About Scotty Gilbertson

I've always been a car nut. I drove my parents crazy by calling out cars from the backseat of our '56 Pontiac as a kid, and I never grew out of that. I still do that when I'm in the car by myself now, which I am for 30,000 miles a year as a former architect and now architectural photographer. I love a good road trip and I'm usually on one about 150-200 days a year. I've gravitated toward unusual vehicles in the last decade or so. I love everything related to all vehicles old, new, big, and small, cars, trucks, motorcycles, snowmobiles, motorhomes, and boats powered by gas, diesel, hybrid, EV, pedal, etc. Any vehicle that's small and unusual catches my eye, like the CitiCar or Elcar Zagato, but I've recently switched from cars to motorcycles and pickups for the most part. I'm of the school of thought that any real car guy or gal can appreciate any vehicle, even if they personally have no interest in it at all.

5-Speed Survivor: 2000 Mazda B2500 SX

Batman’s Commuter: 1988 Buick LeSabre T-Type

I get a serious Batman vibe with this 1988 Buick LeSabre T-Type. I know, Batman driving a Buick? It has to be the all-black scheme, other than the wheels, which today would be black, as would the windows, the… more»

One-Year-Only: 1975 Plymouth Road Runner
