On Sunday, August 17, the 1937 Chrysler Imperial Town Car once owned by Walter P. Chrysler will make its first post-restoration appearance at California's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
With enthusiastic owner Howard Kroplick by its side, along with restorer Steve Babinsky and renowned Classic car historian and Hemmings Classic Car columnist Walt Gosden, this one-off gem will be proudly be displayed on the lawn for all to admire.
As noted by Howard on www.vanderbiltcupraces.com, Walt has been documenting the car's rebirth during their regular visits to Automotive Restorations, Steve's shop in Lebanon, New Jersey. Walt's photos are quite comprehensive, and show the extensive and detailed work that has gone into bringing back the beauty that this one-off Chrysler once possessed.
For well over a year this historically significant Town Car has been undergoing an incredible ground-up restoration to exacting, factory-correct specifications. Upon its return from Pebble Beach, we will be photographing the car for an upcoming feature in Hemmings Classic Car magazine. Watch for it.
45 years with a Maserati: the story of John Baumler's award-winning Sebring
JohnBaumler's 1963 Maserati Sebring. Photos by author.
In 1969, while serving with the U.S. Army in Wiesbaden, West Germany, John Baumler was looking for "interesting transportation" when he purchased his 1963 Maserati Sebring. Forty-five years on, he still owns the car, which has racked up a mere 51,000 miles in the past few decades. Recently repainted to an impressive standard in his own garage with the help of friend Tom Hemmes, choosing this particular car as our second-favorite Maserati (behind the 1932 Maserati 4CS that also took Best in Show at Saturday's Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car Show) wasn't at all difficult.
By all accounts the Maserati Sebring is a rare car, with less than 350 Series I examples built between 1962 and 1965, when Modena switched to building the (even rarer) Series II. Though named for the storied racetrack in Florida (where Maserati captured victory in 1957 with a 450S driven by Jean Behra, Juan Manual Fangio and Stirling Moss), the Sebring was more grand-tourer than no-compromise sports car. One look at the car's largely unbolstered leather seats, or its burl walnut dash, or its chrome-trimmed Jaeger instrumentation, clearly shows that comfort and luxury were emphasized as strongly as performance.
That performance was delivered by a 3.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine, featuring a twin-plug head design and Lucas mechanical fuel injection (which Baumler describes as "very reliable," as long as the fuel pressure remains above 100 PSI). Output was rated at 235 horsepower, enough to deliver a top speed of 137 MPH and a quarter-mile time of roughly 16 seconds. That may not have been a match for a fuel-injected Corvette Sting Ray at the drag strip, but the Maserati would have been a far more pleasant choice to run at high speed for long stretches of Autostrada (or, in John's case, Autobahn).
Given the Sebring's understated good looks, it's no wonder why his love affair with the Maserati has lasted for nearly half a century. Time takes its toll on everything, and despite John's best efforts at regular maintenance and preservation, by 2010 the Sebring was in need of refinishing. Instead of farming the work out, John and Tom (a former aircraft painter) undertook the project on their own, stripping off layers of paint and the original polyester filler before getting down to bare metal. Straightening the hand-crafted body and making it symmetrical was a tedious, three-month process that required the pair to work with steel panels, aluminum alloy panels and lead filler. Once the prep work was done, John used an epoxy primer and tested several hues of paint before ultimately choosing a custom-blended metallic gray that has hints of rose in certain lighting. Though not a factory color, the paint certainly doesn't look out of place on the Sebring, and applying it was a 17-hour marathon that caused a fair amount of concern from John's wife in regards to the fumes created. The result of John and Tom's labors speaks for itself, and it's safe to say that even on the Sebring's day of manufacture, it couldn't have looked any better.
Looking to dress up the engine bay, John produced panels of engine-turned stainless steel to cover the firewall, radiator and inner fenders. With a background in avionics and communications systems, John ensured that the wiring was done to perfectionist standards, which explains why nothing is out of place in the engine bay or in the car's cabin. Not all work was done in house, however: Looking to dress up the car's alloy and steel wheels, yet improve the durability of the finish, John opted to send them out for powder coating. Instead of picking a single color, he chose to have the alloy outer portion of the wheels powder coated in a light metallic gray, which almost perfectly matches the car's finish. The inner steel portion of each was powder coated in a slightly deeper shade of gray; though subtle, the effect adds noticeably to the car's appearance and speaks to the thought that went into its refinishing.
Despite the attention lavished on the Sebring, it's no trailer queen, and John continues to drive the car a few thousand miles each year. Recent trips have included the Le Belle Macchine d'Europa meet at Pocano Raceway, where John and his car enjoyed lunchtime "exhibition laps" at triple-digit speeds. Even the trip from John's home in Lee Center, New York, to Saratoga Springs added a few hundred miles to the Maserati's odometer, but it's safe to assume that John (and Tom, who accompanied him to the Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car Show) enjoyed every mile of the journey.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1952 Tatra T600
Restoring a Tatra of any sort can be a daunting task, and we salute the restorer of this 1952 Tatra T600 for sale on Hemmings.com for taking on the task, even if he wasn't able to finish it. He made plenty of headway, completing most of the bodywork and the drivetrain rebuild. That's not to say that finishing off the restoration will be a cakewalk, however, but perhaps this project will prove a little less daunting for the next owner. From the seller's description:
Frame-off restoration started. Finished: engine, gearbox, brakes, new paint (dark green), new tires. Not finished: seats and upholstery, electrical wiring, windows, fenders (bent, need repair). Moving, unable to complete restoration.
Status: No Longer Available

After four decades of storage, Elvis's BMW 507 to undergo restoration
Photos courtesy BMW Classic.
Typically, a collector car gets its debut after its restoration, with a fresh polish on its new paint, plenty of shine on its chrome, and its provenance recorded in minute detail. However, the BMW 507 that BMW Classic recently put on display at the BMW Museum in Munich has neither of the former and too many questions about the latter, in part due to its association with Elvis Aaron Presley.
Built in September 1957 with Rudge wheels, a removable hardtop, a black interior and Feather White paint, the 507 – chassis number 70079 – originally served as a demonstrator car at that year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Following the show, BMW transferred 70079 to its press fleet, then after some time letting auto journalists drive it around, decided to send it racing with Hans Stuck, the famed Silver Arrow racer and Bergmeister, who reportedly won his class with it at a number of hillclimbs: in May 1958 at Rossfield, in July 1958 at Schauinsland, and in August at Ollon Villars in Switzerland. More importantly, Stuck, who at the time served as a sort of celebrity liaison for BMW, was tasked to show the 507 off to dealers and potential high-profile clients like King Baudouin of Belgium and King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley.
Presley, then 23 and already a music and film star, had found himself stationed in Germany while serving in the Army. He already had used a Volkswagen Beetle to get around, but reportedly wanted something faster, something like a Porsche 550 Spyder. His eye, however, turned toward the Goertz-designed, aluminum-bodied 507 roadster that Stuck showed him at the track in Montlhéry.
Perhaps it was the fact that Porsche couldn't build a 550 in time enough for Presley. Perhaps he was swayed by the racing history of Stuck's 507, which BMW had refurbished with a new windshield, new four-speed transmission, and an overhauled 150-hp, 3.2-liter aluminum V-8 after loaning it out to a German film studio for use in Hula-Hopp Conny. Whatever the reason, Presley took possession of the 507 in December 1958, when Miss Hessen, Uschi Siebert, presented him the keys to the car in Frankfurt.
But here's where the story gets fuzzy. According to BMW and BMW magazine Bimmer, which dug into the history of the 507 in its June 2009 issue, Presley bought 70079 that day for $3,750 – one heck of a deal, considering that brand-new, the 507 cost more than $7,000. Elvis fans and historians, however, contend that Presley misunderstood the contract – written in German – that he signed with the dealer, Autohaus Wirth in Frankfurt: Instead of agreeing to purchase 70079, he apparently agreed to lease it and return it to BMW, or possibly Glöckler, upon his exit from the Army.
