I enthusiastically approve, but maybe they should have considered renaming it like SIXTY YEARS AGO
I mean in reality it should have been renamed A HUNDRED AND SIXTY YEARS ago, but apparently they felt naming a high school after the founder of the KKK was a super dandy idea in NINETEEN FUCKING FIFTY NINE
personally I salute how Sioux City, Iowa named its public high schools: East, West, and North.
*There is also South Sioux City HS across the river in South Sioux City, Nebraska

The problem with that bobcat body slam video: unreasonable expectations by women who think they deserve a man who will body slam a bobcat for them, and men who think they deserve a woman worth body slamming a bobcat for
I mean I've protected my wife from a few rodents and garter snakes and flying insects, but whether she crosses the bobcat threshold remains a strictly empirical question
I will say this: if a bobcat ever attacks my wife in the driveway, I will spring into action of some sort

I get this Q all the time, and the answer is you can; just not from a dealer show room. There are plenty of independent shops who can rebuild a 53 Pontiac or whatever with all the modern conveniences, even as EVs.
And the reason car manufacturers don't do it is because it would be 100% illegal, crash safety regulation wise. Same reason most all Detroit retro designs are ultimately disappointing (at best).
I dig Jaguar's C-type / D-type / XKSS continuations. They had unused 1950s VINs for the originals, which (in the UK anyway) allowed them to make brand new replicas. Don't expect A/C & GPS, and if you have to ask the price you can't afford it.

How's this for a barn (OK, container) find? After 35 years in storage, 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder chassis # 0069 (nice). Hat tip to my pal @oldcrowspeed who found the 550 and is seen here bringing it out of its tomb into the sunlight.
btw for you non-car people, the Porsche 550 Spyder is (sadly) best known as James Dean's "Little Bastard" death car. Dean's 550 was VIN 550-0055, built 14 cars ahead on the Stuttgart assembly line. Image
oddly enough James Dean died in 1955, in a Porsche 550, serial #550-0055.

I guess you could say that James Dean.... can't drive 55.

I'll show myself out now

Today's Hill Country garage crawl featured a pair of Deuces... ImageImageImageImage
first one is a box stock, AACA class winner 1932 Ford Model B roadster; second is same thing after applying some genuine old-timey 1950s hot rodding techniques.

Then a pair of 6s... ImageImageImageImage
First one is a 1936 Ford 3 window coupe, second a 1936 5 window coupe. First motor is an early Olds Rocket with a vintage 6x2 drag race intake, second is to trigger the dopes who think small block Chevys don't belong in hot rods.

Also, how about a pair of 9s? ImageImage
