While not a survivor, at least cosmetically, this Bicentennial-year Ford Highboy is one good-looking truck. The seller touts the silver paint as being somewhat rare, and the attached Marti Report says this is one of 638 with this paint… more»

1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham

Serious Fins: 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible
Some readers may disagree, but I’ve always felt that the 1959 Cadillac almost defined the fins trend of the 1950s. I acknowledge that Virgil Exner accentuated the feature as part of his “Forward Look” philosophy. Still, there is something… more»
Diving Board Driver: 1975 BMW 2002
We often try and shy away from restored cars but when a specimen was restored many years ago and is holding together well, it seems to edge closer to the “preserved” category. The 1975 BMW 2002 shown here represents… more»
Modern Hemi-Powered 1954 Chrysler Imperial