And then there's the matter of the repaint. Presley reportedly got fed up with fräulein leaving their names and numbers on the flanks of the BMW in lipstick. Or he liked the shade of red lipstick that somebody left on his car. Some believe that Presley actually owned two 507s while in Germany – a white one and then a red one – but Bimmer and many other sources note that Presley had 70079 repainted in red, a theory supported by the fact that photos of Presley during his service in Germany show him driving a white 507 with U.S. Armed Forces plate A-1499 in 1958, a white 507 with plate G-1620 in 1959, and then a red 507 with plate G-1620 later that year.
Some Elvis fans also speculate that Presley or BMW had 70079 repainted white, only for it to be again repainted red in later years. All that anybody seems to know is that nobody really knows what happened to the 507 when Presley left the Army and returned to the United States. Bimmer, quoting BMW historian Karlheinz Lange, noted that BMW records show that the company did not take possession of the car after Presley used it in Germany, and that no records or photographs show Presley importing it to the United States and using it here after he returned.
For decades, many believed that the white BMW 507 that he gifted Ursula Andress after the two finished filming Fun in Acalpulco in 1963 was the 507 he used in Germany, and Barrett-Jackson in 1997 even sold that particular 507 (for $350,000) as having belonged to Elvis, but its chassis number – 70192 – could never be definitively tied to ownership by any celebrity other than Andress (and later, George Barris). That car later sold at an RM auction for $1,072,500.
Meanwhile, according to Bimmer, 70097 ended up in New York City sometime between 1959 and 1962, when Birmingham, Alabama, radio personality Tommy Charles bought it, having been told that Elvis owned the car. Charles decided to drag race it, swapping out its BMW drivetrain with a supercharged Chevrolet V-8, Borg-Warner four-speed transmission, and Chevrolet rear axle.
Along with the Alabama plates still with the 507, it also displays a dealer sticker from Foreign Car Center of Birmingham, Alabama, and still harbors a brace of Stewart-Warner gauges in a custom plywood dashboard, along with a custom red interior, all likely from its dragstrip era. Yet it also displays a 1967 windshield sticker from Williams Air Force Base in Mesa, Arizona, likely from the car's time spent with its next owner, Lloyd Cottle.
Cottle's time with the 507 must have been brief; collector Jack Castor bought the 507 from Cottle in 1968 and drove it – by then with an unsupercharged small-block – back to California, where he kept it on the street for another several years before deciding to restore it.
Castor didn't get to the restoration right away, however. Instead, he kept 70079 tucked away in a warehouse in Half Moon Bay, just south of San Francisco, while he collected parts for its restoration and documentation on the car's history. The original engine – number 40094 – appears to be long gone, but Castor has obtained another couple of BMW V-8s over the car's 40-year hibernation.
When Bimmer uncovered the 507 in 2009, writer Jackie Jouret called it one of two truly legendary individual BMWs: "If there's a Holy Grail among BMWs, this is it," Jouret wrote. Even then, however, Castor and Lange were hesitant to positively identify the 507 as Elvis's; all the evidence they had pointed to that conclusion, but no documentation definitively paired Elvis Presley and 70079, only Stuck and 70079. BMW itself has not yet responded to requests for clarification.
Still, that hasn't stopped BMW Classic from claiming that this 507 belonged to Elvis in its recent announcement that Castor has selected the in-house shop to restore it. How long the restoration will take and to what configuration, BMW Classic has yet to specify. However, 70079 will remain on display at the BMW Museum through August 10.

Experiencing the Aston Martin Centenary first-hand: Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car's 1937 Aston Martin 15/98 in London
Photography courtesy of the restorers, Julia Suggett/Premiere Event Painting and Mark J. McCourt.
Faithful Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car readers have by now received their September issue (#109), which includes a Restoration Profile feature on a special 1937 Aston Martin 15/98 Long Chassis Tourer. This car underwent an intense restoration that culminated in the highest possible honor: to represent its model year in the Centenary Timeline Display of Aston Martin's Kensington Gardens Broadwalk celebration, where as many as 550 models were on display to chronicle past and current production cars, coachbuilt one-offs, Le Mans racers, "007″ Astons and more.
Over the course of 15 years, our feature Tourer was transformed from this:
to this:
The car's restorers, Doug and Gary, performed the task at Gary's shop, G&R Auto Works. And the experience of showing the car in London on Sunday, July 21, 2013, was one these two won't soon forget.
Doug, left, is the nephew of this car's owner; it was restored in Gary's Keene, New Hampshire, shop.
While we only had the print room to tell the story of the actual restoration, the Centenary experience that followed was fantastic. We'll let each one share his memories.
Gary: When it arrived in the UK, the car performed flawlessly, and has had no problems since then. It wasn't damaged in transit, either.
It was shipped to Newport Pagnell. Doug's uncle went up, and took it for a drive. We spent two days detailing and polishing it. We enjoyed visiting the Aston Martin Heritage Centre, where we had afternoon tea and got a private tour with the bigwigs – it was a big deal! The next day, a private transport firm collected the car, because its owner wanted to drive it to the show from his private residence in London. Because of the city traffic, the transporter didn't want to deliver it, but he relented. We caught the train into London from our hotel and were walking down quaint side streets in an area with brownstones called the Mews.
It was bizarre – as if someone had turned off three-quarters of the usual traffic to go through all of this for him. When Hugh, the trucking driver, came in and unloaded it, it was a high. This was a magic time for Doug's uncle. We have pictures of the car coming through London traffic and into the show; there were special passes to get it into the private area. I was on the public side of things, but I could see Doug and his uncle 200 yards away, across a field.
There were key fobs with the Aston Martin 100-year logo, and the color of your fob determined what level of access you had; Doug's uncle John gave us fobs, as well.
They had put down aluminum road beds so that you didn't have to drive your car on the grass.
Looking down the row, there were probably $4 billion worth of Astons there; it was about two-thirds of a mile long, at least.
As the cars were lining up, many were struggling; it was horribly hot. Doug and I got into line; his sister and uncle came over and got in the back seat. For an hour or two, we meandered through the park, slowly working our way up to the car's spot in the timeline. I was proud of the way that ours ran and steered; there were lots of stops and starts to get it into place, and some of the other cars were not dealing well. This was one of the last cars made before World War II, and it was positioned last in the row of prewar cars, so it got an end slot with great exposure.
Once we got to the spot, there was a team of six guys waiting for us with tape measures and tape; they lined up each car with razor precision. It was work, parking these cars so carefully, with no power steering. And then the fences went up, and you could no longer go near your own car.
People were admiring the car all day, noting the quintessential Aston Martin colors.
There were Formula 1 cars there, concept cars, the "James Bond" cars. The car was displayed on Saturday and Sunday, and on Monday morning, they were packed up. Sunday was the big show day, and thousands of people were taking photos.
It was a hoot to sit there and watch the car… spectators would come up and talk with us. We had lovely chats with lovely people.
It was a special day for us, and for any car people, to be there. Aston Martin did a phenomenal job. When the event was finished, Doug's aunt and uncle then threw a private party. They left the car in the U.K. for weeks after the event, but now it's back in the U.S.; we're currently working on the convertible top and side curtains. It's also receiving its first round of maintenance; I'd say it's had about 400 miles put on it so far.
For me, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm humbled, doing what I do and not being a big-name restorer. It brought me into a different realm. As a car guy and mechanic, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to experience, to learn techniques, to do a car of this caliber, and then to have it invited to England to represent its year.
This restoration consumed upwards of 15 years of our lives, working on a daily basis, and that was not wasted time. There's a level of infinite detail in this car- even a qualified person may not realize it unless we give them a complete tour of every inch of the car.
I was very honored, and very emotional. It was a big deal.
Doug: This event was a joint venture between the Aston Martin company, the Aston Martin Heritage Trust and the Aston Martin Owners Club.
I think Andy Bell of Ecurie Bertelli - he's the world's premier authority on prewar Aston Martins - made it happen; he was familiar with this car, and he knew the show organizers. I think Andy suggested it to them, and in turn they realized that it's the best of its kind – being one of nine left out of 24 built.
