Seldom Seen Safari: 1974 Pontiac LeMans
GM’s “Colonnade” intermediates (Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac LeMans, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and Buick Century produced from ’73 through ’77) elicit all kinds of comments, both positive and negative and I’m surprised that the positives usually outweigh the negatives. Regardless, a Colonnade… more»

Original Owner! 1977 Chevrolet Nova
Years ago there was a TV show that purported to be a “show about nothing”. Yes, it was a tongue-in-cheek comment but on the surface, today’s find of a 1977 Chevrolet Nova, may seem a bit like a “car… more»

Backyard Project? 1986 Toyota Van/Camino

Barn Find Project: 1969 Pontiac GTO
The story of Pontiac’s vaunted GTO is an oft-told tale, so I won’t revisit it today. This will be more of a “Yikes, what happened here?” GTO story. The seller tells us, “What you see, is what you get”… more»

Low Mileage Specimen: 1974 Plymouth Valiant
“What’s old is new”, or so goes the saying. Take today’s find, a 1974 Plymouth Valiant. It’s one of the 127K four-door sedans assembled that year and was the definition of a budget-based economy car – you know, one… more»

Two Owner Barn Find: 1939 DeSoto DeLuxe
The interesting thing I find about cars from the era that produced this 1939 DeSoto was the various body styles that were available. Our subject car, discovered by T.J. is a two-door touring sedan but others were available and… more»

Survivor Edition: 1988 Pontiac Bonneville
OK, this 1988 Pontiac Bonneville SE (or Bo-Nev-O-Lee as it was often pronounced in the D.C. area back in the ’80s) is a rather un-barn findy kind of car – in other words maybe not you would expect to… more»

Rambler! That’s a name that conjures up different takes on American Motor’s famous budget-minded automobiles. Some of those takes may be outright derision while others can be comical but many are views of admiration. Today’s find, a 1964 Rambler… more»

Aluminum Heads! 1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427
Normally, there would likely be no reason to cover, yet another, 1969 Chevrolet Corvette such as today’s Cleveland, Ohio discovery. We have reviewed a countless number of them here on BF so something would have to be pretty special… more»

A Trophy Winner! 1948 Buick Super Convertible
This one’s a looker! Of course, most cars from this era were, as opposed to jacked-up, homogenized blobosauruses that are commonplace today (yeah Buick, I’m talkin’ about you!) The seller claims this 1948 Super convertible is a “Trophy winner… more»

In the pantheon of ChryCo head stylist Virgil Exner’s over-the-top designs, today’s find of a 1959 Chrysler Windsor, courtesy of T.J., is pretty tame by comparison. Sure, it has memorable tailfins, which many automotive designs possessed in ’59, but… more»
