Plain Jane Brawn: 1970 Buick GS 455 Stage 1

Since Cadillac didn’t offer a muscle car in the 1960s/1970s, the job of offering one with both performance and luxury fell to Buick. And they did it admirably beginning in 1965 with the Gran Sport, shortened to GS in… more»

Almost Finished: 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible

Pair of Indy Pace Cars: 1979 Ford Mustangs

The Ford Mustang had the honor of pacing the field at the Indianapolis 500 about six weeks after its introduction in 1964. 15 years would pass before that happened again, this time with the new Fox body the Mustang… more»

Surf’s Up! 1951 Chevrolet Styleline Wagon

Often, the seller of an old and forlorn station wagon will suggest that it would make a “cool surf wagon” or some similar undertaking as its next station in life. In the case of this 1951 Chevrolet Styleline, it… more»

The Best? 1967 Ford Bronco

Although the seller doesn’t make the claim, I often ponder what it takes for a classic to be the best of a particular model. That is the one posed by this 1967 Ford Bronco because its presentation and overall… more»

Dakar Yellow Clownshoe: 2000 BMW M Coupe

In BMW land, Dakar Yellow is one of those colors that gets enthusiasts’ blood pumping. First of all, fast, yellow cars just ooze speed in every way possible; heck, there’s even a paint code called “Speed Yellow” that you… more»

One-Owner 1959 Chevrolet Biscayne

I always place great store in long-term ownership of any classic. Vehicles with that history are generally well-maintained and treated respectfully, which explains how they’ve survived. This 1959 Chevrolet Biscayne takes that theory to a higher level. Until recently,… more»

Simply Stunning: 1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

Owning a vehicle that allows the entire family to experience the classic motoring experience offers a wonderful bonding opportunity, and this 1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser is ideal for that role. It presents superbly, and its third-row seating provides accommodation… more»

BF Exclusive: 1967 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser

The Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser is one of those oddly iconic vehicles. It isn’t well known because of its performance or rarity, no it’s well known because so many of them served as hard-working family haulers. If you grew up… more»

Loads of Character: 1929 Ford Model A Open Cab Pickup

Ford’s Model A – the “second” series made from 1928 through 1932 – was stupendously popular. Most of us know its genesis and evolution, but less well-known is how the intense sales success of this model as well as… more»

Unibody Luxury: 1968 Chrysler Imperial Crown

434 SBC + Tremec 5-Speed! 1962 Chevrolet Nova

I’ve long been a fan of the Chevrolet Nova, especially the third-generation cars, but the early models sort of have a charm all their own and when you run across one that’s been given all the right stuff there’s… more»

Alternative Muscle? 1967 Ford Fairlane 390 GTA

In spite of the spectacular popularity of Chevrolet’s ’66 and ’67 SS396 Chevelle, I was first aware of Ford’s ’66 and ’67 Fairlane GT and still have a thing for them. I’m not sure if it is the “fleet-0f-foot”… more»

Custom Opera Coupe: 1982 Cadillac Seville

Cadillac reintroduced the Seville nameplate in 1976 in hopes of creating a smaller luxury car that would attract younger buyers. It sold well enough but missed its mark of putting more affluent “thirtysomethings” behind the steering wheel. So, the… more»

1 Of 114 In Big Bad Blue: 1970 AMC AMX

The AMC AMX debuted in 1968 as something of a companion to the company’s new pony car, the Javelin. But it was a GT-style 2-seater that may have tried to give the Chevy Corvette a run for its money…. more»