I don't consider it to be a show car; it was built to be driven, and it's a road car. It's so unusual, such a beautiful design. It wouldn't make sense to do this type of restoration to something ordinary – you'd do it to something extraordiary, something with real character. Of course, an ordinary car would be a lot easier to work on.
I didn't know what to expect of the Centenary experience. The trip was very stressful, but not in a negative way. We'd rushed for months, and then we got on the plane. And then, all I wanted to do was to get off the plane and get going. When we arrived in London, every single thing that day clicked perfectly – we couldn't have planned the timing so well. Walking across Kensington Square into Chelsea, we arrived the exact moment the truck delivering the car pulled in. There was nobody around; London was dead that day, probably because it was miserably hot out. My uncle got in and drove it – that was the first time he'd driven it more than 100 yards in my lifetime.
He drove it up the Exhibition Road, across Hyde Park and into Kensington Gardens, into the holding area for these cars. No one could get in there except for the Aston Martin owners… that's when it finally hit us. It's here, it's done, after 15 years! It was the strangest experience.
We sat for hours. When we were pulled from the Broadwalk, we were number 20 of 100. There was a long parade of cars going in, and thousands of people watching. I was listening to the guards that were ogling this car as we crawled by – one told the other that this was the one he wanted. It was a funny thing to drive it in there: For me, everything went still and silent in front of the windshield.
And one of the most amazing things was when I saw Prince Andrew standing there, staring at it…
HRH Prince Andrew, third from left in the striped tie, admires our feature car.
It was an interesting day, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I realized that it was the highlight of my life… and it remains so at this point.
If you would like the opportunity to see this historic Aston Martin Long Chassis Tourer in the metal, make plans to attend the 8th annual Hemmings Motor News Concours d'Elegance on September 28 at the Saratoga Automobile Museum, where the car is scheduled to appear.
Cosmic provenance: the resurrection of Carl Sagan's Corvair Spyder
[Editor's Note: Reader Gary Swiatowy recently wrote up the below article on the restoration of a 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Spyder that Carl Sagan once owned for the July/August issue of the Corvair Society of America's Corsa Communique and thought we'd be interested in it as well.]
Provenance (from the French provenir, "to come from"), is the chronology of the ownership, custody or location of a historical object. The term was originally used in relation to works of art, but is now used in similar senses in a wide range of applications, including archaeology, paleontology, archives, manuscripts, printed books, and science and computing. The primary purpose of tracing the provenance of an object is to provide evidence for its original production or discovery, by establishing, as far as practicable, its history, especially the sequences of its formal ownership.
Provenance also can apply to the ownership of an automobile. Does the fact a certain car was once owned by a person of notoriety place a significant value on the vehicle above and beyond what is commonly referred to as "book" value? Astronauts John Glen and "Buzz" Aldrin owned Corvairs. So did Priscilla Presley and Muhammad Ali. And more recently comedians Tim Allen and Jay Leno are Corvair owners. But the reason for this article is the 1964 Corvair Spyder once owned by Carl Sagan.
Carl Edward Sagan (November 9, 1934 – December 20, 1996) was an American astronomer, astrophysicist, cosmologist, author, science popularizer and science communicator in astronomy and natural sciences. He published more than 600 scientific papers and articles and was author, co-author or editor of more than 20 books. He advocated scientifically skeptical inquiry and the scientific method, pioneered exobiology and promoted the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence.
As restorer of this car, Dennis Dorogi said: "I agree with others that it is significant that one of the most creative and important scientists of the 20th century chose one of the most innovative and creatively engineered vehicles of that era to drive. Maybe he just thought it would be a fun vehicle as he chose it over many other autos."
Think about it. Most Corvair owners would agree, the most sought after factory-produced Corvair would be the 1964 Spyder in convertible form. This would be a candidate to go that "extra mile" in purchase price or restoration effort. The fact that it was previously owned by a person of notoriety just adds icing on the cake.
Who is Dennis Dorogi? This from the Chautauqua County Council for the Arts when Dennis was honored for outstanding achievement as an individual artist: "Dennis Dorogi is an artist, luthier and sculptor in Chautauqua County. Dennis's beautifully crafted fretted, or plucked, dulcimers reflect the cultural heritage of the Northeastern Great Lakes. His fretted dulcimers are a combination of historic design and contemporary interpretation. Dorogi dulcimers can be found throughout the United States. In the world of folk and traditional music it is prestigious to own a Dorogi Dulcimer from Chautauqua County."
Dennis is also an automobile hobbyist and has brought his talents, patience and perseverance to the restoration of many cars over the years. The same skills and attention to detail he used in his musical instruments can be found in his restoration efforts. At the 2006 CORSA Convention in Buffalo, Dennis's 63 Rampside scored more than 98 points in the concours, to achieve senior division accolades the first time showed in a CORSA event. It was also the second-highest scored vehicle in Buffalo at that convention. The Rampside has also done well at various car shows in the Western New York area where it has received many first place and best of show awards. Interestingly, Dennis's work area for restoration is an 11-foot-by-22-foot garage attached to his main 32-foot-by-40-foot workshop. Tight quarters for sure, but Dennis mentions the worst part is the acoustics, as it is walled with sheet rock and the sound of power tools requires hearing protection.
Dennis, his wife, Ruth, and his family (four sons and a daughter), owned many Corvairs over the years. Some driven until used up, and some painstakingly restored or preserved. Dennis's introduction to the Corvair came when he was interested in restoring a late convertible a neighbor had tucked away, and his wife made the purchase for him.
Finding the Car.
Dennis's son, Mark, was attending Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, in 1984. His daily driven vehicle was a 1966 Corsa convertible. And as Mark found out, when you drive a Corvair, there are always people giving you leads on another one. In Mark's words:
A plumber working on a nearby apartment admired my car and said "Mrs. Ku has one of those, has for eight or 10 years. She's on sabbatical now." The hunt was on. According to the phone book, the Kus lived at 330 The Parkway in Ithaca. Dr. Ku is professor of Electrical Engineering at Cornell, while Ms. Ku works at the Chinese library at Olin library at Cornell. I found The Parkway and finally found the house – unlived in for over a year. Sure enough, almost invisible from the road, there sat a beasty old Corvair. It looked like maybe a typical rusted-out hulk, but upon closer inspection it proved to be a Spyder convertible, 1964. The top was totally gone, and water was going straight into the car, hence the floor was literally gone – rusted out into oblivion. The front end had sustained a moderate collision, with the hood slightly bent. The front bumper had not been hit. The outside has no rust holes and only minor rust spots! All four tires are flat, so the car is literally on the ground, and it is hard to tell how badly the underneath is rusted. The front compartment looks OK – there is one line of rust holes in the bottom. The dash shows 33,000 miles – power top – AM/FM radio – tinted windshield. The car is maroon-purple with a black interior. The seats are likely shot from the moisture. Last licensed in 1972 – NY plates. Doors look pretty good – some scrapes on passenger side. All wheel well chrome is there, as is the chrome under the doors. Monza hubcaps 150 Turbo engine, all intact, turns over with a wrench and looks pretty good. Chrome fuel lines, etc, all dirty and full of pine needles and leaves but still looks good. Chrome muffler tip rusted off and lying on the ground. Engine lid has a good dent in it. In short, a restorable car, very restorable."
After several attempts of getting in contact with the Kus, Mark finally found them and negotiated a price from them. Mark asked if they remembered who they got the car from, their reply: "Carl Sagan." This is the first Mark knew he had found a "celebrity" car. The Spyder was transported back to Dennis's home, a distance of over 200 miles. Surprisingly, after sitting since around 1972, with a jury-rigged can of gas, some messing with the points and timing, the car started right up, and sounded good! Dennis pried open the glove box to reveal several documents and personal papers belonging to Carl Sagan, including the original owner protection plan listing Carl Sagan of Cambridge, Massachusetts, as the owner. (Sagan was assistant professor at Harvard from 1962 to 1967; he joined the Cornell faculty in 1968.) There was also a wedding invitation, doctor's bills, service records from Luby Chevrolet in Boston and several other items, all badly mouse stained and aged, but documentation of ownership.
