evidence that corporate car manufacturing either had a lot of 3 martini lunches, or there secretly was a lot of pot smoked in the bathrooms during work breaks... blue and purple cars? big and little back window options? (and paisley vinyl mod tops!)

Delaware and Hudson Canal Company railcar #10 "Comet" built in 1882, designed for the company’s famous Gravity Railroad, which transported anthracite coal and passengers over the Moosic Mountains between Carbondale and Honesdale, Pennsylvania

Built in early 1882 along side her sister coach #9 "Eclipse", but the Comet was one of the few "smoking cars".

When service ended in 1899 the car was taken up to its current location by draw horses, becoming a small ski factory for a time, then afterwards, a painters studio

the 94 Mercury Sable AIV (Aluminum-Intensive Vehicle) was about 400 pounds lighter than a Taurus SHO, with the same power train, and without rust

The AIV Sable went all-in on aluminum, reinventing the unibody. Most of its steel body panels were replaced with aluminum, and many suspension components followed suit.

Multimatic Motorsports (Ford's exclusive racing partner) entered an aluminum-bodied Sable AIV in the 1995 One Lap of America endurance event, and finished first in class (Mid-Price class) and 15th overall, ahead of far more exotic machinery, like the Cobra Mustangs, Corvette ZR-1s, and even RUF Porsches. The win validated the platform’s stiffness, reliability, and real-world performance advantages.

you know who deserves a father of the year award? Mark Coletti's dad. He let his son pilot the family Barracuda to a NHRA Eliminator title, defeating the Smothers Brothers '69 Olds to win in F/SA and he got to kiss the trophy girl. Yep, father of the year, because Mark was only 17 yrs old
