* The image above, of the 1965 Honda RA272, isn’t all that striking – especially after the nice images of it under the bright lights that we recently saw – but the sound of that 1495cc 48-valve transverse mid-mounted V-12, as pointed out this week by MotorsportRetro.com, well, that makes up entirely for such a static image.



* The recent mention of the trucks of the Alaska Highway grabbed the ears of many a reader here, so let’s see them in action building the highway.



* Our own Jen Sandquist recently came across this 1961 Plymouth Valiant commercial, which we all found notable for the fact that it was shot in and around our hometown of Bennington, Vermont.



* Finally, the tale of drag racing legend and Hemmings Muscle Machines contributing columnist Shirley Muldowney, as told in the 1983 film “Heart Like a Wheel.”
