I found this site just as I was wondering if I could start one. There are about 25 cars registered there. Less than 1/2% is accounted for by that list. I haven’t checked my numbers yet to see if my car is on it.

There are photos, some background and production numbers, a nice sampling of the Eagle in general, and the Kammback in particular. Also a Jeep Commando.

Here’s the Eagle Kammback I’m working on right now…

Due to unforeseen circumstances(involving a young lady and an Infinity), Project MollyFloggin’ has been postponed, following satisfactory performance by Molly Blue in the 50 mph head-on collision test.

Molly Blue has been recovered to the Route 66 Rambler base facility for technical evaluation by the Engineering Services Department.

Seatbelt performed above expectations, for 34-year-old units sporting frayed edges. The collapsible steering column functioned as designed.

Pending further testing, the pilot appears to be functional at this time.

The other driver appeared to be OK as well.

I was just leafing through an issue of Horseless Age magazine from 1897, when I noticed things weren’t really all that different back then, from now.

For instance, don’t you really feel ripped off that the Year 2000 came and went, yet NO FLYING CARS? Well, back at the turn of the 20th Century, people were expecting the same thing… and guess what? NO FLYING CARS.

There’s some kind of lesson here, but I’m not sure what, exactly. Except the idea of “NextGen” ain’t exactly new.

Here’s the article I was reading. It’s kind of dry and technical in some parts(most parts), but it has cool pictures, and good eye candy always makes up for the rest, just ask Hollywood.

And if you know any of those hang glider guys that always claim they’re on the cutting edge, ask ‘em what these guys from the 1800’s are doing in these pictures…