The final item to solidify Carl Sagan's link to the Spyder comes from the book Life of Carl Sagan by a writer named William Poundstone.
Sagan now tooled around town in a Corvair Monza Spyder convertible with turbo-charged engine. "It flew," one student remembered. This allowed him to make the most of Ithaca's blend of natural splendor, small town living, and first-rate intellectual company.
The Spyder sat beside the house in Ithaca from 1972 to 1984. After being transported to western New York, it sat behind the Dorogi home from 1984 to 2009. Dennis built a platform over the car to help protect it from the snow, and it sat on blocks awaiting the possible restoration… someday.
The topic had come up for discussion on Virtual Vairs and Corvair Center over the years, as to if the car was "worth" restoring. A celebrity car, a car needing massive restoration, is it worth the time, effort, and expense? Many have commented and followed the discussion and the pictures during the restoration, and finally the car had to come inside in 2009, just to get some work done to it. Maybe use some of the NOS panels, and restore some of the small parts that will fit into the sandblasting cabinet. Just do a bit here and there. Dennis's health was not so good, and he did not know how much he could accomplish, and how much longer his body would hold out. If you look at some of the early pictures of the restoration, you can imagine how intimidating this can be. Where do you start? Dennis's son Mark thought doing some, or any work on the car would be great therapy for his dad, even if the car would not be completed, it would be moving forward, and keep Dennis busy.
Dennis had been sending me photos from the beginning, which I have used in the Niagara Frontier Corvair Club's newsletter. (Dennis is a longtime member). The photos now reside on Flickr, where you will find hundreds of photos of this restoration. I was one of the many who followed the progress and was amazed how this five-year journey progressed, some of the difficulties, and the search and chase for parts, the creation of replacement pieces out of metal for sections of the car that could not be bought.
There were decisions to be made. Use an original emergency brake lever because it was the original one, or use one not pitted that would appear nicer? Use the German AM/FM radio that was in the car when Mark purchased it – it must have been installed by Sagan – or go back to original? (It has the German radio still). How about the fact the car had 1963 tail lights instead of the correct 1964 ones? They must have been replaced at one time. Dennis went with 1964 tail lights.
Looking back on my photo archives, several items come to mind. First, Dennis built a rotisserie for the car, so it could be turned to any angle, even upside down to work on it. He also had the car in pieces like a jigsaw puzzle, cutting out bad rotted metal and replacing it with donor pieces, or replacement pieces he fabricated himself. He needed seat belt anchors as the originals were long gone (probably still on the ground where the car resided in Ithaca), so Dennis used photographs for a pattern and created his own. The car was structurally in bad shape, many of the unibody frame rails had to be patched or re-created. Components like the heater boxes were built from scratch. To do restoration like this requires talent and imagination. I myself have looked at rotted and decayed parts and had no idea how to even start making or rebuilding a replacement, and as Carl Sagan said: "Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere."
Dennis has added some comments:
The reason I took so long to get around to restoring the Sagan Spyder – we have five children and most drove Corvairs. Before I could do the Spyder, I had to finish our other son's 1965 coupe, a 1963 Rampside, and my 1965 convertible, 1965 four door, and the family 1965 Buick Skylark.
Meanwhile, the rusty Sagan Spyder sat behind my shop as I had my doubts about restoring it. It was in bad shape. I am now 79, but I have had prostate cancer since 2005 and had a heart attack in 2008. I was discouraged, so my sons suggested I restore the Sagan Spyder. The stored Rampside was moved out of my shop in 2009, and the Spyder replaced it. The restoration began and continued until this year.
I do my own body work and paint and usually the mechanical work, but to speed things up my son Mark (owner of the car) had Ken Hand do the difficult engine and turbo rebuild.
It is again a smooth-running car and looks the same as when Carl Sagan drove it. About 50 percent of the original car remains – most of the exterior body and interior has been replaced along with the floors and outer rockers.
It was an extensive project but not practical financially. At least a few more people know that Sagan drove a 1964 Corvair Spyder Convertible.
I wonder what Sagan himself would say about the probability of his car to survive all these years? Why didn't the Kus dispose of it instead of keeping it for the right buyer to come along? What are the odds of it being found by a Corvair enthusiast who was in the right place at the right time and who heard about it from the right person and who would "save" it instead of taking the drivetrain and scrapping the rest? A person who would be persistent enough to follow through with phone calls and tracking down the owners and negotiating instead of giving up? A family who would make the effort to transport it home and store it for all those years? And that it would be placed into the hands of possibly the one person in the universe who would take the time, and would have the talent, skills, knowledge and perseverance to restore it to the condition it is in today? And also, a man who had the vision to see the car as significant, and what it could be, not as a rusted out hulk having no potential? The stars had to line up perfectly for this to happen. If Carl Sagan were still with us, I'm sure he would have something profound to say about this series of events.
I have done a couple photo shoots myself of this car and have tried to capture as many of the details as possible. Every time I see the car, I find it to be visually stunning and certainly many levels above what the factory built so many years ago. I have been involved with a couple of rotisserie restorations myself, and mine pale in comparison to what Dennis has accomplished here. I have replaced floor pans and body panels with reproduction items, but could not begin to fabricate my own panels, let alone the intricate boxed sections and structural components as Dennis has on this car. This car is a work of art, a restoration achievement that few could achieve.
Jaguar announces restoration service and support for its classic cars
A Jaguar Heritage Racing D-Type awaits its next event. Photos courtesy Jaguar Land Rover.
Own a vintage Mercedes-Benz, and repair or restoration can be booked through the Mercedes-Benz Classic Center. Similar classic vehicle services are provided by luxury brands Porsche, Ferrari, BMW and Aston Martin, and on August 1, Jaguar adds itself to the list of manufacturers catering to owners of other-than-new vehicles.
The announcement came buried in a press release discussing Jaguar Land Rover's newly formed Special Operations Group, which is best broken into two segments for clarity. For those interested in new (or future) vehicles, the Special Operations Group will create both limited production and entirely bespoke models for clients and will operate out of a dedicated Technical Center to be constructed near Jaguar's current headquarters. For customers with vintage Jaguars, the Heritage Vehicle Workshop will be based out of Browns Lane in Coventry, the site of Jaguar's headquarters from 1951 through 2005. Though much of the Browns Lane facility (including the former assembly line buildings and the Jaguar Heritage Museum) has since been razed, the location is still described by Jaguar as "its spiritual home."
Lightweight Jaguar E-Type under construction.
The first project to come from Jaguar's Heritage Vehicle Workshop will be the six continuation Lightweight E-Types, announced in May and set to be unveiled later this year. In addition to vehicle recreations and continuations, the Heritage Vehicle Workshop will also provide service, restorations and parts to owners of vintage Jaguars, and will be tasked with parts sourcing and re-creation as well. The venture officially begins on August 1, though it's a safe bet that work is already underway on the Lightweight E-Types to be assembled around the remaining six chassis numbers.
Just as the Special Operations Group will concentrate on new production models for both the Jaguar and Land Rover brands, heritage services will be available for Jaguar and Land Rover owners alike. Yet to be determined is whether the Browns Lane Heritage Vehicle Workshop will service both brands, or if Land Rover will construct a facility of its own for historic vehicle servicing and restoration. From a corporate perspective, demand for Jaguar parts and restoration is almost certainly greater than demand for Land Rover restoration, and hence a more profitable venture to begin with.
UPDATE (4.August 2014): Jaguar has announced that it will debut the first of the continuation lightweight E-Types later this month at this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
Big Willie Robinson's "Duke and Duchess" Daytona rides again
The Duke and Duchess Daytona, now fully restored. Photos courtesy Corey Owens.
