Hemmings Sunday Cinema – Vic Hickey Baja Olds, racing at Brooklands, Iso Grifo, Devil on Wheels

* It looks like an Oldsmobile Cutlass, but underneath it’s a Vic Hickey-built tube-frame mid-engine off-road monster, and Jay Leno got to drive it for the most recent episode of Jay Leno’s Garage.



* In the comments on our story about the pending Brooklands restoration, Gavin in the UK sent over this link to some mid-1930s racing action at the famed circuit.



* Petrolicious took the week off from releasing a new video, but there’s plenty of good stuff in their archives, such as this look at an Iso Grifo roaming the roads of Southern California.



* Preachy? Of course, but 1947′s Devil on Wheels also had street racing, fast youth, and plenty of cars to spot. And, with a release date of 1947, it’s also reportedly the first in the decade-long genre of movies about them crazy kids and their hot rods. Not to be confused with the biker chick flick She Devils on Wheels .
