60-Year Survivor: 1965 AMC Classic 770

Survivor Sedan: 1969 Buick Skylark Custom

Twilight Blue is a great color for this 1969 Buick Skylark Custom four-door sedan, it’s positively regal (cough). It’s not a coveted two-door hardtop, convertible, or even a four-door hardtop sedan, but the regular (post) four-door sedan was what… more»

50K-Miles: 1980 Subaru DL Front-Drive Wagon

In Subaru lingo, I don’t think DL stands for “Decontented-Leone”, but that’s basically what the DL models were compared to the fancier GL hatchbacks, four-door sedans, BRATs, and station wagons. This 1980 Subaru DL wagon, sometimes known as a… more»