When auto restorer and Mopar specialist Corey Owens acquired the 1969 Dodge Daytona once owned by legendary street racer Big Willie Robinson, the car was a sun-bleached, rust-eaten shell of its former self. Now, roughly $30,000 in parts and 1,900 man-hours later, Robinson's Duke and Duchess Daytona has been restored to its former glory, a fitting tribute to the larger-than-life character that founded the International Brotherhood of Street Racers and once piloted the Daytona to quarter-mile glory.
Robinson was a well-known figure in the Southern California drag racing scene, and his time spent with the Special Forces in Vietnam gave him leadership qualities that would help preserve the peace during the racially-charged days of the late 1960s. Using racing as an avenue to vent frustration made sense to Robinson, and his efforts to take racing off the street and onto the track led to the creation of Brotherhood Raceway Park on Terminal Island in Long Beach, California. Robinson was a Mopar guy, and the car most closely associated with him was a red 1969 Dodge Daytona; his wife Tomiko, also a drag racer, ran a green 1969 Dodge Daytona.
Drag racing is notoriously hard on equipment, and one too many dips in the acid tank eventually weakened the body of Robinson's red Daytona. Tomiko's green Daytona was totaled in a racing accident, so at one point in his career, Robinson turned to a third Daytona car for his trips through the quarter mile. Said to have come from his brother, who could no longer afford the car, this Daytona had started life painted R4 Charger Red, but Robinson had it sprayed in a cream color before lettering it up as the Duke and Duchess Daytona, a nod to the respect he had for his wife. Its doors carried the lettering of Street Racers Inc., National and International Brotherhood, an organization that Robinson saw as transcending cultural barriers.
That's where the story gets a bit hazy. When Mopar collector Gary French purchased the car from Robinson, it was Big Willie himself who said the car had never been raced, but subsequent inspection revealed otherwise. Not only were the rear wheel wells radiused to allow the fitment of oversize drag slicks, but the floor pan above the pinion snubber had been punched upward and later reinforced with a 3/8-inch steel plate, proof positive of hard dragstrip launches. Some said that the Duke and Duchess car had been used as a tow vehicle, but there was no evidence of a hitch having ever been mounted to the car.
French eventually sold the car to entrepreneur and clothing designer Donwan Harrell, who intended to restore the car to its in-period, as-raced condition. Needing money to launch a new clothing line, Harrell sold the car to Owens, who posted it for sale on his website with an asking price of $250,000, a reflection of the car's historical significance, if not its worn condition. When he received no offers (though in fairness, his marketing attempts weren't all that serious), Owens was faced with the difficult decision of whether to preserve the car or restore it to as-raced condition. A teardown of the Daytona made the decision for him; preserving the car still meant replacing the sheetmetal surrounding the rear window, along with the dangerously thin fiberglass hood. The thin fiberglass rear deck lid would also need to be recreated, and as the project evolved, Owens realized that a restoration would be the best way to save the car for posterity.
Nine months later, in May 2014, the car was completed in time for its public debut at Midwest Mopars in the Park, held at the Dakota County Fairgrounds in Farmington, Minnesota. The color mismatch in the engine bay was deliberate because that's how Robinson had the car painted to save money. As a competition car, it only had to look good from a distance, and money spent painting the inner fenders and firewall was money that wasn't spent on making the car go faster. Aside from that period-correct detail, the rest of the car was as obsessively correct as Owens could make it, down to the gray primer and cosmoline used on the car's undercarriage. The seats and steering wheel were original to the car, though Owens preserved the skinny steering wheel and later-model seats installed in the car when he took possession. Even the car's 440-cu.in. Magnum V-8 and TorqueFlite transmission were original to the car, through Owens admits to dropping in a mild camshaft to boost performance during the engine's rebuild. He gave thought to leaving the car with an open exhaust, but doing so would have made the car essentially undriveable on the street, and Owens said he doesn't see the car as a trailer queen.
Critics will point out that the car is neither as delivered nor as raced, and Owens readily admits the car was restored as a "day two" race car. Restoring it to "as delivered," or "day one" form would erase much of the car's historical significance, while returning it to "as raced" form is virtually impossible. Only Big Willie Robinson knew what engine and transmission were in the car, and although Owens has had correspondence with a man who claims to own the car's original Keith Black Hemi V-8, there's virtually no way to prove the engine was the one installed in the car.
Owens plans to show the car at upcoming Mopar events, including The Mopar Nationals at National Trail Raceway in Columbus, Ohio, and the 45th Aero Warrior Reunion at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Alabama. He'd like to make it to the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals as well, but Owens admits that's a lot of shows to attend and a lot of miles to travel. When asked if the car was again for sale, Owens was realistic; he'd rather not part with it, but 1,900 man hours and $30,000 worth of parts is a lot for a relatively small shop to absorb. While he's not actively pursuing the car's sale, if the right offer came along, the businessman in Owens would likely overrule the collector in Owens.
One likely buyer is Donwan Harrell, the car's former owner, who's already reached out to Owens in regards to repurchasing the car. An avid car guy with an affinity for Mopars, Harrell would certainly honor the car and the memory of the man that built it, perhaps easing the pain of a sale in Owens's mind.
Though freed from a muddy gumbo, Miss Belvedere now mired in limbo
Miss Belvedere in 2009, and as it looks today. Photos courtesy Ultra One.
When Tulsa authorities pulled the 1957 Plymouth Belvedere that had come to be known as Miss Belvedere from a sealed concrete time capsule after 50 years, revealing a zero-mileage car caked with mud and shot through with rust, it immediately became the most notorious 1957 Plymouth Belvedere on the planet. Notorious, however, does not always translate to valuable or desirable, and as a result, Miss Belvedere sits largely forgotten on the floor of a New Jersey warehouse, unwanted by just about everybody.
The hype surrounding the retrieval of Miss Belvedere, as the car became known, was inescapable in the summer of 2007. Just about every media outlet from CNN to the Podunk Times covered the speculation about the Belvedere's condition, whether it would start up on command after being pulled from its sarcophagus, who would get the car, and what they would do with it. Boyd Coddington, then at (or at least near) the peak of his popularity, was even on hand for its unveiling that June, but as the layers of plastic wrapped around the car to protect it from moisture damage and oxidation were peeled back, it quickly became evident that water had flooded the vault during the Belvedere's subterranean sentence, covered it in a mud mixed with all the chemicals that had leaked out of the car over the decades, and possibly destroyed it. Looking to put a positive spin on the debacle, the Tulsa Historical Society displayed the car alongside other relics from the time capsule in a temporary exhibit, and visitors came in respectable numbers to see the car in person.
As delivered to Ultra One for preservation.
When the car was buried in 1957, Tulsa residents were given a chance to win the car by correctly guessing the population of the city in 2007. The man who had come closest to guessing the actual population of 382,457 was Raymond Humbertson, who had died in 1979. His wife had also died by then, so ownership of the car went to an older sister named Catherine, but at age 93 her days of driving (or taking physical possession of a rusted 1957 Plymouth) were behind her. Catherine's younger sister, LeVeda, then age 85, was also named as an owner, but LeVeda died in November 2010. That leaves three actual owners of Miss Belvedere today: Catherine, who recently celebrated her 100th birthday (and still has a rusty Schlitz beer can, pulled from Miss Belvedere's trunk); her nephew, Robert Carney; and his sister, M.C. Kesner.
Carney, in turn, handed Miss Belvedere over to Dwight Foster of Ultra One, a New Jersey manufacturer of a rust-removing chemical that's claimed to be safe for the surfaces (like paint) beneath the oxidation. In November 2007, with the approval of the car's owners, Miss Belvedere was shrink-wrapped and shipped to Ultra One's warehouse in Hackettstown to begin a process of de-rusting and preservation. At first, it was believed that Miss Belvedere's engine could be saved and restored to run again, and that her lights could be wired to provide a dramatic touch for display. Foster even procured a 1957 Plymouth Savoy as a donor car, and work began in earnest. Miss Belvedere's leaf springs, which had long since rusted through in the acidic water of the time capsule, were replaced with donor springs from the Savoy. The Ultra One process removed a significant amount of the car's exterior rust, and in 2009 pictures began to circulate showing Miss Belvedere in a superficial state of preservation.
