* The Detroit News this week turned its spotlight on the prevalence of fakes in the collector car hobby and the rea$on$ why they’re becoming increasingly common.
* We’ve linked to photochops of car brochure illustrations slammed to the weeds here and there in the past, but this week came across a blog dedicated to nothing but.
* Curbside Classic this week pointed out Martin van Duijn’s collection of Opel publicity photos, including the images used on the German brand’s calendars for several decades.
* Among Ferdinand Porsche’s designs for Germany during World War II, the Typ 175, a solid-tire four-wheel-drive tractor built by Skoda.
* Finally, the folks behind the Gran Turismo video game recently released a three-part series talking with Mario Andretti about his first race car, a 1948 Hudson and, meanwhile, building a replica of that car. Part one is above, and the other two parts are on the GT6 site.
