First Year Pickup: 1966 Ford Bronco

Airflyte Project: 1949 Nash 600 Super

You know one when you see one! Bathtub, blimp, submarine, capsule, however, you choose to describe it, a 1949 Nash is a definite attention-getter. I have always been fascinated by this new for ’49 design but in a perverse… more»

Fallen Flag: 1954 Hudson Jet-Liner

Only 14K Miles! 1976 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

Last week when I wrote this ’84 Cadillac Eldorado post it may have seemed evident that I wasn’t exactly enthusiastic about the turn of events in Cadillac’s downsizing exercise. To me, a Cadillac was always a big whammer-jammer like… more»

Another Convertible? 1957 Ford Anglia

Convertible Extraordinaire: 1951 Plymouth Cranbrook

Lost Its Storage: 1946 Packard Super Clipper

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

I knew it. I knew if I searched long enough I’d eventually find a four-speed equipped Ford Ranchero like this ’73 GT example. I’ve come across two or three from the fifth generation (’70-’71) but I have never spied… more»
