From the Hemmings Nation Flickr pool – Unimog, Winnie Hogg, Scout prototype and two red Chevrolets

Maine Unimog, by Bluejacket

It doesn’t take much to get me fired up. For instance, seeing this Unimog rescue vehicle that Hemmings Nation Flickr pool member Bluejacket recently posted, that’ll have me bouncing in my seat like a third-grader for the rest of the afternoon. From the tags, it looks like he spotted the ‘Mog in Castine, Maine.

Winnie Hogg Chrysler

Hugo90, besides posting scans of very unusual foreign car brochures, posted this photo from about 1982, when the owner of Winnie Hogg Dodge died, leaving these older Mopars to go up for auction. Should probably investigate that location for our Lost Dealerships series.

IH Scout prototype

Does this 1979 Scout prototype look familiar? If you’re a longtime blog reader, it should – Litwin spotted it last year at the ACD Museum, and now we see that papafiesta spotted it there too.

Impala and Nova

Finally, new Hemmings Nation Flickr pool member sheribuch711 posted some photos of the family’s new 1971 Nova, here posed next to their 1962 Impala. Much like a ‘Mog, posting pics of a 1971 Nova will almost always grab my attention.

Four-Links – Crawford museum selling off cars, how to sell a Rebel Machine, old Daytona 500 footage, build threads galore

1919 Locomobile

* We start off this week with news that the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum has announced that they’ll be selling off about 20 cars from its collection, including a 1956 Mercedes-Benz 300SL gullwing coupe and the above 1919 Locomobile Type 48 Sportif. The museum’s website says it’s normal to sell off items that are determined to be non-essential to the collection if they are either duplicates or not mission-related, but the Cleveland Plain-Dealer notes that the sale is to keep the museum financially solvent and to erase some debt.

AMC sales training video

* I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like to be an AMC salesman back around 1970. You’re trying to sell exciting performance cars like the Rebel Machine to younger buyers, and you’re instructed to sell it by one of the most droll sales training slideshows I’ve ever seen. Then again, what sales training slideshow was ever not droll? (via)

shirtsleeves at the Daytona 500

* Though it’s not the entire video, reader Marc Tyler uncovered some snippets of a Florida film archive video on the Daytona 500. The snippets, though, are still pretty neat. Gotta love the full dashboards and shirtsleeve driving exhibited in the in-car camera.

twin-turbo diesel Chevelle

* If you’ve spent enough time on Internet car forums, you’re probably well acquainted with the build thread, in which somebody posts photos of every step of his car’s restoration or build-up. For some forums, these are about the only reason worth visiting, and one guy has started pulling good build threads out of the car forums and posting them to his blog, saving us the hassle of slogging through all those forums.

from Airmighty

* Finally, another new-to-us blog, this one – AirMighty -all about the air-cooled Volkswagen in its many forms. Lots of show coverage, and thus, plenty of photos. Looks like he has a thing for the oddball variants and the slammed and modified ones. (via)
