Dad’s Coupe: 1983 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight

Cheap Luxury: 1968 Chrysler Imperial
Sleek and luxurious, with plenty of style, this 1968 Chrysler Imperial convertible was not a cheap car when it was new, and 1968 was the last year for the convertible Imperial. Although after 48 years, this Imperial looks fairly… more»

Rad Mod Rat Rod: 1969 Chevrolet Suburban C-10
Ok, so it’s not really, technically, a rat rod, but the patina and overall look is at least leaning in that general direction. The sixth-generation Suburban was unique in that it had just one door on the left-hand side… more»

Vet’s Truck: 1964 Ford F100

Swap Time? 1960 Peugeot 403 Estate
