1937 Ford Yellowstone Park Tour Bus by Bender – 2017 RM Hershey Curio

February 19, 2019, 3 pmSeptember 28, 2017, 4 pm by Tom Burkart

Nothing beats a ragtop vintage tourbus for kitsch appeal! Sentimentality galore imagining so many thousands of happy families exploring the US National Park System for the first time. Yellowstone was the first park to be designated — and is enormous to behold. Great to have such roomy seating, big windows and of course that open roof. Open to big blue skies all day and starry heavens at night. And the doors! The entire passenger side of the bus opens with quadruple limo exits. The delightfully Art Deco touches of this bus’s design are what make it a real showstopper. Here’s …

2017 Mansory GRONOS 6×6 G-Wagen

February 19, 2019, 3 pmAugust 24, 2017, 7 pm by Tom Burkart

The Mansory Gronos G-Class goes right into the “Because.. Of Course” folder. The design upgrades are fairly deep with an all-new face and fresh rear bumper as well. Much more modern than the factory G-CLass. But nothing compares with the raw curb appeal. A truck whose fenders are at eye level needs little upgrade. And of course, this 6×6 version is an even more capable forebearer to the trendy 4×4-squared. WIth an extra locking diff there is a big traction advantage in the 6×6. Its external pickup bed is also a favorite feature among its Falcon-loving owners. Here are three …

2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty 6.7L Platinum – Road Test Review w/ Videos

February 19, 2019, 3 pmJuly 31, 2017, 3 pm by Tom Burkart

Where to start? Super Duty is stronger than before, yes. But you are not prepared for how much stronger it is. Ford quotes the strength of the (high-strength steel) boxed ladder frame as being 20X more rigid than before. 2000 percent! Ford added hundreds of pounds to this frame to blow away its rivals in max towing. All bodywork and the bed of the truck make the swap to aluminum for 2017 at the same time. So if the new frame added 300 pounds, the alloy bodywork subtracts 700 from the total. All in all, the new F-250 is a full …

2017 Nissan ARMADA Platinum – Road Test Review – By Tim Esterdahl

February 19, 2019, 3 pmMarch 21, 2017, 7 am by Tim Esterdahl

In a segment long dominated by the Chevy Tahoe and the GMC Yukon, the 2017 Nissan Armada arrives to take them both head on. With a huge interior and plenty of horsepower under the hood along with a very unique style, it is bold challenger, yet does it truly measure up? Yes and it might just surprise many large SUV buyers. Fresh off a one-year hiatus, the 2017 Armada is back with new looks, improved V8 and loads of safety and security tech. It continues Nissan’s push to be more than a low-budget volume seller and instead be a major …

2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 4×4 at Amelia Island Concours [45 Photos]

February 19, 2019, 3 pmMarch 14, 2017, 12 pm by Tom Burkart

Ever wanted a truck that was so outrageous it might stop traffic dead on sight? Welcome to the G-Class 4×4-squared. This G550 4×4 even upstages the G65 parked right beside it. This “normal” twin-turbo V12 G-wagen looks like a child’s toy parked next to the 4×4! The G65 and this G550 are actually priced pretty similarly. The 4×4 comes in G550 and G63 variants, with this G550 coming in at about $220k. The G65 is just a few thousand more and will be MUCH quicker. But not nearly as outlandish. 2017 Mercedes-Benz G550 4×4 You May Also Like:1938 …
