The Nissan Bluebird Is A Little Beast

Saying that a car is able to get under one’s skin sounds like an exaggeration, but Nissan enthusiast Troy Ermish has more than a little appreciation for the 510. Ermish says that his love for the model comes down to one similarity between him and his cars: they’re tough.

These Chevrolet Impalas Are A Lifelong Obsession
“How can you spend 12 hours out there and work on those things all day?” Don Rogers’ wife will sometimes ask, to which he replies, “The day just flew by…I don’t know what happened.”With a love for the iconic Chevrolet Impala, Rogers’ garage is filled with two, both ’64 models. One is a hardtop, the other a convertible. What makes Rogers a bit different from most enthusiasts, however, is that he does all of the work on his cars himself.

The Howmet TX: Rethink Everything
What sounds like a fighter jet and is faster than a Ferrari? Ladies and gentlemen, meet the incredible Howmet TX, an experimental race car that is the only turbine-powered car to actually win a race. Built by a talented team of engineers in 1968 using little time and just $10,000, the first Howmet was very much a moon shot.

Shelby-Powered Tiger Leads This Euro Rally Lineup
As a kid growing up near Detroit, Mr. Hans Abrahams was surrounded by American muscle cars. His father, however, hailed from Britain and introduced young Hans to the world of 1960s European Rally Championships. Hans’s cars now include a Canadian-built 1967 Volvo 123 GT, a 1966 Sunbeam Tiger Mark I-A, and a 1965 MG B, and when he cranks the ignition on these cars, you’ll abandon just about every notion you have about staid Volvo family-haulers and dowdy British sports cars.

Man, you guys keep knock in’ it outa’ the park with the videos!
Featuring Troy and his 510s once again brings the focus on the scrappy, hands on side of car culture that’s not about prestige but about the connections. Not only between man and machine, but also within the community. Troy’s been respected in the Datsun community for quite a while now and it’s amazing to me to see the continued love of these unstoppable little cars 43 years after seeing the BRE cars at “The Glen” 2.5 Trans Am Challenge. Nice job everybody!

Wow, Bluebird! That’s a car I never thought would see here in the US. When I was a kid back in Japan, I thought those cars were just lame, like today’s Camry and Corolla, never paid any attention to them. Except for the SSS. Even then I knew that was something special.
