  FINS: FROM WITHOUT FUNCTION 

EXHIBIT AT THE PETERSEN MUSEUM 

Today fins are remembered as the outward expression of American automotive design prowess during the height of postwar optimism. But they were first used far earlier than most would imagine. This exhibit, opening February 23, will feature more than a dozen vehicles ranging from icons like the 1959 Cadillac and Exner-designed Chrysler to the impossibly Art Deco 1937 Delage Aerosport and wild 1952 Spohn Palos. Together, they speak to a period of automotive history during which the public craved chrome-laden dream machines and imagination was the stylist's only limit. 

Thanks to Steve Spatola for sending us the photos of the X-51 display at the Petersen Museum.

Ruby dragster estimated to bring up to $200,000 at auction

Courtesy Hemmings Daily - Photo courtesy Bonhams

Why exactly somebody crafted a scale model of one of the world's most famous dragsters out of ruby, we can only guess. After all, aren't there any yellow gems that would work well? Historical accuracy aside, it stands to become perhaps the world's most expensive gemstone-based model dragster (a bustling market, we're sure) later this year when it crosses the block in Los Angeles.

According to Bonhams, which will include the ruby dragster at its Gems, Minerals, and Lapidary Works of Art sale, designer Luis Alberto Quispe Aparici created the model with ruby for the panels; obsidian for the tires; gold vermeil for the engine, wheels and chassis components; and rock crystal for the windscreen.  

Quispe Aparici based the model on the Greer-Black-Prudhomme dragster, a car funded by Tommy Greer, powered by a Keith Black-built blown Chrysler 392 Hemi, built by Kent Fuller, and painted and shoed by legendary drag racer Don Prudhomme. Granted, it didn't always wear its signature yellow paint - when it debuted in June 1962, it was red and the team hadn't yet adorned its engine with that unique scoop - but with eight-second runs at 190 MPH and a win rate of about 90 percent over the next two years, did it really matter what color Prudhomme painted it?

Bonhams estimates that the 60-centimeter-long model will sell for $150,000 to $200,000 at the auction, which takes place May 21 to 22. The real Greer-Black-Prudhomme dragster, by the way, is currently owned by collector Bruce Meyer.

Auction will be held in Los Angeles May 21-22, 2013

1932 Ford Woody Wagon Street Rod from the Lynn Wardley Collection

Mecum Auction April 4-6, 2013 

  Hand-crafted Birdseye Maple was used in the making of this outstanding 1932 Ford Woody wagon, including the rear coachwork and its beautiful slatted ceiling beneath the padded roof. The luminous Yellow paint covering the car's sheet metal is also used inside on the custom dash and steering column, and again on the fuel tank, Ford 9-inch rear axle housing and rear brake drums, the latter contrasting with the staggered diameter Coys Black Chrome wheels, while chrome plating decorates the front and rear bumpers, dropped front axle and rear coil springs. Powered by a show-ready 350 CI Chevy small block V-8 fitted with headers and mated to an automatic transmission, this sharp Woody features a custom interior with White-faced gauges in a modified dash, a leather-wrapped banjo steering wheel, air conditioning, a hidden stereo system.

 Meanwhile over in Sonoma, California: 

 Marc Meadors driving the "Pure Hell2" '69 Camaro Pro Mod Meadors became the first converter-driven blown pro mod to break the 250 MPH barrier clicking off a 252mph blast. But there was more to come. Much more.

During eliminations, a classic semi-final race between #2 qualifier Mike Magio and #3 qualifier Marc Meadors netted the quickest-ever side by side Pro Mod drag race. Meadors' flamed Camaro got the win with a career best 5.759 @ 252.24mph to Maggio's 5.778 @ 256.60mph.

The final round pitted new record-holder Nickelson against Meadors but proved anticlimactic when a trans brake button failure led to Meadors' car leaving before the tree was activated, sending Nickelson and his red Viper down track soloing to a 6.912 @ 133.63 win.

While the red-light for Meadors and the Goodguys team was disappointing - the weekend overall was a huge success for the first outing of the year. "Nothing to hang our heads over," said Meadors following the event. "I'm so proud of Crew Chief Jason Bunker, Danny Miller, Billy Fereira and Greg Lee for making our Pure Hell2 Camaro the fastest converter driven blown Pro Mod in history. That right there made our weekend. To take down Maggio in that historic semi-final and run our career best ET and speed in the process - that's the kind of things you dream about. I've never been part of something like that before. It was the best moment in my racing career and without my great sponsors Goodguys Rod & Custom Association, Red Line Oil, Fiber Optic Supply, Tim McAmis Race Cars and DMPE none of it would have been possible."