Midway through the de-rusting process.
Shortly after those images circulated, however, Miss Belvedere dropped off the public's collective radar, and classic car enthusiasts were left wondering what had become of the wayward Plymouth. When the New York Times caught up with Foster in 2010, they described Miss Belvedere as "more rust than bucket" and quoted Foster as saying that the offer to de-rust the car was a promotional stunt. Late last year, news surfaced that Foster, with Carney's permission, was attempting to donate the car to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. While it's known as "America's attic," Smithsonian representatives told Foster that they do not see it as "America's garage," and the offer was rebuffed, leaving Foster in continued possession of the car. The city of Tulsa also turned down Foster's request to send it back home for public display, noting that the cost to retrieve a rusted and useless car from an old tomb (and, presumably, the giant letdown experienced collectively by the town) still left a bitter taste in some residents' mouths.
As Miss Belvedere sits today, its condition remains largely unchanged since 2009, with all of the reasonable preservation work done that could be done. From a distance, the car almost looks presentable, but up close it becomes evident that the damage is irreversible. Foster compares the car's frame to papier mâché, admitting that "there are spots I could put my hand through if I'm not careful." Utilizing the frame from the donor Plymouth Savoy would be an option if Miss Belvedere were stronger, but the car's sheetmetal is in equally poor condition, especially in the rear. While the exterior has been cleaned, the interior of the body is still caked with mud, and as Foster said, "this is actually shoring up the body panels." The car's laminated safety glass is damaged beyond repair after water seeped between the glass and plastic layers during the car's years in storage. While the steering was functional at first, the steering box is "melted inside," the result of years of corrosion, and none of its electrical systems are even close to functioning. Even transporting the car to another location would be a major undertaking, given Miss Belvedere's fragile condition.
Miss Belvedere's interior. Most of the seat fabric has rotted away, exposing the steel springs.
Foster admits that he has somewhere between $15,000 and $20,000 invested in Miss Belvedere's preservation, but he's equally clear that the car is still the property of Robert Carney, his sister and their aunt Catherine. While Carney did not respond to our request for comment, his sister, M.C., did, and said that she would like to see the car returned to Oklahoma for permanent display. With little interest from the city of Tulsa, that's not likely to happen, but Foster remains hopeful that another museum will show interest in the car. The Smithsonian is clearly off the list of potential museums willing to take possession, but Foster is hoping that the AACA Museum (or a similar institution) has an interest in the car, which exists in an odd void between collector car and historical artifact. As a vintage car, its value is minimal, but as a slice of mid-century Americana, Miss Belvedere is potentially invaluable, particularly if displayed with the other rusted relics from the Tulsa time capsule.
Until Foster finds a museum or other sympathetic caretaker willing to embrace Miss Belvedere, however, it sits in a corner of the Ultra One warehouse, free from its watery tomb but no less trapped in time and place.
First production Studebaker Avanti's restoration nearly complete
Photos courtesy LeMay America's Car Museum.
As it rolled into the LeMay America's Car Museum in 2001, the Avanti didn't run, was painted metalflake green, and looked like it'd gone 10 rounds with Tyson. Renee Crist, the collections manager at the museum, said she probably could have made the argument to keep it green and refurbish or even preserve it, but that approach wouldn't have done the car justice – it was the first production Studebaker Avanti, after all, and it deserved a full restoration, which is now entering its final stages.
"It sparkled like a hot tub," Renee said. "It was truly a piece of art, and we were really trying to find out why it was painted the way it was – was it for an art gallery, was it for some kind of show?"
Investigating the car's history produced plenty of dead ends. A Tacoma, Washington, collector had donated it and another Avanti – the latter claimed to be the last Studebaker-built Avanti – both in dilapidated condition, to the museum after realizing he would never get around to restoring them. While the other Avanti ultimately proved to be a late-production example, but not the very last, the green metalflake-painted Avanti indeed was serial number 1001 and still had its original engine (engine number 1002) and original seats to boot.
According to Studebaker Avanti historians, that meant that it was one of the first 10 production Avantis assigned with a so-called "born-on date" of April 26, 1962, the day that Studebaker introduced the fiberglass-bodied coupe to the public simultaneously in New York City and in South Bend. "They're kind of like racehorses, which are all assigned a birthdate of January 1, regardless of when they were born," said Dave Kinney, who recently made national news for commissioning the restoration of the second production Avanti, serial number 1002, which went on to win its class at this year's Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. "Studebaker obviously didn't build all 10 of those Avantis in one day, and some people say they were built many months before then."
John Hull, author of Avanti: The Complete Story, said that all Avantis were essentially handbuilt cars – prototype, pre-production, and production alike – so there wasn't an assembly line as we typically think of it. Instead, the earliest production Avantis were probably built in batches of three or four at a time in South Bend, much like how Nate Altman's Avanti Motor Company built the first Avanti IIs.
What Hull did discover was that in June of 1962 Studebaker designated the first five or six Avantis – all painted white and fitted with deluxe orange interiors – to the company's regional technical training centers for use in developing shop manuals and in training the company's mechanics on how to service the cars. Serial number 1001 – built with an R2 supercharged 289-cu.in. V-8, four-speed manual transmission, and Twin-Traction limited-slip differential – went to the South Bend training center, while the others went to training centers in New York, Atlanta, Kansas City, and San Francisco.
What happened to 1001 after its time at the South Bend training center is anybody's guess, but by January 1970 it had made its way to Boston, racked up nearly 40,000 miles, and become separated from its Paxton supercharger. It then bounced around New York and New Jersey until the collector who donated the Avanti to the museum bought it and took it out West. When he gave it to the museum, its odometer displayed almost 69,000 miles.
Renee Crist said that while the museum does have modified vehicles in its collection and uses them to show the trends of specific eras, she and the museum's directors decided that "it was much more important to tell the story of the Avanti," of Raymond Loewy, and of what Studebaker was trying to do with the car than to have to explain why the car had been painted green. So in 2011, she – along with Studebaker collector James Bell – took on the role of project manager for the restoration of 1001 and began raising the funds to pay for a full mechanical restoration.
Enough donations came in, both monetary and in the form of parts and promised labor (Renee has estimated the total so far at around $50,000 and growing), to allow the museum to begin the Avanti's restoration in October 2011. Despite the fact that the Avanti had been used as a daily driver in the Northeast, she said that it had surprisingly little rust underneath. "We had to replace one crossmember on the frame, but the hog troughs were solid," she said. Of more concern was some damage to the left front corner that had at one point been poorly fixed and that would need to be addressed.
And then the museum staff had to sort out the actual damage to the car from the infamous poor build quality of the early Avantis. As both Kinney and Hull related, Studebaker initially contracted with the Molded Fiberglass Company of Ashtabula, Ohio – the same company that had supplied Chevrolet with fiberglass parts for the early Corvette bodies – to build complete bodies for the Avanti, but kept running into production issues.
"MFC built parts, but they weren't really an assembler," Hull said. "Avantis had about 110 fiberglass parts to put together, so they were like a giant jigsaw puzzle, so parts wouldn't line up, the back windows wouldn't fit, and the doors wouldn't seal." The poor build quality eventually led Studebaker to bring Avanti body production in-house.
Renee said the museum decided to restore the Avanti back to the way it was when it left the showroom, relying on Ron Hochhalter at Advanced Collision Repair in Sunnyside, Washington, to repair the damaged bodywork and to strip off the bass boat green paint before repainting it in Avanti White. Restoration has progressed since then, as documented on the LeMay's website: The original (and once again supercharged) R2 engine has been rebuilt, body and paint work is now done as is the chrome, and the car is currently at the upholstery shop.
While Renee said she anticipates the Avanti's restoration – the museum's first complete restoration – wrapping up this fall, she said she's still trying to track down some important parts to complete the restoration, including the Avanti-specific tuxedo orange and black carpet, a pair of glass headlamp lenses in good condition and a windshield in good shape.
