* Despite the quest for factory-perfect restorations among Corvette guys these days, you still occasionally see a six-taillamp mid-year Corvette pop up here and there. Mac’s Motor City Garage this week examined the trend of six-taillamp mid-years and gave us a glimpse of how ubiquitous the modification was back in the day.
* Given the tit-for-tat games GM and Ford have played over the years, one would have expected Ford to introduce its own four/six-cylinder mid-engine coupe in the Eighties to compete against the Fiero.

* Finally, Peugeot’s military version of the Mercedes G-wagen, the P4, will soon face retirement from the French army, Ronan Glon at Ran When Parked reported this week.
