Classic Trucks of the 2019 Woodward Dream Cruise Cars are the stars of the 2019 Woodward Dream Cruise, which uses the famed boulevard north of Detroit to celebrate classic cars, muscle cars, powerful cars, quirky cars, modified cars, and generally much-beloved cars. But trucks and vans help make the world go around. Over the course of a week of watching vehicles cruise up and down Woodward Avenue, check out our gallery to see the classic trucks we find ourselves drawn to. Naturally we love the cars that pose as pickup trucks—those automotive mullets (business in the front, party in the back). There was a lovely red '57  Ford  Ranchero, a gorgeous seafoam green and white '59 Ford Ranchero, a baby-blue '60  Chevy  El Camino, and Torino-based Rancheros from the late '60s and early '70s. Some of the "real trucks" have gorgeous lines and paint schemes, like the Chevy 3100 in navy and dusty yellow. Conversely, some of the best patina is

Tesla-Fighting Porsche Taycan Goes the Distance in Endurance Test We've already received an  in-depth, passenger-seat preview  of the all-electric  Porsche  Taycan—and its performance earns the red-and-gold crest on its hood. But what about its daily usability? Battery range and charge times are barriers against electric vehicle adoption; "refueling" an electric car still just isn't as convenient. However, Porsche has been working to develop quick-recharge technology apace with its upcoming sports sedan EV, which was demonstrated in a 24-hour endurance test at Italy's famed Nardo high-speed test track. In a full day, the Taycan prototype covered a distance of 2,128.1 miles, with cruising speeds kept between 121 and 133 mph. Stops were only made for necessary recharging and driver changes. Porsche didn't elucidate on the number of stops needed or its charging strategy for the test, but suffice to say the car was kept off the cable and on the t

Best Classic Car Patina Seen at the 2019 Woodward Dream Cruise Although the dictionary describes patina as "a green or brown film on the surface of bronze or similar metals, produced by oxidation over a long period," MotorTrend sees it differently. Every August, during the annual Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise north of Detroit, MotorTrend describes patina as an awesome ode to  au naturel  classic cars and trucks and the people who appreciate them. Anyone who has worked on a car knows the paint job is painstaking and expensive. Some cars might not be worth it. In Michigan it's not hard to find early-model vehicles where oxidation has robbed them of color and left them basking in a form of their birthday suit. A good sealer can preserve that. But rust takes its toll on a lot of Midwest vehicles. One trend today is to take a vehicle with a body still in good shape and add a little faux patina using a chemical spray or maybe just a vinyl wrap depicting p

1994 McLaren F1 LM-Spec Fetches $19.8 Million at Auction ension was thick in the air as the  1994 McLaren F1  rolled onto the auction block in Monterey on Friday. Bidders and spectators alike wondered if the car would fetch the $21 million to $23 million that auction house RM Sotheby's estimated for the rare three-seater supercar. In the end, the hammer fell at $19.8 million including commission, which is still enough to set a new world record for most valuable  McLaren  F1 sold at auction. The McLaren F1 in question is one of just 64 road-going versions of the model made (the remainder of the 106 produced were prototypes or race cars) and also one of just two to be converted to Le Mans (LM) spec by   McLaren Special Operations . The car retained its fully trimmed interior despite the performance increases and is also fitted with the Extra High Downforce kit, uprated air conditioning, race-spec suspension, 18-inch GTR wheels, two extra radiators, and a transmission cooler, amon
