63k Mile Survivor: Rare 1967 Morris Mini Estate Wagon

Well, here’s another cool car I’ve never seen up close and personal. That’s because not many were ever exported to the States and the seller guesstimates there may be less than 10 of these Morris Mini Estate Wagons currently… more»

35 Years In Storage: 1956 Jaguar XK140 MC Roadster

Fordor Driver: 1939 Ford DeLuxe V8 Sedan

Here’s an interesting one. It’s being listed as “mostly original” and I guess you could say it’s also “mostly” a 1939 Ford since it’s sporting black ’40 Ford headlight rims on the front fenders. But there’s just something fun… more»

Survivor Driver: 1968 Ford Fairlane 500 Convertible

Here’s a presentable “survivor driver” that could be a fun convertible to just drive around in and enjoy. It’s not perfect by any means, but to be 53 years old, this low-production drop top (only 3,422 were made) appears… more»

1 of 1,392: 1955 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe Convertible

1955 was a watershed year for Detroit in regards to styling, new engines, dazzling colors and interiors, and sales. A record year with almost eight million automobiles sold. By comparison, the 1954 Chrysler looks frumpy compared to the all… more»

Rare Automatic Equipped 1969 MGC GT

I remember seeing a few of these three-door hatchbacks on the road as a teenager (along with the cool-looking fastback Triumph GT6) but didn’t know the story behind them or their rarity. Only 1,773 GTs were sold in the… more»

Supercharged Garage Find: 1951 MG TD

Growing up as a car-nut kid in the ’60s, these MG TD’s always turned my head. They looked like nothing else on the road (or coming out of Detroit). Their separate headlights, vertical grill, thin cutaway doors, running boards,… more»

59k-Mile Time Capsule: 1975 Lincoln Continental Mark IV

One-Family Owned: Grandpa’s 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup Truck

Check out this “Grandpa’s Daily Driver” 1949 Chevy 3100 pickup from Kansas. Based on all the patina, dings, scrapes, scratches, and other personality traits, I’m guessing it spent most of its working life on Grandpa’s farm. The seller, who bought… more»

Long Roof Survivor: 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Custom Safari

I’m a softy for 1960 Pontiacs. My dad owned a ’60 Catalina “flat top” Vista, Uncle Peewee had a ’60 4-door Star Chief, and I even bought a ’60 Catalina Sports Coupe from my twin brother back in the… more»

Low mileage survivor: 1966 Oldsmobile Hearse/Ambulance

Although funeral directors would prefer that you call these vehicles a “funeral coach,” most people still call them a hearse. And we can thank the Brits across the pond for that name. It evolved over there from the word… more»
