Blast From The Past: 1956 Chevrolet Drag Car

When I first spied this ’56 Chevy hardtop, I thought I was transported back in time and was viewing a photo spread from a 1960’s edition of Hot Rod Magazine.  And there is a good reason for that as… more»

5.0 V8 Included: 1929 Ford Model A Roadster

Three Pedal Performer: 1994 Ford Taurus SHO

Super High Output! What’s not to like? Finding a new domestic sedan in the late ’80s that was only available with a manual transmission was a total throwback – in a good way! Kudos to Ford for the Taurus… more»

348/4-Speed: 1958 Chevrolet Impala Hardtop

The 1958 Impala led a bit of a star-crossed existence for many years. Coming on the heels of the uber-successful tri-fives (’55-’57), it was a radical change, to say the least. The “And now for my next trick…” proffering… more»

Rare Convertible: 1981 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo

1965 Ford Mustang Fastback Project
