Always a favorite is Chevrolet’s 1969 Chevells SS396 such as this Daytona Yellow example. Popular in ’69? You bet, 86K saw the light of day. Popular today? You bet again, just cruise the current asking prices on any old… more»

Movie Star! 1954 Aero Willys Lark
We cover Kaiser-Frazer cars here on BF with regularity but what about members from their 1953 acquisition known as Willys-Overland? Again, the Jeep part of Willys is a regular webpage occupant here but the Willys passenger car? Not too… more»

Last Year! 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Convertible
This is the end! No, nothing quite that dramatic, but this 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale convertible is the last of the full-size Oldsmobile convertibles. It became such a disregarded model, that Oldsmobile devoted about an eighteenth of a… more»

Franco-Italian Connection: 1974 Citroen SM
Swoopy! That’s one way to describe this 1974 Citroen SM – the profile reminds me of a backward dust buster. It possesses an unforgettable look and is instantly recalled in the event one hasn’t been spotted in a while…. more»

Dealership Survivor: 1968 Dodge Dart GT
I’ll admit it, I have a “thing” for fourth-generation Dodge Darts, but not all of them, just the ones produced in the first three years (’67-’69). A convertible body style? So much better! Today’s example, is just such a… more»

32K Miles! 1972 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible
One of the central themes that get bandied about, here on BF, has been the steeply ascendent pricing of the usual collectible (and some non-collectible!) suspects, you know, first-gen (’67-’69) Camaros, ’68-’72 GM A-bodies, Shelby Mustangs, anything from Mopar,… more»

No Reserve Hot Rod! 1993 GMC Typhoon
It coulda been a contenda! And this 1993 GMC Typhoon would have been had the General produced more than just 4,600 over a span of just two years (’92 and ’93). But as specialty vehicles go, they’re often short-lived… more»

Dual Quad 409! 1963 Chevrolet Impala
Giddy-Up, Giddy-Up…naw, that’s way too overused a reference for a 409 CI engine-equipped Impala so I’ll dispense with the Beach Boys imagery and just stick to the subject which is a 1963 (yeah, I know, they were singing about… more»

Parked In ’73: 1969 Shelby Mustang GT350
Yikes! The Collins Brothers are at it again this time with what could sorta pass for a 1969 Shelby Mustang GT350. Lacking the cachet of earlier Shelby pony cars, the ’69 and its identical ’70 successor have come into… more»

Still In The Family: 1979 Mercedes-Benz 240D
The good with the bad is how I’d label this 1979 Mercedes 240D. The W123 platform cars, of which this 240D is a member, are, subjectively speaking, some of the finest-looking and best-engineered cars produced by M-B. It’s the… more»

Sunny Day Driver: 1969 4-Speed AMC Javelin
I’ll admit it, AMC’s cars were never high on my list. The reason is simple, back when this 1969 Javelin was built, AMC, the smallest of the domestic auto producers, just got lost in the shuffle. GM was… more»

Gold Standard! 1967 Imperial Crown Coupe
One of the big automotive mysteries, at least in my mind, is why ChryCo’s Imperial fell so short when compared to the sales numbers that Cadillac and Lincoln managed to put up. Take 1967 for example, all three luxury… more»

Murdered Look? 1971 Ford LTD Convertible
I didn’t know what to make of this 1971 Ford LTD convertible at first. It looks like something out of Mad Max, and it’s a pretty rare model – ’71 full-size convertibles only mustered an output of 5,700 units…. more»

Rebuilt Farm Truck: 1990 Dodge D250 4X4
