Of the three years the Tri-Five Chevrolet body style was available (1955 to 1957), the 1956 is my favorite year. Its appearance seems more aggressive, grown up and wildcard-like to me than the 1955 and 1957 styling. When it’s… more»

Poppy Red Onion: 1962 Corvette Gasser

1 of 56: 1968 Hurst/Olds Post Coupe

Solid Gold Bandit: 1979 Pontiac Trans Am

I’ll admit it: if there is one car that I am completely obsessed with, it is a second-generation Pontiac Trans Am. When I was in kindergarten, my mom used to drop me off in the afternoon in a 1975… more»

Tour-Thru Pop-Up: 1975 Dodge B300 Pop-Up Camper

302 T-5 Swap Candidate: 1982 Mercury Capri

Parked Since 1982: 1935 Desoto Airflow SG

I’ve never understood why Chrysler’s Airflow was so hated by people back in the 1930s; I’ve always dug its aerodynamic styling and unibody construction, which was light years ahead for its time. This particular Airflow is a 1935 Desoto… more»

Factory Big-Block Drop Top: 1966 Chevelle SS396
