Scrap Heap Or Project: 1930 Ford Model A

This is the kind of thing that hurts us all. This Ford Model A was last driven in 1964 and was then left outdoors for the remainder of its life. This is one rough Ford, but hot rod builders… more»

Deal of the Week? 1950 DeSoto Deluxe Club Coupe

The pictures of this 1962 Rambler Classic almost look ethereal, with plenty of dust signifying that it’s been in storage for a long, long time. It’s listed for sale here on eBay at no reserve, with an opening bid… more»

Some Assembly Required: 1941 Hudson Traveler
