Was struck in a sentimental way by this Dodge Dart with a 225 Slant Six engine. Can't imagine they came from the factory this clean. Had a 66 Dart with this engine after college graduation and then when a couple of years later had a 68 Barracuda in British Racing Green with the same engine. I recall that folks who had never seen one of these engines would peer under my hood and say: "The engine slants to the side." Yep, they would be correct.
This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.
