Searching our archives, I’ve come across quite a few full-size 1962 Buicks, such as today’s discovery by T.J., a LeSabre four-door sedan. None, however, can claim only 29K miles of experience. The seller proclaims, “29,349 documented original miles,” so… more»

Original Paint Survivor: 1972 Ford F-100 Ranger XLT

Nomad-Like? 1965 Chevelle 300 Wagon

Canadian Survivor: 1965 Plymouth Savoy
The Savoy nameplate was applied to Plymouth’s full-size cars in the U.S. from 1951 to 1964 and usually signified the entry-level model. But for the new C-body Plymouths built in Windsor, Ontario, in 1965 for consumption within Canada, the… more»

Chevy Nova Sibling: 1974 Oldsmobile Omega
The 1973-79 Oldsmobile Omega was a Chevrolet Nova in disguise (and a thin disguise it was). While the front clip and taillights were different in the first generation (1973-74), even the base six-cylinder engine was sourced from Chevy. This… more»

75K Mile Modern Classic: 2000 Audi TT Quattro
The 1990s and 2000s were great decades for Audi styling in general, highlighted perhaps by the cute little TT, which has (in my opinion) some of the most handsome styling of any readily attainable 21st-century car. I recall when… more»

No Reserve: 1997 Lotus Elise
“Simplify, then add lightness.” It was the phrase that encapsulated Colin Chapman’s design philosophy, and served Lotus well years after his passing when it released the Elise. Its engine produces a relatively modest power figure, but the low curb… more»

Unusually Repowered: 1937 Packard Convertible

Unrestored Sedan: 1964 Chevrolet Bel Air
Some would-be interested buyers will probably quickly write this 1964 Chevrolet Bel Air off, simply because it has twice the number of doors as suits the taste of many collectors. That’s understandable, as those sixties examples of the two-door… more»
