Our family Duesy goes to a new home.

Our 1923 Duesy after a 30-mile romp through the countryside, alongside a visiting 1948 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 SS.

Yeah, a studio shot but the exact year and color combo of my 1986 Taurus MT-5 bought new that year. How many of you know what "MT-5" meant?!

I fell in love with Aston Martins after the Bond flicks of the 1960s, seeing the real deal at the 1965 New York World's Fair, then joining the AMOC late seventies in pursuit of my own noble steed. A visit with a Toronto friend mid 1980s led me to a fabulous 1959 DB4 Series 1, # DB4/134/L to be precise. It served as our wedding carriage and all around higher education into the realm of "proper" motor cars. What a ride!

Wedding day, September something-or-other 1988. The three brides maids flanked by my 1959 Aston Martin and 1966 Jaguar XK-E.

The Riley nearing completion. Our family's garage in Andover circa 1977.

That's me with Dad late 1950s at 77 Main St. Andover, MA. Our 1923 Duesenberg had just got the full "rennovation" as Dad would call it but as you can see it remained a work in progress.

Before driving age I sewed my oats with this 1966 Case lawn tractor. Did we need one? Of course not, but what a blast.

In the fall of 1983 I purchased a 1966 Jaguar XK-E roadster from a doctor in Lynnfield, MA. I worked at DEC in Tewksbury, MA at the time. Despite crapping compression she ran like crazy but I couldn't leave enough alone so out came the motor. Yours truly on the right.

Chryslers from the sixties and seventies road like nothing else. Torsion bar suspension assured firm and precise handling. I purchased this 1969 300 440 TNT convertible at the RM Hershey auction in 2007. Gorgeous bronze metallic and matching original interior and original black top. These marked the era of "fuselage" styling. What lacked in chrome and excess was more than compensated with sheer mass. Go big or go home!

Hey, check out a video short I made using Magisto. Not perfect but it's a start! Featured car is a 1930 Duesenberg Indy Car.

My trusty 1971 Dodge Coronet wagon. Three-on-the-tree and 225 slant six. Pic around 1978.

Another shot of my 1971 Dodge Coronet, ca 1978.

Here I am with our family's 1950 2-1/2 litre Riley around 1978. Freshly repainted in Ditzler acrylic lacquer, a new top, and freshened up interior. Dad bought her new in 1950 and it was my first ride—as a newborn arriving home from the hospital.

Another shot of the Riley, overlooking Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, MA. 1978.

1994 Mercedes E500. Purchased from the original owner 2006. Immaculate and went like a scalded cat. These super sedans were co-developed with Porsche by shoveling a five-litre 4-cam V8 into the E-class chassis.

Toronto friend Oliver Collins pays a visit to the Killorins and drives his first prewar car, our 1923 Duesy! Scared ya shitless, eh Ollie?

Long before I came on the scene my father owned this fabulous 1928 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 supercharged fixed head coupe, body by Touring. Allegedly purchsed new by a member of Mussolini family. Sadly, chassis and body were separated during the 1980s but the original coupe body survives on another grand touring chassis. The original chassis was cut down into a grand sport replica.

My first car (like this one) thanks to a loan co-signed by my parents, a 1977 VW Rabbit in "Panama Brown," but more like orange. Mine was second hand purchased around 1979 and little did I know at the time that the 77 Rabbit was the best year for all around driveability. She served me well until replaced by a 1986 Ford Taurus MT5. Bet you don't know what MT5 signified?!

Very few can claim familiarity with this interior. Anyone, anyone? A few clues: It was a market sensation and only a few came with stick.

November 10 and it's a clear, dry, and sunny 65-deg day in Vermont, and the Duesy is firing on all eight!

My 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 purchased at Hershey 2010. 427 date-coded 1963 (swapped from the stock 390). More speeding tickets than I care to remember so off she went to a new home. What a ride!
