps, with their entertaining illustrations and lack of endless corporate sponsors, Harlo at The Chicane dug up one from the 1967 Tillamook Naval Air Station sports car races.
