Ignition Systems • It's been said that the secret to success in life is really a matter of timing—being in the right place at the right time. While it may be a stretch as metaphors go, the same thing can be said about the basic ignition and timing in your hot rod.

Parting Shot • Auctions can be sensory overload for a hot rodder: rows of sheet metal, chrome, V-8 power, and possibilities stacked as far as you can walk. Every once in a while, if you slow down and really look the right car stops you cold. This 1965 Chevy Impala wagon was that kind of find. This is a muscle car in a "station wagon's clothing." When you get the chance, it pays to walk the aisles of one of the many Mecum Auctions.
