HAPPY NEW YEAR
… To all our readers, subscribers and advertisers! As 2019 rolls into town, one can’t help wondering what it will mean for the American car community here in the UK and elsewhere. The good news is crude oil prices are at an all-time low, which should have translated into a 17p drop at the pumps, but has actually only translated into a 9p drop*… Funny how that works when it’s that way round: a drop in crude prices never seems to be accurately reflected; however, a rise is usually reflected immediately and in full on forecourts overnight! More challenging for UK-based businesses bringing in American vehicles and parts is the continuing slide of the pound against the dollar. It’s a situation which is out of their hands and which can only result in higher prices. Lucky for us then, that relatively speaking – compared to modern European or Japanese cars’ spares – those spares, service parts and even the vehicles themselves are such good value for money. God Bless America!
This issue we salute the cars which took part in last year’s Car of the Year competition; some you may already have seen in previous issues, such as Diego Presenza’s 1963 Ford Falcon and the actual winning car, Gary Sanders’ 1957 Dodge Custom Royal. In a way it’s a fantastic reflection of what Car of the Year and the magazine itself is all about: reflecting the diversity, excellence and excitement of American cars of every era and type, something we’ll aim to keep on doing on these pages in the coming year! *BBC Today Programme 03.01.19

BARGAINS APLENTY News AT HISTORICS’ LATEST AUCTION Classic American
Mercedes Benz World, near Weybridge, is an ideal location for auctions, with both ground and upper floors of the stylish showroom building providing well-lit and warm surroundings for automotive classics during inclement weather. There’s plenty of hardstanding outside for the overflow as well. Historics at Brooklands clearly agrees with this, as it returned to the venue for its most recent auction. With viewing on the preceding two days, the November 24 sale day was another resounding success, with 137 varied classics going under the hammer, resulting in a creditable 62% sale rate on the day. Of these, just five were American cars this time around, and of this modest selection, only two sold. Furthermore, of this pair, one was offered at no reserve. Taking these alphabetically, it was the smart 2001 Cadillac Seville STS, in a deep metallic red, that sold at no reserve. A rare right-hand-drive model with just 52,000 miles on its Northstar V8, it was originally a Vauxhall Motors demonstrator, before passing to a single private owner, a retired doctor, who clearly

A tidy black-painted 1967 Chevrolet El Camino, benefiting from a new 350cu in ‘crate’ engine, overhauled two-speed Powerglide auto transmission and a disc brake conversion, was estimated at £16,000-£20,000. The interior was clean and looked original and the rear pick-up was also in good overall condition, evidently having had money spent on its welfare. Nevertheless, it did not reach its reserve. The same can be said for the immaculate 1967 Chevrolet Camaro. As a rare right-handdrive Australian import, it had been meticulously restored by an enthusiastic owner since its importation in 2000, during which it received the necessary parts Clean interior. and trim to create an SS clone.

Bidding was spirited, but ultimately came up slightly short of the seller’s reserve price. Perhaps another day? The next auction will see a return to the Ascot Racecourse on March 2.

CADILLAC INTRODUCES NEW ‘HALO’ MODEL
Classic American
News It’s hard to believe that it was back in 2004 when the very first Cadillac CTS-V super sedan appeared. Now GM’s luxury brand is celebrating 15 years of the V-Series line with two special 2019 Pedestal Edition models, the ATS-V coupe and CTS-V sedan. Special features of these cars include unique exterior Bronze Sand Metallic paint, with Black Chrome exterior trim, V-Series alloy wheels finished in what GM calls ‘After Midnight’ and red painted Brembo brake calipers. The Carbon Fibre package is also standard on both the ATS-V coupe and CTS-V sedan Pedestal Editions.

CHEVY OFFERS COLORADO SPECIAL EDITIONS, ZR2 RACE PARTS Stateside, Chevrolet marked four years of Colorado mid-size pick-up sales with the introduction of two special editions, catering to opposite ends of the market. The first is the street-focused RST, which is based on the LT trim level and sports a monochromatic exterior with black body and belt side mouldings, plus a set of satin black 20-inch wheels (a first for Colorado). The second is the off-road oriented Z71 Trail Runner, which features the ZR2’s front and mid underbody aluminium skid plates, functional rocker panel protection and 17-inch Duratrac tyres. Additionally, capitalising on the success of the Hall Racing ZR2 Colorado in the Best in Desert off-road racing series, Chevy Performance is now offering a selection of 15 factory race suspension and driveline upgrades to allow customers to further enhance the capabilities of their own ZR2 rigs. Since the current Colorado was introduced back in October 2014, it has sold more than 428,000 units in the US, clearly indicating that the market for mid-size pick-ups is strong, despite opinions to the contrary.

