Only 14K Miles! 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

Another Convertible? 1957 Ford Anglia

Convertible Extraordinaire: 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook
What’s more interesting, the cars or the owners? Owners often don’t tell you much about themselves, heck sometimes they don’t tell you much about the car either and leave us struggling to figure out what they’re selling. This 1951… more»

Super Survivor: 1975 Oldsmobile Toronado
“This is a land yacht you can enjoy” opines the seller of this 1975 Oldsmobile Toronado. It’s a beast alright and while a progeny of its 1966 origin, it’s pretty well removed from that landmark car at the same… more»

What A Biarritz! 1984 Cadillac Eldorado
This 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz caught my attention for all the wrong reasons. I used to make fun of cars like this and considered them to be pretentious posers. The mention of the 4.1-liter engine drew me in too… more»

Cobra Jet 4-Speed! 1973 Ford Ranchero GT

Hot Rod Potential? 1963 Chevrolet Chevy II Wagon
