The Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser was an automotive fossil. Its 1974 example measured 5872 mm in length and 2032 in width, making it one of the longest wagons ever. Undoubtedly, the wagon carried a larger than life persona and lived successfully for three generation between 1971 and 1992. This 1991 Olds received subtle modifications that have actually enhanced its appearance and appeal. It gets beefy low-profile tires and a set of burly American Racing chrome wheels. Plus, a prominent chin spoiler and an oversized hood scoop add to the exquisiteness of this estate car. Above all, it is armed with a fierce Chevrolet big-block Ram Jet V8 crate mill that pumps out a massive 502 horsepower.

After six years of seeing the machine in use, Barazone realized it didn’t have to fold. “It all could be done with telescoping parts and that opened a lot of doors that enabled it to do a much better job,” he says. “It went from kind of a clunky Cadillac to a sleek Corvette.”

Commuter-rail projects are outside Byford’s ambit, but the M.T.A.’s ineptitude, or worse, on large projects saps the credibility of everyone working under its aegis. One morning this spring, Byford visited a reconstruction project: the Cortlandt Street station on the 1 line, which was destroyed in the September 11th terrorist attacks. The station is scheduled to reopen in October, fourteen years after work began.

The Parkwood featuring Turbo Thrust engine was modified into a stunning beauty with a glossy paint job and eye-catching chrome accents. The best-in-class air suspensions and wheels were sourced from RideTech and Boss Wheels respectively while disc brakes were commissioned on all the four wheels.

It matches the RS 5’s impressive list of standard safety features, which includes front city AEB with pedestrian detection.

Alongside Super Bowls, the NFL’s International Series has become an annual work engagement for Reno. Recently, that has meant trips across the Atlantic to London, where the league has played 23 games since 2007, including multiple contests in each season since 2013. The undertaking is mammoth.

The restaurants are typically around 4,000 to 5,000 square feet, seating 150 diners and employing about 35 to 50 people. They could be located in a new building, an existing one or a strip mall.

It’s a little like walking in front of an automatic sliding door at a supermarket, except instead of opening the entrance to a store, you awaken a new scene to play out. 

We clattered through the Canarsie Tube, which passes under the East River and, like eight other subway tunnels, was flooded during Superstorm Sandy, in 2012. Seven million gallons of salt water found its way into the Canarsie Tube. The damage to subway cabling from corrosion was extensive, and the repairs have been strictly temporary patches.
