Container Find: 1953 Singer 4AD

No Reserve M-Code! 1971 Ford Torino GT

Silver Screen Star: 1972 Ford Gran Torino

Everything comes into its own eventually. I had to admit surprise when the Clint Eastwood smash hit film, Gran Torino, actually featured a ’72 Gran Torino in a supporting role. I guess that makes sense right, otherwise, what’s the… more»

Forest Find: 1961 Ford 2-Door Ranch Wagon

Great Shape! 1972 Buick GS 350 Convertible

When we’re considering 1972 GM A-Body muscle cars, the SS designation too often hogs all of the attention. But there were others to consider, such as Buick’s Skylark-based GS. Too often overlooked, it won’t be in this case as… more»
