Last week we covered this 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix, a beautiful car with a somehow disappearing opera window -a mystery that I believe is still unsolved. Today, we’re going to review a very similar, one-year older, 1971 Model J… more»

Drive While You Fix! 1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass
Oldsmobile Cutlass station wagons, such as this 1969 example, make regular appearances here on BF. And it’s a bit surprising as the total production was light with only 8,700 copies produced – lasting Olds quality I guess. This one’s… more»

Monterey Mopar: 1970 Plymouth Fury II
Sometimes it’s the at-one-time inconspicuous and obsequious that, with the passage of time, become interesting again. Take this 1970 Plymouth Fury II, Mopar’s competition for the Chevrolet BelAir and Ford Custom 500. Produced in somewhat fewer numbers than either… 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»

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»

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»
