One of the primary drivers for my subject car selection process is the frequency of write-ups. In the past dozen or so years, I can only find 2 Barn Finds write-ups on a Nissan President. I can’t say if… more»

Family Hauler: 1979 Jeep Cherokee

Winter Project: 1962 Studebaker Champ
I’m often drawn to cars and trucks from some of the less popular American automakers. I’d primarily contribute that to my affinity for the less common, but I maintain they have appeal otherwise. This 1962 Studebaker Champ, for example,… more»

One Owner California Survivor: 1972 Capri
When I hear “Capri” my mind immediately goes to the Fox-body generation that was built from 1979 to 1986. Maybe those a little younger than me first think of the 2-door roadster built from 1991 to 1994. Even though… more»
