The 1972 Chevy Chevelle was the last year in the car’s second generation (that had begun in 1968). A whole new design was coming in 1973, featuring the “Colonnade” styling that would be shared by all the other GM… more»

Only 2,552 Built: 1969 Ford Torino GT Convertible
Think about the last car show you attended this summer (if you didn’t, get out there!). Certainly you saw plenty of Chevelles, more than a few GTOs, a few Cutlasses and 442s, probably a Charger or two. How many… more»

1-of-816: 1969 Ford Ranchero Rio Grande
Vehicle manufacturers occasionally produce what I call well-kept secrets. These are vehicles that don’t sell in significant numbers because the company doesn’t promote them heavily. The 1969 Ford Ranchero Rio Grande is a perfect example, as it barely rated… more»

Leather Trim? 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible
