Looking a bit like the victim of a Middle East sand storm, this 1971 Pontiac GTO has the perfect “Roadkill” vibe going on. It’s almost bad enough that one might be inclined to avert their eyes. What in the… more»

Hot Rod In Waiting? 1938 Plymouth DeLuxe
OK, so a little imagination always helps, right? Sometimes you see something like a house or a car and you immediately think, “that’s fugly, no thanks!” So you have to have some vision, and admittedly, not every subject can… more»

First Year V8: 1955 Pontiac Star Chief
Suspenders anyone? Not if your name was Semon “Bunkie” Knudsen. Elevated to the head of GM’s Pontiac division in 1956, his marching orders were to spruce up and modernize Pontiac’s image which meant stainless steel hood suspenders were going… more»

Superb Suburban! 1960 Plymouth Custom Wagon
Wow! That’s all I could say when I first spied this 1960 Plymouth Custom Suburban – these just don’t turn up that often and rarely in this condition. This wagon is stunning in all of its early ’60s Mopar… more»

Calling All Cars! 1978 Dodge Monaco A38
Elwood Blues once famously said, “It’s got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it’s got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It’s a model made before catalytic converters so it’ll run good on regular gas“. He, of… more»

Chevrolet V8 Power? 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon
To the likely chagrin of Ford fans everywhere, finding a ’32 Ford, or other Fords of that era, bowtie powered, is pretty commonplace. It’s somewhat of a head-scratcher as Ford has its own Windsor-based small-block V8 and it’s no… more»

Cop Car Champion? 1958 Studebaker
When I first spied this 1958 Studebaker Champion squad car, I thought of the 1958 song “Beep Beep” by The Playmates. A Studebaker in hot pursuit? Well, maybe, though it seems unlikely. Then again, I’m not familiar with an… more»

Dual Four Barrels! 1957 Cadillac Eldorado
When I wrote this post on a ’66 Cadillac Eldorado I was thinking, as I mentioned, that most would associate the Eldorado name with the ’67 and forward front-wheel-drive version, not one that resembles a regular old Series 62… more»

50 Year Ownership: 1952 Hudson Commodore Six
I find myself more and more drawn to fallen flags such as this 1952 Hudson Commodore Six club coupe. It’s always thought-provoking to think back to a time when so many auto manufacturers dominated the U.S. market and then… more»

Regally Restored: 1969 Dodge Super Bee
I’m going to take a different tack with this 1969 Dodge Super Bee and ask, would you want this car? It was restored 30+ years ago but still looks great! It is being sold by the owner’s son to… more»

Oodles Of Fun! 1960 Chevrolet Bel Air
Pity the poor 1960 full-size Chevrolet. It doesn’t possess the “love it or hate it” crazy, full-on batwing styling of the ’59, nor does it have the svelte, modern lines of the ’61. It’s an in-betweeny! Regardless, over 1.4… more»

OHC Equipped! 1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible
This one is interesting! It’s a first-year Pontiac Firebird convertible and it’s clearly rough around the edges – it will need a ton of work. And it’s not a highly desirable H.O. or a Sprint model but it still… more»

21K Miles! 1990 Ford Thunderbird SC
By 1990, all things automotive were starting to shrug off their ’70s induced malaise as they redeveloped some sporting intentions. Buick hit a grand slam in the ’80s with the Grand National and over at Ford, they had a… more»

Enough Doors? 1995 Cadillac XTS Limousine
There was a time when a multi-door limousine, also known as an “airport limousine” was a pretty common sight. The extra two or four-door make for a rather ungainly appearance but functionality, with some style, was the endgame. Benefactors… more»