BONDURANT DRIVING SCHOOL FILES BANKRUPTCY In October 2018, the iconic Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, located in Chandler, Arizona, filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the US bankruptcy court. An official statement from the school said the bankruptcy filing was the first step of a restructuring plan being implemented and although the business had closed its doors, this was seen as a temporary measure – pending the installation of a new management team and securing new investment. The Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, which opened in 1968, is one of the most iconic driving schools in the world and it would be a sad day if we no longer got to experience the thrill of squealing tyres and opposite lock.
According to Hagerty, the hottest classic vehicles Stateside right now are the 1966-77 Ford Bronco, the 1973-87 Chevy C/K Series pick-ups, their Suburban and Blazer derivatives, plus full-size cars such as the 1971-73 Buick Riviera, 1993-1996 Cadillac Fleetwood and 1990-97 Lincoln Town Car. Demand for classic pick-ups and SUVs has been gaining ground for the last few years and no doubt anticipation for the new 2020 Bronco is also fuelling demand for classic first-generation vehicles. Chevy C/K pick-ups from the Seventies and early Eighties were produced in huge numbers and are still a common sight on North American roads, plus excellent parts support makes them a popular classic to restore and modify. And it seems that having languished in the doldrums for decades, full-size traditional American cars are finally gaining ground, likely because you don’t have anything equivalent to them on the lot these days.

MYSTERY AMERICANS IN LONDON
Should you ever be catching a train into London Bridge, make sure you keep a close eye on the view to the left just after you pass through New Cross, because there’s a sight there to rival Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and all the rest. Perched on the roof of a trackside scrapyard, two-and-a-half American classics keep vigil over the south-east London neighbourhood. That the cars – a 1939 Buick, a c1978 Oldsmobile police car (California Highway Patrol, according to its insignia) and the front half of a 1957 Cadillac – are all American and have been selected for display would
suggest that they may have been saved from breaking or scrap by an enthusiast, though it looks unlikely that they will ever feel the Queen’s highway beneath their tyres again. There didn’t appear to be many vehicles in the yard beside its aged sentries, and with no signage outside it’s difficult to ascertain exactly what the cars are doing there. Perhaps a sympathetic saviour recognised that they were too good to scrap, but too far gone for an economical restoration. If any readers know the story of these cars, or know the owner, we would be grateful to hear from you. ZS Rusty ol’ Buick.

Legendary customiser Sam Foose dies aged 84…
Sam Foose 1934-2018
Born in 1934, Sam Foose was a self-taught master welder, painter and panel beater. Mechanical skills came equally easy to Sam, as did pencil drawing, design work and, later, air brushing. When the family moved back to Arizona around 1948 Sam elected to stay behind in Santa Barbara, living in a friend’s garage and working on cars to bring in enough money to survive. Here he learned those skills he became so renowned for. Foose spent several years in the early to mid-1960s constructing fullsize replica custom cars of 1/25 plastic kits for the model company AMT, working alongside another legendary customiser Gene Winfield. He then moved to Minicars, building safety car prototypes funded by the government - which lead to great improvements in air bags, crumple zones and pedestrian safety. Later he worked on car accident repairs for insurance companies. However, Sam spent his hours outside work designing and building hot rods and customs, he later set up his own shop, Project Designs, in Santa Barbara, California. Foose’s devotion to his craft was legendary and he would regularly work 100 hours a week, his wife Terry often bringing food and their children to his shop so they could all eat dinner together.
One of his best known builds was the green 1949 Ford coupe he built alongside designer Harry Bradley and fabricator Donn Lowe for owner Jack Barnard. The car skillfully mixed traditional customising techniques such as the sectioned body and chopped roof with an overall contemporary feel. Foose was also celebrated for the 1956 Lincoln Continental MkII he built for Goodguys founder Gary Meador. Yet, Foose’s personal cars were often even wilder, one of the most outlandish being his heavily modified DeTomaso Pantera ‘Dia Cosa 200’ that he restyled into a roadster heavily inspired by the 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo concept car. His career was an inspiration to son Chip, who would follow in his footsteps, helping Sam from an early age and designing and building a wealth of his own custom cars and hot rods. “He taught me that trendy design dates faster than bellbottoms on a hippie,” said Chip recently, “good design is timeless. If it was something we had never done before he’d say ‘if someone else can do it, we can too.” Sam also lead the team to secretly rebuild Chip’s personal 1956 Ford F100 pickup on the television show Overhaulin’. Sam Foose died of cancer on November 27, 2018. MR

Goodwood thunder Anyone attending the 77th Goodwood Members’ Meeting at the famous Sussex venue will be treated to the sight of more than a dozen genuine NASCAR machines
fired up and providing an awesome glimpse into this popular US motorsport. NASCAR machines have been seen at Goodwood events many times in the past, but this will be the
first time they will have taken to the track in anger and it should be a sight to behold. The Goodwood Members’ Meeting takes place over the weekend of April 6-7. Unfortunately, the Members’ Meetings are just that and limited to members of the Goodwood Road Racing Club and members of the Goodwood Fellowship, details of which can be found at www.goodwood. com. We’ll just have to hope we can get someone along to Goodwood that weekend to grab some pics for Classic American.
MOTORAMA!
Meanwhile, on the same weekend as Goodwood Members’ Meeting, a large contingent of British hot rods and customs will be hitting the ferry ports en route to the Netherlands for the Flatlands Motorama, an indoor show for traditional hot rods and customs presented by the Dutch Ford Brothers, and the UK’s Lead Room. With a strong emphasis on kool kustoms, entries have already been selected and drawn from all over mainland Europe as well as the UK and should represent the cream of the crop of traditionally styled rides. As well as the lucky ones that are displaying inside the large Autotron venue at Rosmalen,

