California Cool? 1960 Chevrolet Impala

Everything in moderation right? Sometimes you wonder if car designers follow that mantra, or perhaps consider it after the fact. Take the 1959 Chevrolet for example – that was an “out there” design. And it was a huge change… more»

327 And Overdrive! 1965 Chevrolet El Camino

I have been jonesing for a Chevrolet El Camino for a long time. The problem always seems to be the mix of equipment, geography, vintage, or price. So while I have time to endlessly cogitate upon the matter, let’s,… more»

Rare But Cheap! 1964 Oldsmobile Jetstar 88

This is my third Oldsmobile post in as many days! And no, I’m not an Oldsmobile fan, but hardly a detractor either. If it’s old Detroit iron, I’m there, regardless of the marque. Oldsmobile is a special case because… more»

Parked in ’72: 1957 Chevrolet 3600 Barn Find

Hey, how about another ’57 Chevy? You know, the third and final member of the Tri-Five triumvirate? Well, here you go, a ’57 Chevrolet 3600 step-side pickup. Yeah, not what you were expecting but maybe one that you would… more»

Subtle Engine Swap! 1961 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88

“Put an LS in it“! Is a frequent refrain when asking an open-ended question regarding an old Chevy with hot-rod aspirations. It’s a thing and has been a thing for some number of years now and it continues to… more»

Desert Find: 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass

It looks like a first-gen 442 but it’s not, it’s a Cutlass and probably more like a 341, depending on the engine configuration employed. Nevertheless, the lines of this second-year A-Body intermediate, shared with Chevrolet’s Chevelle, Pontiac’s LeMans/Tempest, and… more»

Roy Clark’s Continental: 1977 Lincoln Town Car

Roy Clark! Now that’s a name that I haven’t considered in a while. An icon of a rather silly TV show known as Hee-Haw, Mr. Clark was a brilliant country music ax-man regardless of the musical style he was… more»

Red Ram Royal! 1955 Dodge Lancer

Sometimes, a particular make, model, and year of an automobile has been covered so extensively, there’s really nothing more that can be said about it. Take a ’55 Chevy for example, what more can be said that hasn’t already… more»

Ran When Started? 1974 Saab Sonett III

Styling is always subjective. There can be agreement at either end of the spectrum, as in a knock-out look, or something that is so ugly it would make a freight train take a dirt road – but there’s a… more»

Rare LS6 454-4 Speed! 1971 Chevrolet Corvette

“The LS6 is dead, long live the LS6!” That’s how things seemed at the conclusion of the Chevrolet’s 1970 model year. But the show wasn’t over just yet and this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette is living proof. We have to… more»

Chevrolet V8 Powered: 1958 MGA/Devlin

When is an MGA not an MGA? When it has a Devin custom body affixed where the MGA threads used to reside. News to me, so let’s take a look at this interesting mashup. This 1958 MGA/Devin is located… more»

Parked For 10 Years: 1971 Lotus Europa

Small and unique looking is how I would describe this 1971 Lotus Europa (the listing advertises this car as a ’72 model but the trim tag states 1971). The flying buttress, or extended sail panels, or the combined B/C… more»

Former Big-Block Project: 1966 Chevrolet Corvette

OK, let’s cut to the chase, this ’66 Chevrolet Corvette is wearing a big-block hood and was in possession of said engine at one time, but it’s a roller now. That’s it, over and out, right? No, every car… more»

Chicken Coop Find: 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible

A Plymouth ‘Cuda from 1970 always ends up being front-page news, but a standard Barracuda? Not so much so. But, how about a ’70 Barracuda convertible? That’s hardly an everyday find but that’s exactly what we have for your… more»

30th Anniversary Edition: 1980 Triumph TR7 Convertible

It’s the perfect pictorial opening, a 1980 Triumph TR7 on the back of a flatbed. Some will say, “Well, of course, it’s a 31-year-old barn find”, while others will say, “That was the normal perch for my TR7 while… more»

Spectacular Survivor! 1966 Oldsmobile Delta 88

It’s an oft-told tale. The owner of a lightly and gently used automobile passes on, his significant other holds on to it for years, and then finally decides that it’s time to part company. And that’s the case with… more»
