Chevrolet Power! 1976 Avanti II 33k Miles

Seldom do automobiles get a second chance when their manufacturer falters. But the Avanti is one of them, an iconic product from Studebaker that was only around for two model years (1963 and 1964). When Studebaker’s U.S. auto production… more»

43k Miles: 1969 Chevrolet Nova

Maybe fifteen or twenty years ago, I would see an elderly woman driving around town in a clean ’68 Chevy II sedan, sometimes on snowy, salty days. This always raised a few questions: How many miles were on it?… more»
