Running Fishbowl Project: 1977 AMC Pacer
American Motors was the little company that wasn’t afraid to try something different to succeed. One such initiative was the 1975 to 1980 Pacer compact, which was somewhat round in appearance, resembling a “jellybean”. The car’s big claim to… more»

As Good As It Gets! 1947 Oldsmobile Dynamic 76
Many postwar (’46-’48) domestic cars were really carry-overs from the pre-war era. Oldsmobile’s big metamorphosis occurred in ’49 with modern (read: less frumpy) designs and an all-new overhead valve V8 engine. In ’47, however, we still had yesteryear designs… more»

39k Mile Time Machine: 1961 Ford Galaxie 500
From 1959 to 1974, the Ford Galaxie 500 did battle with the Chevrolet Impala. In 1961, the Galaxie was a step up from the Fairlane, which would become a mid-size car in 1962. The styling was revised in ‘61… more»

1964 Plymouth Fury Project (“Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday’)
After an ill-fated downsizing that saw full-size Plymouth sales slump to 43,000 Fury’s in 1962, the make had bounced back by 1964 with a tally of more than 115,000 cars (though still far below that of Chevy or Ford)…. more»

Too Many Doors? 1971 Plymouth Fury III Project

52k-Mile Garage Find: 1979 Chevrolet Caprice Classic
It’s possible that the “sheer look” of GM’s downsized B-Body of 1977 was styling chief Bill Mitchell’s last great achievement. Even today, it looks better than a run-of-the-mill full-size car has a right to, and the racy backlite of… more»

Ran When Parked: 1965 Plymouth Fury III
