ALL CHANGE!

t was only a few weeks ago that I was writing my editorial for the April issue, and in it I mentioned that while it looked like some car shows would be cancelled, we would still be able to enjoy our cars in ‘splendid isolation’… how wrong I was, and how much has changed in just those few weeks. It almost feels like another lifetime! It’s pretty unclear when the rules about social distancing will be relaxed, although it would probably be pretty safe to assume that they won’t be before the end of the summer.

As such, we’ve taken the decision not to run our ‘blue pages’ events calendar from this issue as we can’t say with certainty which events will take place in 2020 and which won’t and, as a result, this year’s Car of the Year competition has been suspended. If, as some sources suggest, the current stringent measures continue into the autumn, I think we can safely say there will be no Car of the Year for 2020, which is a great pity; but without shows, we can’t have heats.

All is not lost, though; Classic American is here to entertain and inform you, and commissioned especially for this lockdown issue, we’ve pulled together our viewers’ guide to all the American automotive-themed TV V shows that are on TV now, as well as on YouTube and catch-up. Some you will have heard of, or even watched, others you won’t – and don’t forget, when you’re bored with TV V, there’s always the Classic American website, which has loads of galleries from car shows in the past, as well as news, features and other unique content.

These are undoubtedly difficult times for all of us, but with a ‘steady-as-she-goes’ attitude, we’ll all hopefully sail through this to the other side. Safe cruising!

News Four-door Bronco.

NEW BRONCO BREAKS COVER

Ford’s hot new SUV which resuscitates the much-loved and much-missed nameplate, Bronco, has been seen out and about as Ford released teaser images of the 4x4. Ford has promised that the Bronco won’t be some sort of soft-roading car-based, ‘me too’ SUV like so many on the market today, but will be a proper ranger-based 4x4, with solid front and rear axles and body-on-frame construction.

There are suggestions it will be available with a removable roll cage and could use an aluminium body, as the panels come from the same stamping plant as the F-150.

Pundits suggest that it may be powered

by Ford’s 2.3-litre, four-cylinder EcoBoost motor, that it should be good for 270bhp and 310ft-lb of torque and will be built at Ford’s Michigan plant.

A good read from Mortons Books

CAR OF THE YEAR ON HOLD

2020

Due to the current Government restrictions on social gatherings, it would appear that pretty much all car shows in the near future are either being rescheduled or cancelled altogether.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Car of the Year has been postponed until the situation becomes clearer. Classic American has also taken the decision to suspend its ‘Blue pages’ events calendar, as it is impossible to ascertain which events will be going ahead and which won’t.

Mortons books cover all sorts of topics but specialise in the following, including these forthcoming titles:

Car plants to build ventilators

GM and Ford to build ventilators and medical equipment.

US president Donald Trump wants automakers to work with healthcare providers to build ventilators in some of their shut-down automotive factories. Recently, President Trump spoke out against automakers, as he called upon them to produce ventilators that are needed for critically ill patients fighting Covid-19 around the country. Trump suggested that he could invoke the Defense Protection Act (used during wartime to shift production from domestic goods to weapons, tanks and aircraft, as during the Second World War), to force the automakers to move more quickly.

The president has been urged by many Democrats to invoke the act, which would give him the power to expand industrial production of key materials or products for national security. Trump called on GM to “immediately open their stupidly abandoned Lordstown plant in Ohio, or some other plant”, saying that the automaker “needed to start making ventilators now!” In the same tweet, Trump said: “Ford, get going on ventilators, fast.” The tweet also noted that “they” said they were going to provide 40,000 ventilators “very quickly,” and now

they’re saying it will only be 6000 by late April, “and they want top dollar”. It’s unclear who “they” refers to, presumably the president means General Motors.

GM has announced that it will work with Ventex Life Systems, starting to deliver as early as next month. Ford has stated that it’s moving as fast as possible to get ready for ventilator manufacturing efforts. Ford issued a statement that said it was “pulling out all the stops” to provide the ventilators for patients, first responders and healthcare workers. Ford says it has a team working “flat out” with GE Healthcare to boost production of the simplified ventilator it mentioned before.

American automakers aren’t alone in working with healthcare companies to produce ventilators; Toyota has announced that it was “finalising agreements” to begin working with two companies to provide ventilators and respirators.

