Blank Canvas: 1968 Dodge A108 Van

Stored 20 Years: 1974 Chrysler Newport Custom

Last Gasp: 1991 Trabant 1.1 Limousine

Jet Ski Ancestor? 1969 Hydro-Cycle Barracuda

Drydocked in this garage for who knows how long is a mostly unheard-of personal watercraft that I’d bet most of you haven’t seen before. It’s a first for me, too. Said to be both the “grandfather of the Jet… more»

One-Family-Owned: 1984 Buick Riviera 307 V8
