I gotta have one of these!

The Jaguar Aerodyne is a coach-built one-off design built on a Jaguar XK 140 chassis with a Jaguar XKE 3.8-Liter engine. This beautiful unique creation has the look and feel of a pre-war French classic like a Bugatti, Delage or Delahaye.

At the ripe age of 14, I saw this one-off 1966 Duesenberg prototype sell at the Parke-Bernet Galleries auction at the Museum of Transportation in Brookline, MA. Lot #18, to be precise, and it sold for $37,500. Still have the catalog!

David Grainger, co-founder of Bradford, Ontario's Guild of Automotive Restorers, wasn't sure what to do with Bugatti chassis #57104 when he first got his hands on it—until he heard about the legendary Aerolithe.

The Jean Bugatti-designed "Electron Coupe" -- so named because it was bodied in a magnesium alloy called "Electron" -- mysteriously disappeared shortly after its 1935 debut at the Paris Salon.

That mystique made it the perfect candidate for an exacting five-year-long recreation performed using only period-correct materials and methods.

Thanks to the Guild of Automotive Restorers for access to this incredible machine.

During the early and mid sixties, Mopars featured this unique control setup for automatic transmissions. They were knicknamed "Typewriter" for their keyboard-like action. Unfortunately, too many distracted moms left the cars running while junior pushed the buttons!

Use this to send me LRC emails from production.