The challenge now is getting the ventilators built, and in the hands of healthcare providers quickly enough – the governor of New York has said that they need the ventilators in weeks, not months.

E10 coming in 2021?

A new blend of standard regular unleaded containing 10% ethanol is being proposed by the Government as part of legislation designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and combat climate change. This type of fuel is widely recognised as being incompatible with older internal combustion engines, as it can degrade fuel pipes, leading to fuel leaks, as well as possible damage which can be caused by bioethanol’s corrosive properties which can lead to damaged seals, rubbers, plastics and metals within the engine.

The ethanol extracts the oils in rubber, causing rubber hoses and seals to become stiff and crack, and attracts moisture from the air, creating rust. Metal fuel lines and iron fuel tanks will corrode faster, especially if the vehicle is standing still for a long time, causing rust particles in the fuel filter and possible fuel leaks. The good news?

Ethanol-free fuel is available in the UK (with the exception of Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area and Scotland) with Esso’s premium Synergy Supreme +.

News Auction Report

HISTORICS Royal Ascot, Berkshire March 7

Words and photography: Richard Coney American cars have been thin on the ground at recent auctions held by Historics at Brooklands. Such was not the case on March 7 when they returned to Royal Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire for their annual sale at this prestigious venue. No less than 16 American cars were consigned, 17 if you include the 1940 International Harvester tractor.

Furthermore, despite the looming threat of Covid-19, bidders seemed enthusiastic, as the majority of models found new homes.

With such a plethora of desirable cars, we’ll start alphabetically. There were two Cadillacs on offer. A baseline 1965 Calais in a regal dark blue, originating from Toronto and in reasonable condition, was estimated at between £9000 and £12,000. It sold, but at a bargain £6792, including buyer’s commission. The second Caddy, a fully loaded metallic green 2001 Seville STS with no reserve, could only achieve £2830. ❯❯

Of the six Chevrolets, all but one sold.

There were two red 3100 half-ton pick-ups, both approaching museum quality. The 1950 version sold for £23,206 against an estimate of £28k-£32k and its 1954 sibling changed hands for £22,960, just exceeding its £18k-£22k estimate. The attractive two-tone silver and black 1956 Chevy Bel Air four-door hardtop was a 2019 import from Texas, estimated at £18k-£22k and replete with a small-block V8, auto and a tired red velour interior. It sold in a post-auction deal for a reasonable £14,500.

Corvettes make regular Historics appearances.

The very tidy 1972 C3 Stingray ‘Targa-top’ coupe, in Sunburst Orange, sold mid-estimate at £25,200, due, perhaps, to its 454cu in V8 and manual gearbox. Someone bought a beast!

Curiously, an unusual Chevy Corvair Monza four-seat convertible in unmarked red paint did not sell. Very original, with an immaculate 164cu in flat-six motor, the estimate of £16k-£20k did not seem excessive, but the reserve proved too high for bidders.

The last Chevy, a flawless 1970 SS 454, LS6 El Camino, was one of the stars of the show. Rare and beautiful in gleaming black with white bonnet stripes, its bench seat was comfortable and it had an unmarked pickup bed. Estimated at between £28,000 and £38,000 it exceeded that easily, achieving £42,560 when the hammer fell. Clearly bidders appreciated its condition!

There were two ‘old timers’ auctioned that day. An unusual 1923 Durant Runabout Star Four Tourer would have competed directly with Chevrolet in the Twenties. Looking much like a Ford Model A, its estimate of £18,000 to £23,000 could not be reached and with bids well short of its reserve, it remained unsold.

The recently imported and very clean 1924 Ford Model T Fordor fared better. Decked out as a police car, with a more affordable estimate of between £8000 and £11,000, it changed hands at £8490. ❯❯

Plymouth Prowler. ’Cuda.

Someone could see its appeal as a promotional vehicle. This could also be the destiny of the imposing 1941 Ford flathead V8-powered panel van. Built originally as a US Army ambulance, for reasons now lost, it was never delivered.

It resided in an Arizona barn for decades, explaining, no doubt, its rust-free body.

Imported in 2019, it will make a show-stopping promotional vehicle, or an unusual camper.

Estimated at £30k-£35k, it nevertheless sold for a more wallet-friendly £23,000.

