Superior Shape! 1968 Pontiac GTO

Hot Rod Handyman? 1957 Chevrolet Two-Door Wagon
It looks like a Nomad but it’s not! Nevertheless, any two-door station wagon from the ’50s is going to garner attention (and being pink certainly helps in the look-at-me department). So, since we’re looking, let’s look closer at this… more»

No Reserve Bubbletop: 1961 Pontiac Ventura
Yesterday, in a post about a ’65 Ford Galaxie 500, I speculated about full-size car design in the ’60s and how 1965, in particular, set the direction for new looks that were the way forward for the ’60s. In… more»

Three-Speed Project: 1965 Ford Galaxie 500
There’s no doubt about it, I like old American full-size cars. Even when they were common-place, I enjoyed their presence. Particularly, models from the early-’60s into the early ’70s caught my fancy and they didn’t have to be Pontiac… more»

All Original? 1974 Pontiac 455 Trans Am
By 1974, the muscle car party was petering out. There are those that would say that 1972 was the end of the line. And then others would counter with still available options like the Pontiac SD 455 Trans Am/Formula… more»

428 Powered Convertible! 1967 Pontiac Firebird
I like first-gen Firebirds. Why? because they’re not first-gen Camaros. Don’t get me wrong, the first-gen Camaro is my favorite of Chevrolet’s initial and famous pony car, there are just so doggone many of them – and more on… more»

Cheap? 1972 Lotus Europa S2
This is an interesting one, and not so much because it’s a 1972 Lotus Europa S2. There’s a small story here, and the consequence of it is something for consideration. This Lotus is located in Hawthorne, California and is… more»

German Corvette? 1969 Opel GT
It was said, back in 1969, that an Opel GT resembled a then, current Corvette that had been washed in hot water and shrank. Admittedly, that’s a stretch but I get the visual. And from an outward perspective, and… more»
