Regardless of condition, I still think Lincoln’s post-war Continental possessed a menacing look about itself – parts missing, not negating the intensity of its formidable bearing. This 1948 convertible is one of only 452 produced that year (I have… more»

V8 Candidate? 1953 Chevrolet Station Wagon
Pre-mid-fifties Chevrolet station wagons don’t make the review cut often, but here’s one where the owner had, at one time, some sporting intentions for its future. It’s a 1953 edition and appears to be a One Fifty-trim line, a… more»

It’s Topless! 1958 Lincoln Continental Mark III
I would say that the majority of modern cars are totally forgettable. They all look alike and mostly live obsequious lives dithering to and fro. Well, that wasn’t the case in 1958 and as proof, I offer this spectacular… more»

HEMI Find! 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T
I’m always on the fence regarding muscle cars. They get covered ad nauseam and there’s not much more that can be said about them that hasn’t already been covered, time and time again. This 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T, however,… more»

A Unicorn? 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback
Ford built about 560K Mustangs in ’65 and another 120K or so that were referred to as ‘64.5s even though they’re ’65s for titling purposes. And of that total, it would seem that we’ve covered every one of them… more»

The First SUV? 1984 AMC Eagle 4×4
Quirky or prescient? You could proffer that question about a lot of American Motors vehicles. I’d rate this 1984 AMC Eagle station wagon as a bit of both. And AMC had it all going on in ’84 as they… more»

13K Mile Garage Find: 1973 Chevrolet Impala
Chevrolet knocked out something like 933K Impalas in 1973 – a very big number and much of that success was due to the “Custom” two-door hardtop such as this Fort Lauderdale, Florida example that T.J. has found for us…. more»
Basement Find! 1965 Chevrolet Corvette
Well, as is often said, “Parts is parts” and they’re plenty of them associated with this 1965 Chevrolet Corvette. The seller claims that this Chevy was stored in a cellar for 40 years, actually, “since the mid 70’s, the… more»

Former Museum Piece: 1937 Chevrolet Master

Wild Styling! 1961 Dodge Polara
Yikes! I’m not sure how I’d describe this 1961 Dodge Polara. It has a Star Wars-esque bearing about itself, courtesy of Virgil Exner’s imaginative pen. Styling is always subjective and I sorta like this one but mostly don’t. It… more»

Hangar Find: 1981 Pontiac Firebird Formula Survivor
Okay, I have to admit it. I’ve always been on the fence with Pontiac’s second-gen (’70-’81) Trans Am. I think it’s the body flairs, faux shaker hood scoop, the excessive pinstriping on the “Smokey” editions, and in many cases,… more»
