MAGNUM DELIVERY
We don’t doubt that the DaimlerChrysler design staff fully realized that they found something very special with the Dodge Magnum, especially when the initial versions first rolled from the drawing boards. Its immediate popularity confirmed its place in automotive lore.
DAILY DRIVER DO’S AND DON’TS
So, you’ve contemplated and weighed the pros and cons of driving an older pickup or decided that one would make a great addition to the newer pickup you already own, then you are ready to make the leap of faith and turn that older pickup into a vehicle that could be used as a daily driver.
MOD MOTOR 4-PLAY
Performance enthusiasts are a funny bunch. They all seem to agree that “as much as possible” is the correct answer when asked, “How much power do you want?” But they certainly

Product Spotlight: Pyramid Optimized Design Sequential Aurora Taillight for 1964½–1966 Mustang
Update Your First Gen Mustang's Taillights to the 21st Century
If you’ve ever followed a classic Mustang at night, you know the taillights were never its strong suit. Pyramid Optimized Design decided to fix that—with style. The Sequential Aurora Taillight is a modern LED retrofit that finally gives your early Mustang the bright, even illumination it always deserved—no hot spots, no dim corners, no burned-out bulbs.

Each Aurora setup comes as a complete, ready-to-install system. Inside the box, you’ll find two precision-engineered LED taillight units, a solid-state LED flasher relay designed for smooth, consistent sequencing, and a pair of low-profile chrome bezels with hidden hardware—a subtle but brilliant design move that eliminates visible screws for a cleaner, more refined finish.
These bezels strike the perfect balance between factory-correct styling and modern refinement, maintaining that unmistakable Mustang rear profile while sharpening it just enough to catch the eye. When those sequential turn signals sweep across the lenses, the effect is pure automotive theater—subtle, sophisticated, and unmistakably modern.
Prefer to keep your Mustang’s exterior completely original? Pyramid thought of that, too. The Aurora housings are fully compatible with your stock bezels and lenses, allowing you to retain a 100% factory appearance while enjoying the benefits of today’s lighting technology hidden beneath the surface.
Key Features:
- Direct retrofit for 1964½–1966 Mustangs—no permanent mods
- Ultra-bright, even LED output with sequential signal pattern
- Hidden hardware, low-profile bezels for a clean factory aesthetic
- Includes reproduction lenses and a solid-state flasher relay
Installation couldn’t be easier—it’s a true plug-and-play retrofit that requires no cutting, no drilling, and no irreversible modifications. Everything bolts right into the factory mounting points, transforming your taillights in an afternoon. The result is a factory look that glows with confidence and clarity far beyond what Ford ever offered in the mid-’60s.
Classic looks. Modern lighting. Zero compromise.
