You may remember the old Dodge Durango the way I do: As a clumsy, truck-based ute, just one more member of that herd of motorized dinosaurs that roamed America, doomed to extinction by an oncoming comet called the Great Financial Contraction. Yes, the old Durango crawled off to die in a tar pit somewhere, and was replaced a year ago by this, the new Durango. Like its Chrysler Group stable mate, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the new Durango has benefited enormously from Detroit’s near-death experience, and from new direction by Italy’s Fiat.

We've received lots of mail from readers on our recent column on Gary Keyes’ beautiful 427 Dana '68 SS/RS Camaro reproduction, and I thank all who have written. Most readers love the history of these "non-production" 427 Camaros, which were first introduced as a "dealer swap" in 1967 by Dana in Los Angeles and then followed by Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsburg, Pa. What followed is officially known today as a "COPO" 427, which translated means "Central Office Production Order." The COPO 427s had the full backing of GM's Chevrolet division, including a warranty.
Snow country is where I live, so it isn’t always good to see a sleek, low-slung, high-performance coupe hunkered in the driveway—at least when it’s under a thick blanket of the white stuff.