"Once it's done, it'll be one of our crown jewels here," she said. "It'll be one of our star cars."
Kinney even said he'd like to show it together with his 1002 and possibly even a few of the other early Avantis, most of which are still around. "I'm really excited for the museum," he said. "I think we're about to see a renaissance with these cars."

Cyberpunk Punished
Watch This Video!
Penny Stone is a genius of digital technology and a bit of a brat. She is known as "Cyberpunk" on campus. Most thought it cute when the precocious Cyberpunk would hack into the school's system and change a grade simply because she could. All of that changed when Penny hacked into the government's security systems. Penny was subjected to several days of severe corporal punishment with Audrey, Michael Valentine and David Pierson.
Scene 1
Penny is a brilliant, yet precocious student and a master of all things digital. She would often hack into a system simply for the challenge of it. One day Penny was being chastised by Professor Valentine for hacking into the school's system to change a grade when he received the alarming news the Miss Audrey of the national security apparatus was there. She informed the professor that his protégé had broken into the national defense computers. Miss Audrey made the girl strip off her clothing for a check. The she spanked her with a leather paddle and her hand for having the audacity of violating the defense grid.
The stern Miss Audrey, an agent of the government, continues to punish the precocious cyberpunk, switching between her hand and the leather paddle. The naked and vulnerable Penny promises not to hack into the government's computers again and pleads for the spanking to stop. Following her punishment, Agent Audrey convinces Penny to sit on a hard stool, hurting her soundly spanked, bare bottom. In the position, Miss Audrey explains the dire consequences awaiting the Cyberpunk should she breech government security again.
Scene 2
After breaking into the government computers and her unpleasant experience with Agent Audrey, Penny now must face the wrath of her mentor, Dr. Valentine. This girl of the digital agAfter breaking into the government computers and her unpleasant e was stunned to hear that she was to be subjected to several days of corporal punishment, a form of discipline that she believed went out in before the invention of the computer. It was Dr. Valentine's duty to provide her first punishment, done to ensure that future acts of digital mischief would be discouraged. Despite her protestations, she was taken over Dr. Valentine's lap for a spanking. Her punishment started over her leotards and proceeded to her bare bottom. Penny pleaded for her punishment to stop feeling both pain and the humiliation of being spanked by one she reveres.
When Penny first went over her mentor's lap she was filled with an intense feeling of humiliation. "How can I ever face Professor Valentine again after he's spanked me like a child?" Soon, as Professor Valentine's hands descended upon his protégée's naked bottom a whole new priority took over her hierarchy of needs. That was for the intense and increasing pain of her bottom to stop. With all worries of preserving dignity gone, Penny kicked, cried and pleaded for her punishment to stop. After her punishment was over, Penny was placed in the corner, bottom on display, to contemplate the foolishness of her actions. Now, her sense of complete of complete and utter humiliation has returned.
Scene 3
After the Punishment she received from Agent Audrey and the bare bottom spanking that she received from her mentor, Penny Stone, the Cyberpunk who hacked into the nations defense system simply to prove that she could, entered Dr. Valentine's office at the appointed time expecting the worst. She fantasized that Dr. Valentine would admonish her for her behavior and send her on her way. When she saw her mentor holding two ominous looking wooden paddles Penny was filled with dread. "Are you ready for today's punishment,' Dr. Valentine asked of his protégée, in whom he was very displeased. Penny pleaded with her disciplinarian, "Please sir, not with that!" Unmoved, the professor placed Penny over a set of library stairs, raised her skirt and lowered her leotards, exposing her bottom. At first, all Penny could think of was how she was there, bent over, her bare bottom exposed to Dr. Valentine. Soon her concerns were less about that pertaining to her dignity, but how she could survive the pain she was enduring as the wooden paddle descended upon her naked bottom, over and over.
As that hard wooden paddle struck Penny's naked bottom over and over, she could not restrain the cries emanating from deep within. " I promise never to do it again," said the cyberpunk in an effort to stop this onslaught of pain. Instead of relief, Penny knew that worse was coming when Dr. Valentine made her hand him the large school paddle. Several whacks with this large plank had Penny's voice reverberating through the entire campus. After her punishment, the now contrite hacker, was left whimpering as she served corner time.
Scene 4
The Dean Is Back
Penny had been through much over the past few days. She was aware that the Dean was returning from his vacation to deal with the disaster that this cyberpunk had caused. Penny thought that she had been severely punished by Agent Audrey and Doctor Valentine. How much worse could a punishment from Dean Pierson be? As Penny entered the office she greeted the Dean but her eyes were drawn to a thick, menacing looking strap in Dr. Pierson's hands. Penny's confidence quickly faded as she was instructed to remove her skirt and bend over the punishment stool. In many ways, Dean Pierson regretted having to punish this brilliant young woman is such a harsh manner, However, he had been informed by Agent Audrey that Miss Stone needed to be dissuaded from future attempts at violating governmental security systems or she and her colleagues would. With that in mind, the dean lowered Penny's leotards and that strap landed with the force and sound of a lightning bolt. Penny shouted as the leather implement, that hadn't punished a student at this intuition since the middle of the last century, landed on her bare bottom time and again, leaving nasty looking red welts and Penny Stone in tears.
As the large, heavy strap fell, time and again, upon Penny's naked bottom, so loud were her cries that they reverberated through the entire campus. At this point, Penny wondered if this was a better punishment than being water-boarded at the hands of Miss Audrey and her minions? After several minutes of severe punishment the dean noted that he felt merciful and would end Miss Stone's torment with but twenty more hard swats. Penny failed to see how this was an act of mercy. She wondered how she could last through another twenty lashes with that vile implement? She was instructed to count each swat and thank her disciplinarian after each stoke or the entire punishment would resume again from the beginning. Following her ordeal Penny was made to lie in place and not move until she was retrieved. The implement that caused her so much pain was placed on her lower back. If it was to fall off she would receive another twenty. While lying motionless over the punishment stool, the young cyberpunk wondered what punishment yet awaited her.
Scene 5
Earned Stripes
It is Penny's final day of torment. She has come to regret having hacked into the government's defense computers. She entered Dean Pierson's office with trepidation, still very sore after the punishment with the thick school strap just the day before. She was stunned and nearly paralyzed with fear when she saw the Dean holding the cane, an implement of chastisement that hadn't been used at this institution in many years. Dean Pierson instructed Penny to remove all the clothing below her waist, noting that she may have need to kick. Then he instructed her to kneel on the couch with her bottom thrust back and upward to provide the proper target for this fearsome implement. Penny was stunned to hear that she was to received twelve hard strokes with the cane. She could only complain briefly as the Dean instructed her to prepare for her punishment, using the cane to push lightly on her pelvis until he felt she was in perfect position. Soon, Penny's screams could be heard reverberating through the hallways of the school.
As her caning proceeded Penny wasn't sure how she was going to survive. All she knew was that with each stroke of the cane, sounds of anguish emanated from her mouth that she didn't know were possible. Dr. Pierson would give Penny a moment to scream and wait for the pain to subside and then reposition her so that her bottom was back and tilted up to provide the best possible target. After her punishment was completed, Penny was lectured on the hazards of hacking and then made to stand in the corner to contemplate her actions and the punishments she suffered over the past several days.

New Resident Angelina – Disgusting Behaviour
Watch This Video!
Mr. Lewis roughly pushes a naked Angelina into a room. She has to make up three weeks of homework in order to get her clothes back. But as soon as Mr. Lewis leaves, she tires of homework and instead begins to doodle nasty artwork. When Mr. Lewis returns to check her work he finds the doodles and is very upset. For this she will get the tawse.
He has her bend over the table and gives her the tawse on her bare bottom. She also has to raise the hands that made those disgusting pictures and he strikes them with the tawse. He goes from one to the other, bare bum to hands. When he is finished he tears up the nasty artwork and leaves the tawse as a reminder of the consequences of not finishing her homework.
