When it comes to a weekend off-roader, I’m at a loss to think of anything cooler than a World War II era M3 Half-Track. The M3 pictured here is an original 1943 unit, it’s been fully restored and is now listed as being parade ready, but I say to hell with that. It’d be a sin to own this and not get it at least a little muddy.

The 1982 Indianapolis 500 was unique for a number of reasons, it was the first year that ground-effect cars were to race around the infamous circuit, the 1st and 2nd place finishers were separated by just 0.16 seconds, which was the closest finish in Indy 500 history up until this point.
This classic Carroll Shelby tee by Wicked Quick is 100% designed and made in the USA, each one is printed on US Slub Cotton (that’s a lightweight, summer friendly type of cotton). The logo design is reminiscent of late 19th century graphic design, which we love, and the light colours and materials make it a perfect Saturday t-shirt for the summer months.
Vanson Leathers and Iron & Resin are two companies with a lot in common. They’re both American through and through, they both spend a lot of time working with leather and they both do everything by hand, in the USA.
The Plymouth Barracuda, often just referred to as the “Cuda” or in this case, the Hemi Cuda, is a muscle car that was built by Plymouth between 1964 and 1974.
Randy Grubb is almost certainly the best aluminium fabricator you’ll find anywhere in the Western Hemisphere, his work with 4, 3 and 2 wheeled vehicles using the bauxite based metal is legendary and after taking a look at his newest creation, I can’t help but think of him as a bit of an artist.
