Working A/C: 1970 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
Something to ponder: A 15-year-old Cadillac today is a 2010 model. Does a 2010 Escalade stand out on the street today? Or a CTS? In 1985, this 1970 Coupe DeVille was a 15-year-old Cadillac, and it certainly would have… more»

40k Miles? 1958 Chrysler Windsor Hardtop
Chrysler Corporation’s dramatic new styling caught a lot of attention for 1957. Unfortunately, build quality for those gorgeous machines was spotty, and that reputation combined with an almost-industry-wide sales dip for 1958 means that finding a nice Chrysler from… more»

No Reserve Survivor: 1973 Chevrolet Blazer 4×4
How many car designs were so right upon their introduction that any changes made would simply be for the sake of change? I’m thinking of the ’40 Continental, the ’66 Toronado, and the Lamborghini Miura, but might I also… more»
