56k Original Miles: 1960 Ford Galaxie Town Sedan
Simply stunning feels like the right words to describe this 1960 Ford Galaxie Town Sedan. It might feature more doors than some readers would prefer, but its presentation and the optional V8 under the hood more than compensate for… more»

1964 Chevrolet C10 Stepside Short-Bed 4-Speed
I believe this 1964 Chevrolet C10 Stepside short-bed pickup was originally Yuma Yellow, or Dark Yellow, based on the color inside the engine compartment. I’m always bummed to see a color change, but it appears that this truck needs… more»

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme was the best-selling car in America. I, too, was taken in by its good looks and bought one in 1983 (it’s one of those cars I wish I… more»

Chevrolet Caprice Grille? 1986 Pontiac Parisienne
This one is a head-scratcher for me. The seller has this car listed as a 1986 Pontiac Parisienne, which it sure looks like in every way other than the grille. Most of us remember that GM offered the Parisienne… more»
