No faithful follower of AMC's Mad Men could have missed the cars that quietly co-starred. Stretching through the whole of the 1960s, the series' timeline had access to some of the coolest vehicular set dressing ever. Here are five cars from the show that we saw, remembered, and love.
The Walking Dead, TV's favorite show about the coming zombie apocalypse, now includes a custom, zombie-hunting Honda motorcycle for Norman Reedus' Daryl. See it here on video.
MotorWeek's Retro Review series finds treasure in the archives with a look at the entire 1983 AMC lineup, including the models from Jeep and Renault. This was just a few years before the company was sold to Chrysler.
Synthesizing a mid-mounted, muscular American V8 and a svelte European body, the 1970 AMC AMX/3 could have been something very special. Famed Italian designer Giotto Bizzarrini even crafted the body.

The Republican race for the presidential nomination is getting serious, and National Public Radio reports that the the Secret Service is stepping in to offer its protective services to the potential nominees.

Rob Dyrdek's "kick flip" stunt in a Chevrolet Sonic effectively sealed his place in the hallowed halls of stunt driver lore. As it turns out, actually pulling off a 360-degree barrel roll in a vehicle is one of the most challenging stunts one can perform. Driving on two wheels? Cakewal

Cars that were once four-wheeled jokes are gaining in value, demonstrating that history usually plays out far differently than you'd planned.

Hagerty's insurance company is the number one insurance provider for collector car owners, and the values of the vehicles were sudde
Reader Sarah Turner emailed in a question yesterday asking about the Stirling
