1957 Ford Skyliner Conversion: A Unique Edsel Retractable

Ragtop Mopar: 1969 Dodge Dart Convertible

Genuine Fuelie: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible

The word “iconic” is one of the most overused in the classic world, but there is probably none better to describe the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air. The last of the renowned “Tri-Five” range, 1957 marked a high point in… more»

A Big Visual Statement! 1985 Rolls-Royce Corniche

340 Powered 1969 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible

1969 was the final year before the Plymouth Barracuda changed its personality entirely, severing all its remaining ties with the Valiant as the third-generation cars were introduced in 1970.  I understand all the hoopla and desirability generated by the… more»

The full-size Chevy Impala continued to be one of the best-selling U.S.-made cars in 1970. At more than 600,000 units, a GM labor strike prevented the nameplate from coming close to its 1965 record of one million copies. Estimates… more»

49k-Mile Survivor: 1968 Pontiac Bonneville Drop-Top
