Peter Corn

Peter Corn joined MotorBiscuit as an Autos Writer in 2020 and brings his quippiest Southern drawl to our table. Having, in his words, “helped” rebuild his dad’s 1959 MGA as a small child, Peter grew up loving vintage cars and trucks, adding motorcycles and all things 4×4 as he went.

Peter earned a Bachelor of Archeology and Creative Writing from the University of Alabama and has since melded his love of driving with storytelling. His voice, full of pleasantries and witticisms, can be enjoyed in The Gentleman Racer, The Vintagent, Gear Patrol, Iron & Air Magazine, and Classic Car Club Magazine.

Peter is a co-founder of both The Colloquial Magazine and The Fire Escape, the official podcast of The Colloquial. In an effort to increase his abilities in “ramping anything with wheels,” Peter has taken track training from Classic Car Club Manhattan and attended Rally School at Monticello Motor Club, where he was coached by eight-time Performance Rally motorsport champion Chris Duplessis.

On a lucky day, we get to hear Peter tell the story of his first car, a jewel of a 1958 Ford Fairlane, into which he dumped more time and money than made sense, but he has no regrets.

Ford Just Made Figuring Out Your Pickup Truck Towing Limit So Much Easier

Figuring out your pickup truck’s towing limit can be pretty confusing. With something as potentially dangerous as towing, it’s not really something you want to do much guessing about. Ford just released the best towing tool for any Ford owner. All you need to know your truck’s towing limit is a truck, the VIN, and …

How Does a 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid Compare to a 1965 Ford F100?

We are reaching a true paradigm shift regarding the way we think about and what we expect from our vehicles. The 2021 Ford F-150 hybrid is one of the most advanced pickup trucks ever made. I think this kind of technology being dumped into an F-150 is making us realize how far we have actually …
Animation of the long-lost Ford SVT Thunder

Why Was the Mysterious Ford SVT Thunder Killed and Hidden From You?

These days a muscle truck or muscle SUV is not a very strange concept. Hell, Dodge made a Hellcat-powered Dodge Durango, and people actually bought it.
