Final-year AMC AMX remains in a longtime AMC enthusiast's hands. In September 1970, I took delivery of my new 1971 Hornet SC/360. What a car! Somehow, the clutch had failed that fall, and while it was being repaired, the dealer, Zantello Ramber in Allegan, Mich., gave me a new 1970 AMX to drive. Wow! Another exciting car! When the Hornet was ready to go, he called and asked about the AMX. I wanted it! I did the necessary paperwork and kept the car. Based on my past practices of buying and selling cars almost monthly, he asked, "And how long do you think you'll keep this car?" My immediate response was, "Forever!" |

Direct From Detroit, guests of the 2024 Carlisle Ford Nationals can see a rarer-than-rare concept that's seldom showcased, the 1963 Mustang II concept car. Carlisle, PA – The Mustang is considered one of the most iconic Muscle Cars of all time, and annually at the Carlisle Ford Nationals, thousands of them are showcased on the National Parts Depot Showfield. For 2024, not only will Ford Nationals weekend (May 31-June 2) celebrate 50 years of Carlisle Events, but it'll also be showcasing 60 years of the Mustang. As such, guests can expect a variety of Mustang-themed displays, including a timeline display tent showcasing one Mustang from each year of production, a 50th gallery of some of the top Mustang II's ever produced, another Mustang gallery highlighting some of the Mustangs of all time, and just announced, joining that display will be a very special '63 concept that's rarely shown at events. The concept in question is the 1963 Mustang II Concept and it's coming directly to Carlisle by way of the Detroit Historical Society, its home since 1975. Before it got there and to Carlisle for that matter, it was an inspiration and showpiece for Ford and Ford lovers alike. |

After 40 years Cadillac Parts and Restoration's (CPR) restoration facility not only offers a walk back in time to the 1950s & 1960s but also provides plenty of beautiful classic Cadillacs in all phases of restoration. Poughkeepsie, NY – It was humble beginnings from which the world's leading classic Cadillac restorer was formed. In 1984, out of a spare room in a 1744 Hudson Valley farmhouse recently purchased and under restoration, Elsa Mauer Nicodemus began a small mail-order business, F.E.N. Enterprises, selling correct Cadillac upholstery and old Cadillac parts. Working hard to maintain a work-family balance between her new enterprise, her established career as an in-demand production pattern maker in the garment industry while raising three young children, the parts business grew and soon flourished. With a strong entrepreneurial spirit and seeing the demand and needs of many classic Cadillac owners, Mauer Nicodemus decided to add restoration services to her successful parts business and by the end of 1989 had a pole barn constructed to handle both. Thus began a saga that would eventually lead to an international reputation as a world-renowned provider of Cadillac restoration and preservation services. |
