Elegance reins at the 27th Cavallino Classic
New England in wintertime has always been synonymous with frigid temperatures, heaps of snow and hibernating classic cars that are eagerly awaiting warmer temperatures, and this year was no exception. Luckily there was an alternative, as the Cavallino Classic 27 formed a welcome reprieve to those seeker milder climates and automotive beauty in Palm Beach. Since 1992 the Cavallino Classic partnered with the equally iconic The Breakers hotel. Surrounded by oceanfront mansions,
Gentlemen, start your engines! NASCAR's Hall of Fame review.
Nothing says USA more than apple pie, baseball or NASCAR. The association, founded in 1948 by Bill France Sr, held its first races on the beach of Daytona on a 3.2 mile lap and has since been a staple of Americana. Gentlemen, start your engines! I feel compelled to state that, while I have always loved cars and lived in the United States for over 15 years, I have never been a true fan of the National Association of Stock Car Racing, better known as NASCAR. As a European, I am
Wings and Wheels: DC's other Air & Space Museum
My earliest recollection of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum dates back to my first trip to the United States. I must have been about 8 or 9 years old when my parents did a stop over in Washington DC to visit the White House, the US Capitol, the Pentagon, the FBI Hoover Building, Arlington National Cemetery and the Smithsonian museums. Back in the days there were no visitation restrictions yet, and one of my vivid recollections was the military tour guide insid
Two Pennsylvania car museums that pleasantly surprise.
In the automotive museum world, Philadelphia is for many synonymous with the famed collection of Dr. Frederick Simeone; however, a few miles out, two other outstanding museums are also worth visiting in Pennsylvania. About 45-minutes north of Philadelphia, the America on wheels Museum sits unassumingly on the outskirts of Allentown. I arrived a few minutes after opening time on a quiet Saturday morning and rush inside to escape the arctic cold front that has kept the entire E
2019 Aston Martin Vantage debuts at the New England Auto Show.
Now in it's sixth decade, the New England Auto Show has for several years successfully found its home at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. For the 2018 edition, visitors can sit in and explore over new 500 vehicles, or even take some of the cars for a spin. The show, which only occupies half of the convention floor, is perhaps better compared with a cross brand dealership, whereby one can shop in the convenience of a single location, and if that is what you are loo
Winter wonderland
The forecast showed two weeks of arctic weather; two weeks of temperatures colder than your household freezer with windchills that reached up to minus 30 Celsius. Welcome to New England's 2018 winter season start. Boston's first snow of the season typically arrives around the end of December, and final snow flurries can occur deep into March, or April, or May or June: one never really knows. However, unlike in some other parts of the world, snowstorms around Boston are swiftl