Mustangs are perennial favourites, but despite this, a 1965 Fastback, described as a ‘GT350 Recreation’, with a 302cu in V8 and four-speed manual gearbox, had not sold at the November 2019 auction. It returned in March, with an estimate of £24,000 to £29,000. Initial bidding did not reach the reserve, but a subsequent deal saw it go for £21,000. Perhaps its alleged origin as a converted six-cylinder car had limited its

appeal, despite its modifications and condition.

Mopars were represented by an immaculate 1999 Plymouth Prowler, with matching trailer and 1304 miles on the odometer – which sold for £37,520, just under its lower estimate – and the two classic muscle cars featured in the news pages of the March issue of Classic American.

Bidding on the stunning 1970 Challenger SE RT440 6-pack, in ‘triple black’, was spirited, but insufficient to reach its lower estimate of £78,000. In contrast, after furious bidding, the understated 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda 440 six-pack did sell mid-estimate, for £73,580, justifying its museum quality appearance.

Finally, a rare right-hand-drive 2006 Hummer H2 found a new owner for £20,093, who acquired an enormous and relatively unused example of this modern classic for not a lot. And the tractor? With no reserve, it sold for £3360, which seemed fair for such a clean model.

The next sale is scheduled for Brooklands Museum on July 18, as Government-imposed restrictions have dictated the projected May auction cannot take place. Sad, but understandable under the circumstances. ★

Cars or commodities?

Evans looks at the impact of auction sales on the old car market stateside and whether classics are becoming simply another investment vehicle...

A

s I write this, the big auction season in Scottsdale has more or less wrapped up.

In America, the whole thing is televised live, but naturally it’s the weekend sales that bring the biggest attention, the biggest audiences and the biggest prices. These days it seems there’s a lot of emphasis on what a classic car or truck is worth and talk of “investment grade” collector cars stateside.

If you scan the classifieds over here, you’ll often find the seemingly best examples of a particular model tend to be earmarked for auction. The success of Barrett-Jackson and the big, televised auctions has changed the game in the last 15-20 years, which means that often the best cars get quickly snapped up and allocated for the auction block. Yet the classic car market is influenced by a whole range of factors and there are signs that demand for some models in particular, such as Hemi ’Cudas or Chevy Chevelle LS6s in particular, isn’t as robust as it once was.

Yet when you look at some of the ads out there, it seems even the lowliest Eighties sedan or pick-up is now worth $20,000. But, just because a particular car is touted as one owner, or one of one, or is significantly hyped before it crosses the auction block, it doesn’t mean it will sell for premium, if in fact it sells at all. The classic car market can be very fickle too – what’s hot one year, can often be less desirable the next. Which brings me to the real subject of this month’s column; when it comes to classics, should we view them as cars that we own, maintain and enjoy, or simply as appreciating assets in an investment portfolio?

Personally, I think that most of us got into

this hobby because we were mad about the cars themselves – a particular model or make that enticed us in our youth and was something we swore we’d own some day. We enjoy tinkering, restoring, improving and driving them. The idea of horse-trading classics simply to make money seemed like a strange and somehow very sterile concept for those of us who weren’t in the motor trade.

And when supposed enthusiasts get to that stage (that’s assuming you’re savvy enough to have an idea of what’s hot and what’s not), the concept of rolling a car out from under its plastic storage sheet and on to a trailer, to be rolled across the auction block and then to another storage facility and back under said sheet until it changes hands again, seems quite preposterous.

I also feel that doing such things essentially does the hobby and future generations a disservice.

Granted, there are some ultra-low mileage cars out there that deserve to be preserved in their factory wrappers – since they provide a fascinating window into how a particular model was actually assembled and finished from the factory – but these tend to be rare exceptions to the rule and most classics out there today have been restored at least once. And if something’s been restored once, twice, or even multiple times, I for one don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t be driven and enjoyed, because once it’s been restored, it can always be restored again.

Yet if these cars never see the light of day, never rumble down the road under their own power and the owners never give their children, their grandchildren or even people they meet, the chance to experience them up close via

driving them, maintaining them or enjoying them, chances are the hobby will just fade away.

There are many, many ways to make money and obtain appreciating assets, and while the increasing value of a classic American car or truck can be a nice side benefit, I for one believe it shouldn’t be the primary reason for owning one.

