Sources and methods

The news content on carbandchrome originates from a curated selection of published feeds and indexes provided by established news publications. These sources are selected for their coverage of the site's core subject: the individual motor car, its provenance, and its market value as defined by actual sale prices. This ensures all aggregated news relates directly to the eras, marques, auctions, restoration, events, and market activity that form the spine of the site.

Each aggregated news story is processed with automated assistance. The system identifies the core factual report, generates a concise summary, and rewrites the text into a standardised plain prose format. The original publication is clearly credited on every story. This process allows carbandchrome to present a coherent feed of relevant market and event news from multiple sources without duplication.

When a factual claim, such as a specific sale price or a technical discovery, appears in only one publication, it is treated as a single-source report. The story is still summarised and published, but the fact is not elevated to the status of a stable fact for reference pages until corroborated by further reputable reporting. This maintains a clear distinction between reported news and established reference material.

The site's reference pages, such as those for a specific Model, Auction sale, or Restoration guide, are built differently. They are constructed from stable, corroborated facts presented in a structured facts table. Each page is accompanied by a single, credited photograph. The prose on these pages is written to be permanent and is only amended when new, verified information comes to light.

News coverage is refreshed continuously as source publications update their feeds. The reference pages are refreshed on a periodic review cycle, or immediately when a significant new fact, such as a record auction sale, is confirmed and warrants inclusion in the permanent record. This combination provides both timely reporting and stable reference material for the LatAm enthusiast.
