V8 Swap: 1936 Buick Roadmaster
“Styled for a party but powered for a thrill” is the opening line of Buick’s 1936 Roadmaster brochure. Well, being one of Buick’s top dogs that year, and riding on a 131″ wheelbase, one could have quite the rolling… more»
Honest Driver: 1986 Mercury Grand Marquis
One of the more interesting cars to find for sale is an older model that hasn’t been exactly pampered but still remains in excellent condition. This is a situation that seems to materialize on the West Coast quite often,… more»
Yard Find: 1970 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow

49K-Mile Barn Find: 1970 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight
About as light a blue as you’ll find on a vehicle, this 1970 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Luxury Sedan is Azure Blue. It almost looks white in some of the photos, or maybe because I’m used to white looking blue when… more»
Bargain 1989 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur?

Mid-Sized Luxury! 1978 Lincoln Versailles
Named after the opulent French palace of Versailles, Lincoln’s mid-sized luxury car offered buyers the royal treatment in a smaller package competing with Cadillac’s similarly Franco-inspired Seville. This 1978 Lincoln Versailles in Canby, Oregon accumulated all of its claimed… more»
11k Mile 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V Bill Blass Edition
I’ve heard people say before that too much of a good thing is sometimes not rewarding in the long run, but that’s really not the case at all for the Lincoln Mark V. Production ran between 1977 and 1979,… more»
A Big Visual Statement! 1985 Rolls-Royce Corniche

Restored Toronado: 1991 Oldsmobile Trofeo
Is there a new (2025) two-door luxury coupe made by an American car company? I can’t think of one. The last two-door Cadillac was the 2019 ATS and CTS, and 2019 was six years ago already, pre-covid, pre-everything, it… more»
32K-Mile Luxury Roadster: 2004 Cadillac XLR

Driver-Quality 327 V8: 1966 Rambler Ambassador
The Ambassador was American Motors’ fanciest passenger automobile from 1958 to 1974. In the first half of the 1960s, it was more like a swanky Classic that rode on a mid-size platform in 1963-64. But for 1965-66, AMC would… more»
