Launched for the 1955 model year, the XK 140 was broadly identical to its predecessor, the XK 120, with the main mechanical changes limited to repositioning the engine further forward and adopting rack-and-pinion steering. The suspension and brakes remained largely unchanged, with stronger torsion bars at the front and telescopic shock absorbers replacing the lever shock absorbers at the rear. Externally, the new model was distinguished by its modified grille, rear lights incorporating indicators and imposing bumpers.
Our example was delivered to Max Hoffman in New York in February 1955 in red with a black leather interior. In 1998, it arrived in France at the home of an enthusiast who had it completely restored: bodywork, upholstery, engine, gearbox and axle. The latter sold it in 2000 to a Belgian enthusiast who kept it until 2021. That was the year the current owner, a collector of British cars for the past 35 years, purchased it.
Between 2023 and 2024, more than €25,000 will be invested at Departement Classic for a complete engine overhaul, the installation of a 5-speed gearbox, power steering and a stainless steel exhaust, the upgrading of the braking system, replacing the spoked wheels and the soft top with a mohair one... This enthusiast will drive tens of thousands of kilometres, taking care to carry out this substantial work as he goes along. Our test drive showed us that the car was in excellent working order: the engine runs perfectly, the gearbox is smooth, and the sound of the stainless steel exhaust is... mesmerising! This is a car in perfect mechanical condition, eligible for the most prestigious events on the calendar (Tour Auto, Mille Miglia, etc.), which will delight the most avid drivers...
Once again, the mom's ruled the school! Our cafeteria ladies pitched in and made individual pavlova's with fresh fruit, almond bars, peanut butter fudge, more cupcakes and French Silk pies. Some cardboard stands adorned with silk flowers and ribbon.....
Not too bad!!!! And everything was out of this world delicious!!!!!!!
Pretty much most of what you see are reflections.
I made several adjustments to achieve this result. I don't know if I could repeat the same series of changes.
I shot the original photo at an automobile auction in Monterey, California.
The preview day for the annual auction of the Canadian Pickers TV show, this 1942 Dodge fire truck was clearly the biggest item up for grabs... Also a view here of the historic National Hotel, an old former hotel finally getting a well deserved restoration...

Mark Kriski from KTLA 5 tv in Los Angeles hosts an auction. The women on the left (mother & daughter) won the auction for a ride in the LAPD helicopter. More than sight-seeing, they got to do a ride-along for over 3 hours as the helicopter was in service and responding to calls. I placed a bid, but they won the auction for more than $4,000. The money is used for community service programs.
heading to auction soon!

The slaves that came into Fredericksburg were sold from this spot. They would be told to stand on the upper level and auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Much of America's treatment of slaves is airbrushed out of American history. Many people owned them but in historic buildings they're described as servants.
Incidentally the damage to the auction block is recent. It was attacked last year. No one knows who did it.

Tribute to Jean-Gabriel DOMERGUE "A Dream of Beauty"
A painter of elegance, tirelessly celebrating the female figure, Jean-Gabriel Domergue (1889-1962) chose his path: lightness, charm, pleasure and beauty.
The artist wants to please, he loves parties and fashion, highlights with a stroke of the brush the curve of a shoulder, the preciousness of a silk, but the apparent casualness of the man must not make us forget the importance of the work, the virtuosity of the painter's touch. Scholarly curator of the Jacquemart-André museum, member of the Institute, JG Domergue knew his classics and was able to assimilate the lessons of the great elders.
Following the geniuses of the Renaissance, he pursues painting after painting the search for an idealized female figure and he poses as the worthy heir of the painters of gallant scenes of the 18th century that he admires. Recognized during his lifetime, the painter's success has never been denied. His work, a veritable ode to elegance and celebration of beauty, is attracting more and more conquered collectors. Among them, the most fervent were undoubtedly Janet and Howard Thomas. Cannes by adoption like Domergue, they have constituted an extraordinary collection of works by the painter covering all of his periods of production. This exceptional collection was exhibited at the Villa Fiesole in 2003, it is now partly offered to the appetite of new aesthetes eager for beauty.
helped jesse break down these shelves a few weeks ago. was pretty shitty work. There were 56 shelves. Took about 10 hours (would have been 7 if Jesse used the extra drill...)
