I am a dealer that sells Little Guy Teardrop Trailers. This trade came in last week. It was stored in a barn in Julian California so it is truly a "Barn Find". The previous owners gave me all the service records from when the car was originally sold on 5/26/1962. These will be supplied with the car. They also gave me a box of miscellaneous parts that also come with the car. They told me that the car is original except that it has been upgraded to 12 volt. Besides that they said it is original and they would hate to see it chopped up. I am a TRAILER dealer not a vintage car dealer so I will try to describe it the best that I can. Feel free to call to get more specific info.

The miles read 87554 but I would have to think that has been turned over. The paint looks original and shows the patina on the hood. The car needs paint. All the chrome seems to be there but again for a restoration you would need to rechrome. This is a 1962. It needs paint.

There is no visible rust and underneath looks wonderful to me. The car starts every time and goes through all the gears like I would expect. Brakes seem fine. The people that traded it in had to drive it about 90 miles to bring it here. It drives fine. It does need paint.

I have not done anything to it (thanks to the Antique Road Show) no wax, nothing since I don't know what I would be doing and a restorer would want to see it the way it came out of the barn. It needs paint.

Glass looks to be the original German but again I am not a pro. It has California black plates. Feel free to call and ask anything.

I am selling it as a no reserve auction. Buyer will be responsible for transportation from San Diego. $1,000 deposit will be required within 4 days of winning the auction and full payment within 10 days. Because I am a dealer California buyer will be subject to Doc fees of $65 a $15 license transfer fee and tax based on where you live if you are a California resident. Also this car is ACTIVELY FOR SALE so we reserve the right to end the auction early if it is sold at the shop.

Feel free to call 858 229-0558 or e-mail at LittleGuyTrailers@sbcglobal.net or stop by and see it. 8148 Ronson Rd. Ste A, San Diego, CA

Volkswagen E-Co-Motion Concept brings electric mobility to the commercial set

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Volkswagen sees a future where the bulk of the world's freight is moved into city centers by train, then offloaded onto a fleet of smaller, light-duty commercial vehicles for final delivery. Those vehicles could wind up looking something like the company's E-Co-Motion Concept that debuted at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The EV features a modular underfloor drive unit comprised of a battery, motor and gearbox that can be paired with any number of cab and body configurations to suit a buyer's needs, from a refrigerated box to a standard flat bed.
The E-Co-Motion Concept features a rear-mounted electric motor with 113 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. A standard 20 kWh battery pack provides a driving range of up to 62 miles, while 30 kWh and 40 kWh packs could deliver 93 and 124 miles of travel, respectively. Check out the press release below for more information.

EVs still burning aboard ship carrying luxury cars near Azores

Tue, Feb 22 2022

LISBON — Heavy tug boats on Tuesday sprayed water on a burning ship carrying thousands of Porsches and Bentleys adrift off the coast of Portugal's Azores islands, the ship's manager said in a statement. The Felicity Ace, carrying around 4,000 vehicles including Porsches, Audis and Bentleys, some with lithium-ion batteries, caught fire on Wednesday last week. The 22 crew members on board were evacuated the same day. Ship manager Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd (MOL) said in a statement the vessel was still on fire but stable, and that no oil leak had been reported so far. It also said the ship was drifting further from the Azores islands in the Atlantic Ocean. Two large tug boats equipped with firefighting gear arrived from Gibraltar on Monday, and were working with another patrol boat to spray water at the Felicity Ace and cool it down, MOL said. The arrival of two other tug boats with more firefighting equipment is scheduled for Feb. 23 and Feb. 26. "Together with the all relevant parties, MOL is making every effort to contain the damage and resolve the situation as soon as possible," MOL said. Joao Mendes Cabecas, the captain of the nearest port on the Azorean island of Faial, said on Sunday the fire had lost its intensity, probably because there was little left to burn. Cabecas said as the fire subsides and the structure cools down, firefighting teams and technicians might be able to board the vessel to prepare to tow it either to Europe or the Bahamas. "When conditions are safe the salvage team will board the Felicity Ace for an initial assessment," MOL added. Cabecas told Reuters over the weekend the lithium-ion batteries in the electric vehicles were "keeping the fire alive." It was not clear whether the batteries had caused the fire. MOL did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the cause of the fire. Volkswagen, which owns the car brands, said on Monday it did not have any further information to share.

Honda wins Commercial of the Decade, but not for the ad you think [w/VIDEO]

Honda's Commercial of the Decade: "Grrr" - Click above to watch video
The mad men at Adweek recently voted for the Commercial of the Decade (Super Bowl commercials not included) and Honda took top honors over memorable ads from the last ten years by companies like Nike, Budweiser and Sony. That's not a big surprise considering Honda often puts a huge amount of effort into its on-air spots. However, the Japanese automaker didn't win for the commercial you might have expected: "Cog." Though Honda's famous commercial that breaks down a European Accord Tourer into a Rube Goldberg-esque machine was also a finalist, it was beaten by another Honda commercial called "Grrr" that's narrated by Garrison Keillor of all people. You've probably never seen it, but you can after the jump.
Volkswagen also made the list of finalists, but the particular ad chosen out of all the comical VW ads we've seen was unexpected as well. Most surprising carmaker with a commercial in the finals: Saturn. Who knew...
