The Kids Don’t Ride It: 1977 Honda Z50 Mini Trail
A late entry to the sales race, Honda owned the motorcycle market by 1977, at least as far as imports went. There were other makes, of course, but for small-cc bikes, there weren’t many that had as much of… more»

1972 Plymouth Valiant Scamp 2-Door Hardtop
As faded as a Hollywood star/starlet, this 1972 Plymouth Valiant Scamp 2-Door Hardtop is, in my opinion, one of the best body styles that Plymouth had in this era. The front bumper could have been a bit smaller, but… more»
