Chevy’s Caprice was the company’s top-of-the-line “luxury” car. Plymouth had the Fury III and even more so, the VIP, and some other non-luxury brands that were known for making affordable vehicles were coming out with luxury models. This 40,000-mile… more»
Survivor Cars

Highly Original: 1949 Hudson Commodore 4-Door Sedan
“The New Hudson. Now You’re Face To Face With Tomorrow!” That’s how Hudson described their radically restyled car in 1948 that set the automotive industry on its ear. As an old marketing and advertising guy, I get a kick… more»
61K-Miles: 1967 Ford F-350 And Chinook Camper

350 V8 Survivor: 1970 Chevrolet Caprice
Chevrolet introduced the Caprice in 1965, an upscale version of the Impala. It would be immediately successful, and the first generation was around through 1970 (the same as the rest of the full-size lineup). The Caprice began as a… more»

7k Mile 1995 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
The 1995 Chevy Corvette was produced with the pressure of all the success of previous Corvettes on its shoulders. The car’s styling and driveability performed well under the pressure. Corvettes have always been one of America’s favorite sports cars,… more»
Texas Truck: 1965 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside
Said to be originally from Texas and mostly original, at least on the exterior, this 1965 Chevrolet C-10 Stepside short bed is one cool truck. Two concessions to originality are a power brake booster for a nicer braking experience… more»
Rare Low Mileage 1997 Panoz AIV
The 1997 Panoz AIV is a rare and special car. The company produced less than 200 examples during their production years. Due to the scarcity of these cars, it’s not common to hear much about them in the media,… more»
T-Tops And A V8: 1979 Dodge Magnum XE
The Magnum was the last car built on the B-body platform. B-bodies are a piece of history and ooze late ’60s cool. The cars were sold as either the luxury-oriented XE or the performance version GT. They came with… more»
Cold War Tough: 1953 Dodge M37 Pickup
For most Americans, the Cold War was something they had read about in history books. However, for those who lived through this turbulent and fretful period, the idea of war with the Soviet Union was always one incident away… more»
1962 Rambler American 400 Convertible
Despite the visible rust and that dent on the left front fender, the seller says this 1962 Rambler American 400 Convertible has solid floors and rocker panels. I wish they had shown a photo with the top down but… more»
Original 396 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS
Chevrolet introduced its Fourth Gen Impala in ’65 and continued production for 5 years. The cars underwent a facelift and some design shifts, all resulting in a very appealing platform. This 1966 Chevrolet Impala is a luxury classic with… more»
Sisley Edition: 1991 Fiat Panda 4×4 Five-Speed

Rare In The US: 1975 Lancia Beta Berlina
Looking appropriately Americanized in its first year on sale in the U.S. market, this 1975 Lancia Beta Berlina appears to have been as well-preserved as a 1975 Barolo Riserva Dosio Speciale. I normally don’t compare vehicles to wine, but… more»
Older Restoration: 1959 Plymouth Belvedere
This 1959 Plymouth Belvedere underwent a restoration approximately thirty years ago. The seller feels it deserves a repeat performance, although its respectable presentation and lack of significant rust means that the work could proceed at the buyer’s leisure. It… more»
