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»

Land Yacht Survivor! 1979 Lincoln Continental Coupe
“Batten down them hatches, we’re about to set sail!” This 1979 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe is one titanic-sized car- and it only has two doors! Being a ’79 puts it the end of an era as Lincoln hopped on… 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»

Last Rear Wheel Driver: 1966 Cadillac Eldorado
Before there was the fabulous, front-wheel-drive Cadillac Eldorado, there was the Cadillac Eldorado. It’s a storied model name that dates to 1952 though many will associate it with the revolutionary front-wheel drive version that debuted in the 1967 model… more»

Noteworthy Nova: 1962 Chevrolet Chevy II 400
We cover 1962 vintage Chevrolets with regularity but they’re almost always full-size cars, Corvettes, and occasionally, Corvairs. As for the newly introduced Chevy II, not so much so. As a matter of fact, I had to go back three… more»
