Four-Links – Shelby’s Dodges, McCahill’s tomorrow cars, electric Pontiac, Larz Anderson Museum grand opening
* It might be a stretch to call the Shelby-ized Dodge Lancer a BMW fighter and to claim that Carroll Shelby and Dodge created the front-wheel-drive tuner car phenomenon, but we’re at least glad that Dodge this week recognized Shelby’s contribution to that brand’s performance products during the 1980s. (via)
* Another cars-of-the-future story from a vintage magazine, this time it’s ol’ Tom McCahill himself prognosticating, but he at least interviewed some folks to come away with a more realistic idea of what to expect from future cars, circa 1947.
* Discovery recently profiled some students at Roanoke College who are currently converting a 1939 Pontiac into an electric vehicle.
* The Old Motor this week brought us some photos and memorabilia from the 1949 grand opening of the Larz Anderson Museum in Brookline, Massachusetts.
* Finally, Retronaut compiled several Jeep ads from 1946 showing a) how Willys worked hard to synonymize themselves with the Jeep brand, and b) how Willys positioned the Jeep for civilian duties.
