* Ford’s Rotunda, for a couple years in the mid-Fifties, hosted a custom car show that attracted some interesting and unique cars, as Custom Car Chronicles recently noted with plenty of photos documenting the cars on display in the shows.

* Jeroen Booij at Maximum Mini finally got an answer in his quest to learn more about a one-off six-wheeler Mini Clubman, and the answer’s a pretty good story at that.
