Dreaming of a 1939 Oldsmobile

"Christina, my wife of 33 years, and Gateway Classic Cars have made my lifelong dream come true,” says Dean Wasson, a veteran of the Vietnam War and a resident of Peachtree Corners, Georgia. For many years, Dean longed for a 1939 4-door Oldsmobile, so that he could carry extra passengers. (Most street rodders prefer a 2-door,” he says.)

His new car is pearl white with maroon interior and has all of the modern conveniences on it.

“He takes his baby on daily rides to give her…

Mark Ray and The Plane Car!  By Mike Thies

The Plane Car!  By Mike Thies

I met Mark Ray on a sunny Sunday morning in 2015 at a Caffeine & Octane meet in Alpharetta. I saw the boat car and had to meet him.  I think it was the first event he took his new “Boat Car” and he was clearly excited to show it off.  It was red, and quite remarkable.  It looked much more boat than car for sure, but when asked if it did okay in water, he said with grin, “It sinks!”.  He said he built it because someone said he couldn’t do it. He…

A Bite of History - Marcos  By Mike Thies

A Bite of History - Marcos 

By Mike Thies

The Marcos was one of those wonderfully unconventional British sports car companies that could only have come from the postwar racing world. The company was founded in 1959 by Jem Marsh and aerodynamicist Frank Costin, with the name Marcos coming from Marsh and Costin. Costin brought serious aircraft and racing design experience to the project, and that influence showed up immediately in the cars: low frontal area, light weight,…
