F1’s Newcomer Has a Surprisingly Rich Grand Prix History
Aston Martin’s Formula 1 history isn’t particularly well known, mostly because the British carmaker withdrew from top-class single-seater racing in 1960, only to achieve tremendous success in sports car and endurance racing instead.

For whatever reason, having one usually-broken work truck wasn’t enough for me, so I went out and got another. This time, though, it’s bigger and even a little older than my 1966 Ford F600. My new prized possession is a ’63 International Loadstar 1800 with a 16-foot bed and patina […]

I Decoded the History Behind My 1966 Ford F600
I did my 1966 Ford F600 dirty when I called it “a hodgepodge of Blue Oval trucks” a few weeks back. In reality, the 300-cubic-inch inline-six that I thought was a transplant actually came with the ton-and-a-half rig from the factory, turning my argument to mush. I’m okay with that, […]
