Unlikely Survivor: 22K Mile 1985 Mercury Cougar

Marine Find: 1958 Whirlwind Wooden Runabout

Sometimes we use one, not necessarily related, noun to describe another. For example, “That V8, two-seater, something or other, pulls like a freight train”. Or, “Any way you cut it, that 74 Mercury Grand Marquis is a boat“. And… more»

1953 Chevrolet Corvette Prototype Seats Worth $90k?

No Reserve Beauty: 1937 Packard Business Coupe

Ford V8 Power! 1965 Sunbeam Tiger

For whatever reason, I gravitate towards the Sunbeam Alpine/Tiger, much more so than I do towards other British sports cars and it’s not necessarily due to the Tiger’s version V8 engine. It is probably more to do with the… more»

M-Code 351 Equipped: 1970 Ford Torino GT

Sliding Pillar Suspension: 1966 Morgan DHC

Parked 32 Years Ago: 1970 Dodge Charger 500

Any way you look at it, the second-generation Dodge Charger (1968-1970) was a fantastic looking car. Though hyped in films by the likes of “Bullit”, “Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry” and the TV series, “The Dukes of Hazzard”, the Charger… more»

Hemi Powered! 1961 Daimler SP 250

What’s a Daimler SP250? I’d never heard of it and assumed that it was a product from Germany’s famed Daimler AG. Nope. Is it notable? It was voted the ugliest car at the 1959 New York Motor show, so… more»

Sporty And Stylish: 1971 Saab Sonett III

Certain auto brands conjure different images. Saab, in particular, is one that recalls small rounded, quirky two-cycle, compact cars or more mature 900, 9-3 and 9-5 sedans, coupes and convertibles. Unfortunately, today Saab doesn’t conjure much of any thought… more»
