Drivetime With Vinnie Richichi-Road Test:2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco
CBS Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH (93-7 The Fan) – The name of the game these days in family cars is simply mileage.  That is what the average consumer who is car shopping for transportation is looking for. Safety and style come a bit later on the list but as gasoline nears that five buck a gallon mark, 450 miles on a tank of regular looks awful attractive. Chevy has heard the masses and in addition to the compact and popular Cruze ECO they now introduce the Malibu ECO. Like the Cruze,  good mileage, lots of technology and an attractive package make the Malibu a must look at if you are in the family sedan market!

UAW Marks A Defining Event:The Reuther Beating
CBS Detroit

DEARBORN — (WWJ) The United Auto Workers Union commemorated the 75th anniversary of the famous “Battle of the Overpass” Friday outside the Ford Rouge complex. Union leaders unfurled a banner reading “Working from a dark past to build a brighter future”that will hang from the overpass where on May 26, 1937, Walter Reuther and others were beaten by Ford security as they worked to organize workers at the plant. While the photos from that beating shocked the world, it still took four more years before Ford officially recognized the union. “Once we got organized, people started realizing that the union means a great deal for a lot of people,” said retiree Fred Watts, who worked at the Rouge plant for 37 years. Watts and several dozen other UAW members and representatives were on hand for the commemoration. “That was the beginning of the organizing of Ford,” said UAW Local 600 President Bernie Ricke. “How far we’ve come since then.” That was obvious from the mid-day ceremony.

Reed Brothers Dodge History 1915 – 2012

This 1928 Dodge Brothers Standard Six was a vehicle from Reed Brothers private collection of automobiles. It fell into the hands of Lee Gartner over 40 years ago from an upper Montgomery County, Maryland used car dealer at the price of $100.00. In dealer ownership for over forty years, this vintage car was restored and maintained over the years by Reed Brothers Body Shop and Service Department. The history of the Dodge Brothers marque began in 1914. During their first year they introduced the ‘Old Betsy’ known for its reliability and durability. A total of 249 examples were created during the company’s first year. The name ‘Dodge Brothers’ was used from 1914 through 1927. In 1928 it was acquired by the Chrysler Corporation and its name was changed to ‘Dodge’. The Standard Six carried an $835 factory price and was powered by a 6-cylinder; L-head engine rated at 27.34 hp. The fully restored 1928 Dodge was proudly displayed on the showroom floor,

Careful Wishes
Life & Lessons of Car Magazines

Another great statement from Peter Egan‘s Side Glances column, this one, courtesy of Road & Track magazine, 5/93 issue. “We have to be careful what we wish for here. We don’t really want to live in any economy in which a good Ferrari costs less than a minivan. It might be symptomatic of larger problems.” I wonder if Mr. Egan has any idea how right he was. 80′s Ferraris, such as the 308/328 series used in Magnum P.I can be picked up off eBay for less than a fully-loaded Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna!!! Larger problems are here indeed, Mr. Egan! A Ferrari 328 GTS in Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
