53K Miles: 1986 Honda Accord LX-I Survivor

Christine Or Restore? 1958 Plymouth Belvedere
Well, this ain’t no Christine, that’s fo’ sho’! But being a 1958 Plymouth Belvedere that has managed to survive 68 long years is an impressive enough feat. Chevies and Fords from this era are still pretty plentiful, but a… more»
