* Mac’s Motor City Garage dug up some of GM’s lesser-known uses of the Chevrolet bowtie, largely out of the United States, including the Brazilian Veraneio above.

* There never were any dragsters in Antarctica because there never were any dragstrips there, right? Not so, according to the H.A.M.B.’s Fairlane500, who posted the above photo of what is probably the only Antarctic dragster. It’s probably not that surprising there was a hot rod of some sort down there, given the number of U.S. servicemen with access to airfields there.

* Where did the word “gasoline” come from? Jesse at justacarguy pointed to this story that it evolved from the word cazeline, named for John Cassell, a British petroleum products importer. Okay, if that’s the case, then does that explain why the British world still uses “petrol” rather than “gasoline?”
