12-Year Barn Find: 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Monza

Chevrolet got into the compact car game in 1960 with the new Corvair. Following in the footsteps of the VW Beetle the automobile used an air-cooled engine mounted in the rear. Despite being unorthodox by domestic standards, the little… more»

Single-Family-Owned 1953 Mercury Monterey Woody Wagon

The 1953 Mercury Monterey Woody Wagon was the first wood-paneled station wagon Mercury produced, making it relatively collectible. The cars have a totally beachy vibe, and the way this example was styled exaggerates that. It’s easy to imagine this… more»

455HO Project: 1971 Pontiac Trans Am

Jet Ski Ancestor? 1969 Hydro-Cycle Barracuda

Drydocked in this garage for who knows how long is a mostly unheard-of personal watercraft that I’d bet most of you haven’t seen before. It’s a first for me, too. Said to be both the “grandfather of the Jet… more»
