We’ve seen modified Studebakers before with many sent to the Salt Flats. We all know the look: long, low and smooth. This Studebaker, originally a 1957 Golden Hawk, was completed in 2019 and features sheet metal grabbed from several other classics: 1960 Pontiac nose section and door skins, 1959 Ford Thunderbird hood, 1963 Chevrolet Corvair rear sheet metal and a 1967 Oldsmobile Toronado right-side headlight door. The Studebaker donated the cowl, windshield and door frames.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.

Vehicles often feature several trims, so letters are often added to help identify the different variants. For example, an SE might mean "Sports Edition," and an LE might stand for "Luxury Edition," as it does on Toyota trim levels. Usually, the automaker indicates what the letters stand for so there isn't any argument among vehicle enthusiasts. However, in the case of Pontiac GXP — without official word — car enthusiasts are left guessing. That said, some on the internet have come up with compelling answers to the question, so you'll have to decide on a consensus for yourself.

The refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer debuted back in early February bearing a number of changes including slight exterior styling tweaks, along with a host of interior revisions and the addition of the brand new Ford Digital Experience software. However, along with a pared-down trim level lineup that saw the deletion of the King Ranch trim, the 2025 Ford Explorer was also curiously missing any sort of hybrid powertrain option.
