Oh, for the days of simple, cleanly designed cars such as this 1966 Rambler Classic 770 four-door sedan. It is the truth, you don’t know what ya got until it’s gone! This 68 K-mile sedan is in fabulous condition,… more»
Buried Resto Project: 1958 Chevrolet Corvette
There are “claimed” barn/garage finds and then there’s da real ting, and that’s what Scott R. has found for us today, a “buried” 1958 Chevrolet Corvette, which is an apt description! Parked in the mid-eighties, this forlorn-looking ‘Vette has… more»
Five-0 Interceptor! 2009 Ford Crown Victoria
I’ve always wanted to own one of these! A Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, such as this 2009 example, makes a statement just sitting still. While not a particularly stylish ride, they are unique in a last-man-standing sort of… more»
Three-On-The-Tree V8: 1962 Buick Skylark
When I think of the Buick model known as a “Skylark”, I automatically swerve to the well-known and popular ’64-’72 variant. Prior to that model run, however, the Skylark badge was an upscale trim package available on the new… more»
One Family Owned: 1972 Dodge Dart Swinger
I’ve always had a “thing” for fourth-generation (’67-’76) Dodge Darts, such as this 1972 example. I prefer the first three years, styling and power-wise, but the simplicity of design and basic, clean styling transcends all ten model years. Today’s… more»
Big Car, Big Value? 1972 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight
In the last three years, we’ve reviewed a countless number of 1972 Oldsmobiles, and all but one were Cutlasses or 442s. Only one was a full-sizer, and it was an eighty-eight four-door sedan. That’s no surprise, but those intermediate-sized… more»
34K Miles? 1972 Chevrolet Corvette LT-1
We cover C3 Corvettes (’68-’82) all the time, so I’m not sure there is much more that can be said about this long-running series. However, the ’70-’72 LT-1 equipped models were something special, and this 1972 subject car, so… more»
One Mixed Up 1954 Studebaker Commander
Yes, it’s confusing and I’m confused. The listing tells us that this car is a 1954 Studebaker Commander, but then elaborates further and states that it’s a Golden Hawk with a Commander front clip substituted for the original piece…. more»
Reasonably Priced! 2007 Cadillac CTS
I must have a Cadillac jones going on because this 2007 CTS will be my fourth Caddy review in the span of three weeks. I prefer the older “Standard of the World” subjects, but to be fair, I have… more»
Sorta Like An Infiniti: 1997 Nissan Gloria
I recently returned from a trip to Ireland, and the right-hand, narrow road driving experience was certainly a memorable facet of that trip. Over there, one gets to experience a lot of different makes and, in particular, models of… more»
70K Mile Convertible: 1965 Buick LeSabre
Now this is a Buick! Sure, we still have Buicks today, but most look like porcine wheeled objects on stilts. A proper sedan, hardtop, or convertible? Fuggetaboutit. This claimed 70 K-mile 1965 LeSabre convertible appears to be in excellent… more»
41K Miles! 1969 Cadillac Coupe Deville
Full disclosure: I’ve never owned a Cadillac, but I’ve been on a bit of a Caddy bender with this 1968 Eldorado, 2009 DTS, and this 1951 Series Sixty-Two. What gives? I dunno, I like old full-size cars (OK, the… more»
Parts Car Candidate? 1972 Mercedes 450 SL
Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Back in 1972, a Mercedes 450 SL was an exalted ride; if you had one, you were doing all right. Today’s deleterious find, located in Monroe, Louisiana, is a figurative shadow of its… more»
Parts Car Included! 1952 Mercury Monterey Convertible
You know, “Barn Find” has become a generic term in the old car world. It seems that everyone and his brother who has a car to flip calls it a “barn find”. That’s OK; you savvy readers know what’s… more»
Black Beauty: 1976 Ford Thunderbird
OK, I’ll admit it. From time to time, I have taken a snarky attitude towards mid-to-late-seventies disco duck mobiles, such as this 1976 Ford Thunderbird. It’s not a retrospective on my part; I clearly recall the era, and was… more»
Fun Car Project: 1959 Chevrolet El Camino
What to make of Chevrolet’s 1959 El Camino? What to make of the 1959 Chevrolet, in general, I suppose I could ask, considering its late fifties, over-the-top styling. And from my perch, that exaggerated styling is even more obvious… more»