Stars: Angelina, Mr. Lewis
The Palace of Pain and Pleasure – Part Ten
Eleanor Powell
The Story so Far…
His very touch thrilled her through and through. As his magic finger caressed her engorged clit she could feel the onset of an orgasm.
Then he stopped.
She opened her eyes and they pleaded with him to carry on but he was already withdrawing from her.
He had frozen and was watching the door with a fixed stare on his face.
She was puzzled – what was wrong?
Now read on…
She heard a scuffling outside the door of their room at the Palace of Pleasure and Pain – it was roughly pushed open and in came a familiar figure brandishing a sword.
'Where's that runt of a brother of mine?' he made a dive at the man lying on the bed.
Cora screamed in sheer terror. 'Master Percy please don't hurt him.' She threw herself over her lover in an effort to shield him from the incensed man.
'What about him hurting me?' Master Percy was seething. 'My own brother has deceived me.'
'How Master Percy, how has he hurt you?' she asked him earnestly.
'How, how – by stealing my beautiful sub from me.' Master Percy was red in the face and blustering.
'But that's all I am to you Master – just your sub. Master Peter makes me feel special – a woman.'
Master Percy gave a grunt, and throwing down the sword he went to her. Pulling her upright, he sat down on the bed and hauling her over his knee he lifted her skirt away from her bottom and dragged her pantaloons down her legs where they gathered round her ankles – he began to spank her.
Cora wriggled about but it wasn't long before her struggles to escape turned into wriggles of enjoyment. She thrashed about over his knee as the waves of an orgasm sent her into frenzy. He then set her back on her feet.
'Go on admit it Cora, you're just a slut who loves to have her backside spanked,' he said triumphantly.
For a moment Cora bit her lip, uncertain of herself.
'How dare you speak to this lovely lady like that,' Master Peter stood up, towering over his brother who was still sitting. 'I have loved her from the first moment I saw her photo.'
'And how did you see her photo?'
'You left your wallet lying around and I happened to see it.'
'So you're not just a thief, you're a sneaky liar as well.' Master Percy began to stomp about the room, punching the air in frustration.
Then turning to Cora he stormed at her, 'look at him – he's so badly scarred, how can you bear to even look at him let alone love him?'
'I love him because he's sweet and gentle.' She sat down next to Master Peter and put her arm around his shoulder.
'Cora, oh Cora I love you too.' Master Percy sat down next to Cora. 'I thought you knew.' He tried to prise her arm away from his identical twin brother. 'Please I beg of you – let's start again.
Cora was perplexed. She looked from one brother to the other. 'I love you both,' she blurted out. 'I – I don't know what to do.'
Then suddenly she brightened. 'I know- I know what to do,' she said gleefully.
What is she going to do?
To be continued…
Double Tawse Punishment
Watch This Video!
Linda and Jenny wait nervously for Headmaster Tom, both silent in their fear of what's to come.
And what comes is a double tawse punishment for the two girls. Standing on either side of a column, Jenny is the first punished, carrying on wildly as usual. Linda is yelping but more subdued in her agony. From one to the other he goes while they profess their sorrow at breaking the rules. He leaves them rubbing sore aching bottoms.

Mistress Jasmine On Sub Tony
Watch This Video!
Mistress Jasmine gave sub Tony an intense flogging across his chest before cutting a hole in his pants with scissors, which were big enough to cut his hand off if she so wished. Then for a second Mistress admired his hard cock before also flogging it with mighty lashes. Dedicated sub Tony was now on the floor still in his metal stocks, his ankles were also within the contraption leaving him rocking on the arch of his back as he looked up to his Mistress wanking her clit above him. His arse hole was stretched vulnerably by the position he was in. Mistress soon addressed his arse hole filling it with her fingers before spitting on it and introducing a glass bulb dildo stretching sub Tony's hole to the max.

Motivational Spanking
Watch This Video!
Shadow Lane
Nowadays, baby boomers often get stuck with their insufferable children living at home. Eve and Butch sent Leela to college, and when they wasn't enough they sent their cute, little boomeranger to beauty school, but still she claimed that she wasn't ready to move out, all the while being a burden to her parents. They racked their brains, trying to think of some way to make living at home less desirable to Leela. Eve reminded Butch that the reason they both left home when they were Leela's age was to avoid corporal punishment from their old fashioned dads. Convincing Butch that the only way to make lovely Leela hate living at home is to start spanking her, Eve volunteers to confront their live-in brat about moving out, securing a promise from Butch that if her spanking techniques fails to motivate Leela sufficiently, that he will back her up. Act One - Eve Spanks Leela As soon as Leela returns from her part time job, Eve demands to know why she is taking so long to find a place of her own. Leela insists she has a plan that involves long term saving prior to relocation. But Eve is not inclined to be patient and accusing her daughter of willfully stalling, takes her over her lap for a hand spanking, first over Leela's cute jeans, then across the seat of the 22 year old's matching burgundy bikini panties, then resoundingly on the petite blonde's bare bottom. Leela is a willful girl who takes a spanking stoically, but she feels it and it shows as the white turns to pink across her smooth, small, jutting cheeks. As a hand spanking proves inadequate in convincing her daughter to move out, Eve bends the bare bottomed Leela over for a mixed session with the hairbrush, a collection of leather straps and paddles and a wooden paddle. Smartening Leela up with wood and leather, Eve continues to lectures her lazy offspring on the pros and cons of leaving home. After dozens of hard whacks and smacks from this small arsenal of corporal punishment instruments, Leela finally agrees to obey Eve's wishes and move out. Act Two - Butch Spanks Leela When Leela hesitates just a little too long in making good on her promise to move out, Butch conducts his own private interview with her, which includes a long, hard, over the knee spanking. Beginning in traditional style, over the slender blonde brat's short skirt, the hand spanking gives way to spanking atop Leela's black panties, and then to more spanking over the 22 year old's sheer pantyhose. But Leela is intractable, insisting that she has a plan that involves saving more money before moving out of the house. Butch demonstrates his own plan by pulling her pantyhose down and continuing to spank her on her slim but shapely bare bottom. After a sound spanking from Butch that leaves her sore and rosy pink, Leela finally agrees to take the leap into adulthood by leaving home. Crazily enough, in almost thirty years of making spanking videos, Motivational Spanking is Shadow Lane's first foray into mommy-and-daddy-spanks-girl territory, but with Butch and Eve putting their own unique spin on the traditional domestic discipline fantasy. Violet October, who really does turn 22 this month, is about as adorable as modern brats get and takes a beautiful spanking. She pouts as her punishment progresses, but knows better than to argue with the inevitable, that stubborn girls get the spankings they deserve.
Stars: Eve Howard, Violet October, Butch Simms
New Resident Maggy
Watch This Video!
Maggy, a new resident, is two hours late to arrive. As she waits, the Headmaster runs down her reasons for being at GBS for a full three months – cheating, stealing, shoplifting - all the usual. He has her disrobe and is appalled to find her braless. He leaves and returns with her regulation underwear and uniform. She is to return to him in one hour. When she does not, Headmaster Tom goes to see about her and finds her, still in her own clothes, masturbating on the patio! He sharply raps on the sliding glass door and summons her into the house immediately. He throws her over the back of an upholstered chair, denigrates her thong underwear and demands she shut up. She says she is sorry but it is too late, he begins giving her plump bottom a hard hand spanking. He makes her completely disrobe and finds she's still braless, although he has handed her a bra. Her excuse is the heat but it will be her bottom that will be hot in a short while. Headmaster goes to get the paddle. After each heavy whack of the paddle she must thank the Headmaster, profess her sorrow and state that this situation will never happen again!
Stars: Maggy, Headmaster Tom
The Caned Bottom
Watch This Video!
Jenny, wringing her hands and nervous as a cat, stands in front of a box on which lies a cane. So nervous that her hands are sweating and she has to wipe them on her jeans. When we see her next she is bent over the box, jeaned bottom up and out, receiving the cane. As her punishment proceeds she makes a loud ruckus with each stroke. Under command, she lowers her jeans and then her knickers to reveal her bare, bright red bottom.
