Clean Cali Pickup: 1971 Chevy El Camino

What is it about El Caminos? I feel like 9 times out of 10, they are used up and tired, often not worth restoring despite oozing with the cool factor. Maybe it’s because they doubled as both workhorses and… more»

Bull’s-Eye: 1975 Lamborghini Urraco

The history of Lamborghini is a story that many of us are familiar with. After Ferruccio Lamborghini created his first car in 1963, Lamborghini was a prestigious brand, which was far more exclusive than many of the Italian automakers…. more»

Factory “Flamingo” pink with tail fins, this 1958 Chrysler Windsor screams the 1950s. Although a great deal of time has passed since 1958, this Windsor is an interesting original that isn’t too shabby. This body style of the Windsor was only… more»
