Yesterday, we featured a very nice 1973 Gremlin on the site, one of those quirky AMC offerings that’s aged well through the years. Perhaps even more of an oddity that followed from the brand was their Pacer, which was… more»

Sporty Fresh Plum Hatchback: 1973 AMC Gremlin X

Factory Air: 454-Powered 1974 GMC Sprint

11k Mile 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Bill Blass Edition

Former Cop Car? 1962 Chevrolet Biscayne
Debuting in 1958 (and continuing through 1972), the Biscayne was Chevrolet’s least expensive full-size automobile. With the barest of creature comforts, the Biscayne was popular with fleet purchases, such as for taxi cabs and police cars. That would explain… more»

340 Powered 1969 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible
1969 was the final year before the Plymouth Barracuda changed its personality entirely, severing all its remaining ties with the Valiant as the third-generation cars were introduced in 1970. I understand all the hoopla and desirability generated by the… more»

Driver-Quality 327 V8: 1966 Rambler Ambassador
The Ambassador was American Motors’ fanciest passenger automobile from 1958 to 1974. In the first half of the 1960s, it was more like a swanky Classic that rode on a mid-size platform in 1963-64. But for 1965-66, AMC would… more»

63k Miles? 1972 Buick Electra 225 Custom
Some old-line Buick fans must have been upset when the marketing folks from Flint decided to axe the venerated “Roadmaster” moniker and replace it with “Electra” in 1959. Electra? Agamemnon’s daughter? Orestes’ sister? Regardless of its attachment to Greek… more»