there will be a large outdoor display area, and many UK hot rodders are heading over to take part in this and also for the party. Sounds good to us, and we may very well join them! More info at www.flatlandsmotorama.com
A new event for 2019 but a little way off yet, the Vintage Hot Rod Association’s first VHRA Swap Meet will take place on Sunday, September 22. Held in association with the Ford Model A Club, and the Early Ford V8 Club, this new swap meet will be held at the Ramsey 1940s Camp, Ramsey, near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The event will be open to all, and there will be a show area for pre-1963 vehicles, plus a used car corral for those wishing to move on a motor, or even buy one. The site is open from Saturday afternoon with camping, some entertainment, and a bar in the evening, meaning you can make a weekend of it. Prices for the various options and booking forms are available at www.vhra.co.uk
WAITING FOR A DATE
Some time last year we heard about another proposed beach racing event, the Golden Mile Beach Races at Saunton Sands, North Devon. Back in November last year we were provisionally invited to attend a promo film shoot event for the races, but unfortunately it was cancelled at the last minute due to bad weather. We hear that another shoot date will be arranged in early 2019 and are looking forward to maybe getting along to find out more. We’ll bring you more news as soon as we hear it.

From

obscurity
Checker Centurion
Richard Heseltine uncovers another remarkable creation from the annals of American car design, this time a very upscale Checker that hit the car show circuit in the late Sixties: Behold the Checker Centurion!
T
hese days, if you step into a taxi cab in New York, chances are it will be a minivan or, worse still, a Toyota Prius. Scroll back half a century and Kalamazoo’s own Checker ruled the roost. And how. This marque did make cars for public consumption, but overwhelmingly it sold them for use as taxis or hotel/airport shuttles. What they lacked in style, they more than made up for in rugged reliability. There simply was no need to perform endless makeovers. Checkers never went out of style because they were never in style. All of which begs the question: why did Turin design house Ghia build this car, the Checker Centurion? Ghia had enjoyed a near two decadeslong relationship with two of Detroit’s Big Three, not least as a subcontractor on the many Chrysler ‘Dream Cars’ and also Crown Imperial limousines. It also constructed a batch of 50 turbine-powered prototypes on Chrysler’s behalf, while also working officially and unofficially on various Cadillacs, many for royalty and tin-pot dictators. However, the firm faced a major crisis in 1963, when its hot-tempered, but dedicated principal Luigi Segre died unexpectedly. Ghia was then sold to Rafael Trujillo, the much-despised son of the
recently ousted Dominican Republic despot Leonidas Ramades Trujillo. The new keeper had little interest in coachbuilding and he ‘sold’ the business in 1967 to Argentinian émigré Alejandro de Tomaso. Trujillo Jr found himself on the wrong side of the law and in need of bail money in a hurry. A lot of it. De Tomaso sensed an opportunity and obliged, with backing from the American conglomerate Rowan Industries. It was against this backdrop that de Tomaso purportedly did a deal with Checker to build a prototype based on an A-12-E chassis, the extended version of the usual taxi chassis with a 129-inch wheelbase. The great Giorgetto Giugiaro was tasked with shaping it, but ‘Il Maestro’ fell out with de Tomaso and the design was subcontracted to American-born artiste Tom Tjaarda instead. The likeable design legend discussed the car with Hemmings Classic Car in 2008, and recalled: “I had no design brief. Giugiaro just said that it was a Checker cab. Funny thing is, he had difficulty pronouncing the name ‘Checker’ and it came out ‘cake-care’… Knowing de Tomaso, I can say that he would not just go out and select a dumb chassis, like the Checker, and do up a huge cab to showcase his new Ghia company to the automotive world.’
However, historians from the Checker Car Club of America say otherwise, and claim they have been unable to find any evidence to suggest the prototype was commissioned by Checker directly. In the Hemmings article, Tjaarda conceded that he did not speak with anyone from Checker during the five-month build. The car broke cover in 1968 and toured the show circuit, and it generated plenty of ink in the media, even if it was no beauty. The 327cu in Chevy V8-engined prototype wasn’t on the basic side, either. In the back there was a drinks cabinet with crystal decanter and glasses along with a telephone, 12in television and other luxury items that screamed limousine rather than taxi cab. Construction of the Checker Centurion reputedly cost $125,000, and following its appearance at the 1969 New York Auto Show, it was pressed into use by one of Rowan Industries’ board members who died in a plane crash a year later. It was in derelict condition around the mid-2000s, but has since been restored by a Checker enthusiast from Massachusetts. The mystery over who ordered construction of the Centurion will probably remain a mystery, however. ★
