Looking like either Jennifer Blue or Cerulean Blue (my money is on Jennifer Blue), this 1977 Cadillac Sedan DeVille appears to be a nice example of GM’s first year redesigned fifth-generation DeVille series, in a much smaller, lighter size, and… more»

Upgraded Engine: 1954 Nash Metropolitan Hardtop
Model year 1954 saw the introduction of the Nash Metropolitan, a true subcompact (its wheelbase was shorter than a VW Beetle) that was ahead of its time in some respects. It was unique as well, being the first car… more»
