1910 Buick Bug – Jay Leno’s Garage

In 1910 Buick made a racing car with a 4-cylinder 622-cubic-inch (10.2-liter) engine. That’s more than the Viper or any other road car that’s mass-produced today. Still, the Buick Bug only had about 50 hp.

Get your road goggles on! Buick built only two 4-cylinder, 622-cubic-inch 60 Specials, and Jeremy Dimick of Flint’s Sloan Museum brought one down to the garage for a test drive!

The Tea Party Pace Car

The Tea Party Pace Car leads the field in the race to restore Essential Liberty as enshrined in our nation’s founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.

The Gadsden was the banner of the Sons of Liberty at the dawn of the American Revolution, and the first flag adopted by the United States Marine Corps in 1775 at the recommendation of Continental Colonel Christopher Gadsden. It was revived in recent years as the banner of the Tea Party movement to restore American Liberty.
