Among the wonders you will find if you visit the Peruvian Amazon during your Peru vacation is a creature that seems like it belongs inside a magical legend alongside fire-breathing dragons and winged fairies. It’s a creature known locally as Bufeo Colorado, and it’s the largest freshwater cetacean on Earth: the Pink River Dolphin!

This Rolls-Royce 40/50 was nicknamed ‘Ladybird’ by its original owner, Lady Flora Eaton of Toronto. One of three Rolls-Royces delivered to her in 1913 (the other two –’Yellowbird’ and ‘Bluebird’ – were open touring cars) Ladybird was rare for its closed body, built by Barker of London, which not only shielded passengers from the Canadian weather, but evoked the wealth of the Eaton family and their Canadian department store dynasty. Less than one percent of the Canadian population owned an automobile in 1913, and a vehicle as luxurious as Ladybird would have been an impressive sight for pedestrians. Ladybird stood…
This unrestored 1952 Touring Superleggera-bodied Alfa 1900 Corto Gara was driven by Franco Cortese in the 1952 Mille Miglia. The Corto Gara, chassis 01047, is one of a smaller number of special competition cars that were prepared by the factory for the 1952 race. The car participated in the retrospective Mille Miglia in 1984, 1989, 1990, 1995, and 1997. It has also participated in numerous California Milles and has been a frequent participant in the Monterey Historic Races. The Corto Gara cars had highly tuned 4-cylinder, 1884 cc engines with Weber carburetors and stiffer suspensions. Their interiors were a spartan…
There wasn’t much change for the 1933 Auburn except an upscale Salon trim line was added. The 1933 Auburn was one of the most affordable and dependable automobiles on the road. This car is powered by a 268.6 cubic-inch Lycoming engine that boasted a whopping 100 horsepower and featured standard free wheeling. There is a two-speed rear differential, chrome wire wheels and a rumble seat. (The Lycoming engine plant was part of the Cord business empire.) In 1932, the Depression had taken its toll on the company, as less than half of the Auburns produced were sold. The unsold 1932…
The superb 2300cc engine is the handiwork of Vittorio Jano, who joined Alfa Romeo from Fiat in 1923. The straight eight-cylinder design uses two identical four-cylinder blocks, with a dry sump oiling system. The two-piece crankshaft rides on ten bearings and has camshaft and supercharger drives located mid-block. It produces 142 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and feeds a four-speed gearbox. There are large finned drum brakes at each corner. The cliché ‘larger than life’ is one way to describe this aerodynamically beautiful Viotti Coupe. It was originally built as a Touring bodied 8C 2300 Long Chassis sports racer to compete…

A husky 325 horsepower, 401 cubic-inch overhead V-8 engine provides the power. Price from the factory was $3,961,…
Now virtually synonymous with the Lincoln marque, the legendary Continental started out as a personal, custom-bodied one-off “special Lincoln-Zephyr” commissioned by Lincoln boss Edsel Ford. Styled by Ford designer Bob Gregorie on the existing V-12 Zephyr chassis, the new Continental was delivered to Mr. Ford on 1 March 1939 and would go on to become a design legend in its own time. Due to the attention and acclaim the prototype received, a production version was planned. Just a year after the prototype was first approved, the Lincoln Continental first became available to the public in 1940. 1940 Lincoln Continental Cabriolet…
If you think NASA has more information about UFOs than they are letting on, then you are not alone. In fact, you are part of the majority. The US space agency and other space agencies are hiding information about alien spacecraft. This idea shows up, and has for years, in internet forums, social media, TV shows, memes, and movies. Almost as interesting as any special secret is why it is kept secret. And for the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life, the answers run the gamut: they would cause too much peace, they would create too much chaos, they would give…
The Cochno Stone, found in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, is believed to contain the best example of Bronze Age cup and ring carvings in Europe, with hundreds of grooved spirals, carved indentations, geometric designs, and puzzling patterns of various types. The Cochno Stone was first documented in 1887 by the Rev. James Harvey. 78 years later, the stone was reburied in 1965 to protect it against vandalism. The Rev. James Harvey found the 42ft by 26ft stone in 1887, on fields near what is now the Faifley housing complex on the outskirts of Clydebank. It has around 90 carved indentations known…
