Silver Screen Star: 1972 Ford Gran Torino

428 CJ Ram Air! 1969 Ford Mustang Mach I

Cool Surf Wagon: 1954 Chevrolet Station Wagon

Great Shape! 1972 Buick GS 350 Convertible

Daily Driver: 1967 Volvo 122S

By 1967 the Volvo Amazon, or what was known in the U.S. as the 122S, looked old. Its styling was a 1950’s holdover dating to its 1956 introduction. But it is an iconic look that was replicated 660K+ times… more»
