Uncommon Convertible: 1968 Oldsmobile Delmont 88

Polish Import! 1992 BMW 316i Tourer
I’ve always appreciated station wagons, or tourers, as this 1992 BMW 316i is designated. That’s probably because, like many of my generation, I spent so much time, in my youth, trundling around in one. I even learned how to… more»

Rare Bucket Seats? 1961 Buick Electra 225
I must admit that this 1961 Buick Electra 225 convertible is not what my mind conjures when I think of an Electra 225. Long, low, wide, and opulent are some of the adjectives that immediately come to mind, but… more»

Slant-Six Pioneer: 1960 Dodge Dart
Generally, when the Dodge Dart is mentioned, thoughts steer towards the late sixties through mid-seventies A-body compact. But in the beginning, it was a full-size model such as this 1960 Pioneer example. It’s definitely, today, one of those seldom-seen… more»
