This was a slow week in auto history.
A not so small feat was the formation of the Little Motor Car Co on 10/30/1911 – The Little was an automobile built in Flint, Michigan by the Little Motor Car Company from 1912-15. The Little first was available as a two-seater with a four-cylinder 20 hp engine, and had a wheelbase of 7 ft 7 in (2,310 mm) . In 1914 a 3.6 L six-cylinder L-head engine was available in a later model that had a larger chassis. This was phased out in 1915 as it was too close in size and price to the Chevrolet Six. Durant merged the Little Company and Chevrolet in 1913, gave the Chevrolet name to the Little car and moved manufacturing from the Detroit plant to Flint.
The Little was merged into Chevy in 1913.
On Nov 1, 1955 Studebaker debuted the “Hawk”. – Hawk came in the Power, Sky, Golden, Flight in it’s first production year 1956. Want to talk rare cars? How about the Flight Hawk in the K7 body type – only 560 produced. The Power Hawk numbered 7,095; Sky Hawks 3,050 and the Golding Hawk came in at 4,071.

The Drive By is new way to spotlight cars. As the name states these are cars that I see where ever I’m traveling.
The 1966 Barracuda wasn’t much when compared to the 1970’s younger brothers.
1966 Barracuda – old school.
Often referred to as the Formula S – 2 door coupe fastback with the V8. I don’t know if this one was the V8, I would have had to see the if it was badged properly to determine. (Small medallion placed below the ‘Barracuda’ script. The V8 would have been the Commando 273 CID with a two barrel carb – about 235 hp and a 10.5:1 compression when topped with a 4bbl Carter AFB.. The 6 cylinder was the Valaint Signet slant 225 CID with about 145 hp with a single barrel carb. They came in convertible as well – only 2570 of those were produced.

One of our favorite things to do is to road trip and one of my favorite things when we road trip is to take picture of any all interesting cars.
While traveling in northern Arizona we ran across this unique display of old trucks, just outside the Dewey-Humboldt.
Enjoy the pics.
There were a lot of trucks lining this ridge.
