DED Jr, founder of Automobile Magazine and longtime Editor of Car and Driver, died at 80 this past March. The July 2011 issue of Automobile- now on your newsstand - has his last extensive interview. In the early 1950s, David sold VWs, Porsches, Triumphs, MGs, Jaguars and Singers. On page 101, descri...

You all should have been there. Bill Howerth came over to my house with a spare 4AD starter. The cool part is that he brought it over in his 1965 Shelby GT350. Didn't need the starter, as all my 1953 4AD needed was freeing the jammed starter by the nut on the back. Bill tells me that our little jewe...

"Ain't no stoppin' me now!" -Motown Singer The '53 4AD went 354 trouble-free miles this past weekend. From the Detroit area to Bill & Kim's sumptuous estate in Lowell, MI, to the Mad Dog & Englishmen event near Kalamazoo, then home. It didn't even use a full quart of Castrol 20/50....

A local enthusiast was directed to me recently, as he had recently imported a Singer from the UK. He will be unable to join us for Mad Dogs this weekend, but I've given him the "hard sell" on connecting with our group. It's a 1968 Gazelle sedan with 60k original miles. The owner has keen i...

My 1959 VW bus returning to Put-in-Bay Island. I promise the 4AD will be there next year.

See you all at Mad Dogs!

On Monday, June 28, I was lucky to attend the opening day of the 2010 PIB reunion of cars and road racers from the SCCA races held on South Bass Island from 1952-1959 & 1963. In addition to the period correct sports cars and interesting old guys, the event host a gathering of three HRGs. For per...

Let me start with the fact that I have not removed the working sender in the fuel tank of my 1953 4AD. That said, I've had good luck repairing sending un its in both air- and water-cooled Volkswagen applications, by replacing the float media. In a gasoline powered Dasher wagon, I pulled the sending ...

That's no mystery. That's me. Notice my initials on the badge bar. I cut up a 1967 Michigan liscense plate. This picture was taken at the regular Saturday morning "coffee & cars" gathering at The Auto Zone in Birmingham, Michigan on May 15. Keith Price, aka Motown Singer Ferndale, Mich...

I'll be there with the '53 4AD.

Looking forward to seeing you agaon, Bill!

Philip,

Sorry that Bill & I didn't grab any shots of the Singer in mid-drift. We will, however, sent you some photos of the car and some publication-worthy words to share with the faithful.

The February 2010 issue arrived today. My '53 4AD and a couple of vintage Singer advertisements appear on the top of page 16, in a regular section entitled, "In Your Garage."

A little Singer publicity can't hurt.

Happy Holidays to all our new Singer friends. Some Singer specific shout-outs: Phillip Avis: Thanks for sending badge # 78. Like a new gym shoes, or a fresh haircut, it's going to take us awhile to get comfortable with something so shiny! Bill Howerth: My local best new Singer friend. I left a note ...

The weather cooperated yesterday, so I snapped some pictures to share.
