The ’69 Chrysler Newport has always been a favourite of mine amongst American muscle cars, it came with either a standard 383 cubic inch V8 or the optional 440 cubic inch V8 and had one of the coolest sets of flip-into-the-grill-headlights ever seen on a production car.
“Carlsson på taket” is Swedish for “Carlsson on the roof”, Erik was so famous for flipping his Saab rally cars that the moniker became permanent in his home country.
The Bugatti Royale was designed and built by Ettore Bugatti with the sole purpose of being sold exclusively to royalty, unfortunately it was produced at the time of the onset of The Great Depression and as a result only 6 of the planned 25 cars were made, none of which were sold to royals.
Depth of Speed is a 10 episode web-series that focusses on small-scale motorcycle and car builders across the USA, it’s been produced in conjunction with HypeBeast. This is episode 1 and it features the team from the Pangea Speed garage in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Easily one of the greatest car films of all time, Bullitt featuring Steve McQueen has become one of the standout celluloid icons of the late 60s. This picture was taken during filming and, I think, it sums up the film rather well. Hell, it sums up McQueens entire career rather well.
Swiss coachbuilder Worblaufen was responsible for some truly remarkable auto designs between 1929 and 1958. The Bugatti Type 57 pictured above and below is a…
70’s and early 80’s police cars made an indelible impression on my mind as a kid, every movie worth watching featured boxy American cop cars chasing boxy American baddies.
This is Don Yenko racing his 1961 Corvette, I don’t have any further information on the picture sadly. When I first found it I spent a quarter of an hour staring at it and admiring the aerodynamic effect the rain water and wind created as they pass over the hood and windshield. It’s beautiful.
This is the original 1968 brochure for the now infamous Holden Monaro. The Australian muscle car became sacred-poster-material on every Australian boy’s bedroom wall, it saw production from 1968 till 1977 and was then revived in 2001 till 2005.
