Salute It Or Drive It? 1928 Studebaker Dictator

Times change and I’m constantly reminded by many that I have to change with them. I get it and don’t resist the concept but sometimes it’s a tough row to hoe. There are other times, though, when the choice… more»

Cleans Up Well: 1953 Chevrolet BelAir

I have a tendency to lump the ’53 and ’54 Chevy together because they’re similar and so so different from the ’55, the first leg of the iconic Tri-Five stool. And ’53s, like this top-drawer BelAir, get short shrift… more»

One Family, 97 Years! 1926 Chevrolet One Ton

Roof Not Jumped On! 1950 Nash Ambassador

Looking like it has taken a trip to the sandblaster, this 1950 Nash Ambassador is wearing some pretty peculiar patina. It’s especially noteworthy when spread across this Nash’s very distinctive streamlined, Airflyte shape. The seller makes a big deal… more»

A Traveling Travelall: 1958 International A110

The “Lumberer” is how I’d refer to this early SUV from International. It’s big, heavy, and clunky looking but was an effective all-purpose hauler from that halcyon automotive year of 1958. It is said to have lived its life… more»

No Reserve: 1985 Peugeot 505 Turbo/5-Speed

The two hardest things about a Peugeot are remembering how to spell it and remembering the last time that I saw one. I assumed that the French-Italian-American-German-British mashup known as Stellantis would bombard us with those and Citroens, but… more»

Old Elegance: 1949 Kaiser Virginian

Here’s one that I definitely missed, a 1949 Kaiser Virginian. I’m familiar with Kaiser-Frazer and have written posts about both sides of the house but have never heard of the “Virginian” until I stumbled upon this tip that was… more»

Big And Bold: 1963 Pontiac Bonneville Drop Top

Greatness In Green: 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix

Well, it’s green which is a great start for me. It’s likely Wilderness Green, and this 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix looks marvelous. From its inception in ’62, the Grand Prix was a special Pontiac but made that much more… more»

Well Documented! 1969 Chevrolet Caprice

I’ve always had a “thing” for full-size Chevies. My first was a ’69 Impala which shares very few differences with a Caprice, such as today’s 1969 Caprice find. I’ve also owned both a ’66 Impala (my favorite!) and a… more»

Perfectly Restored Futura! 1961 Ford Falcon

There was a time when Ford’s new for 1960 Falcon wasn’t taken seriously. Many considered them to be throw-away commodity cars – buy it-use it-wear it out-ditch it-buy another. But Ford tapped into a large and nascent market managing… more»

Riviera Hardtop! 1954 Buick Special

A Buick, like this superb 1954 Riviera, was always a Buick! They consistently were no-nonsense, near-luxury, stout performers. Back in the ’70s, a garage co-worker and I were talking about the collection of blown-up or worn-out engines that we… more»

Bring In The Clones! 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass/442

Looks a lot like a 1972 Oldsmobile 442, right? Well the seller, fortunately, cuts to the chase and tells us that it’s not, it’s a clone and that’s appreciated. In the world of collectible cars, I have never had… more»

OK, Chevy C-10s and Ford F-150s, get outta the way, there’s a new collectible pick-up truck to consider, in this case, a beautifully restored 1959 International B120. The level of restoration here is extensive, so let’s look it over… more»