Most American iron from the glory days was built for mass consumption and built to be driven – whether it was cruising on the Eisenhower super slab, carving up Elkhart Lake or Laguna Seca, thrashing down the quarter-mile, or stop light to stop light on thoroughfares such as Van Nuys Boulevard and Woodward Avenue.

To buy and sell such mobile artefacts like tech or energy stocks simply defeats the purpose of actually having them. Memories surrounding classic cars were made by driving them and by fixing them, not by looking at value projection charts.

And I think in America today, where most regular vehicles have become exceedingly appliance-like and there’s talk of electric propelled autonomous vehicles littering the roads in the decades to come – there’s arguably never been a time since the creation of the motor car when owning, driving and maintaining a classic piece of Detroit automotive steel has been more satisfying or impactful. And as time goes by, I for one believe it will only become more so. I can’t help but hark back to Demolition Man, that sci-fi action flick made in 1993 but set in 2032. Cut to the chase scene where Sly Stallone pursues arch nemesis Wesley Snipes behind the wheel of a Matador Red 1970 Oldsmobile 4-4-2. In my mind, that scene resonates even more today than it did 27 years ago…

Huw Evans – news & views from North America

Richard Heseltine

From

here to

obscurity

DiDia 150

Bobby Darin and his dream car.

If you have no idea what the DiDia 150 is (see what we did there?!) Richard Heseltine is here to enlighten you on this thoroughly wonderful, thoroughly bonkers automotive creation!

I

t blurred the line between custom car and concept queen, and took seven years to complete. The DiDia 150 was among the wildest of road cars to emerge from Detroit during an era where Motown wasn’t exactly renowned for its subtlety. The car was the brainchild of a man who was variously a bus driver, machinist and self-styled fashion designer.

Andrew Di Dia was a young man in a hurry, keen to leave his mark, and he was already restyling cars for fun when he collaborated with his neighbour, Chrysler designer Edward V Francoise, on his dream car. That was in 1953…

Scroll forward to 1957, and Di Dia (his surname was two words, the car’s name only one) met future superstar Bobby Darin at a concert. The two got chatting about cars, and Darin made a few suggestions of his own. He then declared that should he ever ‘make it big’, he would buy the car that was already in the throes of creation. While equipped with a Cadillac drivetrain, the rest of the car was largely scratch-built. The body, for example, was hand-

formed over wooden bucks in true coachbuilding style and then gas-welded. No filler was used, if the press bumf from the period is to be believed.

Each tail fin, for example, amounted to 15 weeks’ work (the fins sat higher than the roofline). Up front, the retractable headlights were concealed behind thin metal slats, while the front and rear ‘floating’ bumpers were similarly custom-made.

The paint, a metallic shade of ruby red, was embedded with diamond dust to lend it that bit of extra sparkle. Each of the 30 coats were applied over a base coat of gold and then rubbed down by hand. Inside, each occupant had their own independent, thermostatically operated air-conditioning set-up, cigarette lighter and ashtray. There was also a rectangular steering wheel (a modified Imperial item) and a record player… The windscreen wipers were apparently rain-sensitive, deploying automatically when moisture was detected on the glass, while the tail-light clusters and indicators purportedly moved in line with steering inputs, but this may have been promotional flimflam.

Much of the car was built by Ron Clark and

Bob Kaiser of the Clarkaiser Custom Shop, the DiDia 150 being finally completed in 1960 at a cost of an eye-watering $93,647 (around $750,000 in new money). A year later, Darin borrowed the car to drive himself and his wife Sandra Dee to the Academy Awards. And, having made it big, the 20-something bought the car for $150,000. At a stroke it made it into the Guinness Book of Records as the most expensive car ever sold to a private individual. The car was subsequently renamed ‘The Bobby Darin Dream Car’, and retained by the singer/performer until 1970 when it was donated to the Museum of Transportation in Missouri.

It’s still there, appropriately displayed alongside another flight of fantasy from roughly the same era: a Chrysler turbine car. At some point, the DiDia’s 365cu in Cadillac V8 was replaced with a 427cu in Ford V8, the one-off show-stopper having been restored prior to making repeat appearances in several high-end concours events. Intriguingly, the car’s designer never penned another vehicle during his lifetime.

Andrew Di Dia died in 2014 aged 96. ★
