44K-Mile One-Owner 1985 Buick Skylark

No, this 1985 Buick Skylark isn’t being shown here because it’s pumpkin spice season, it’s here because it’s a one-owner time capsule with under 44,000 miles on it. Ok, I admit to liking orange vehicles so maybe there’s a… more»

GTO Alternative: 1966 Pontiac LeMans 389 Tri-Power 4-Speed

Pontiac was the catalyst behind the muscle car movement and launched the GTO in 1964. It essentially was a LeMans that was built to go fast. Really fast. This third year LeMans from 1966 appears to have been inspired… more»

Buy Or Else: 1973 Plymouth Road Runner 440

The Road Runner was launched in 1968 as Plymouth’s low-budget entry in the mid-size muscle car market. With increased emissions controls, higher insurance rates, and the soon-to-come OPEC oil embargo, by 1973 the Road Runner had lost some of… more»

Indy Pace Car? 1950 Mercury Convertible

This is a nice find, a lead-sled rag-top! And best of all, based on its flanks, it appears that this example was an Indy pace car for the 1950 Indianapolis 500 race! But there is no claim to that… more»

Three Carbs! 1957 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday Coupe

The Olds 98 2-door hardtop (aka Holiday Coupe) might just be the best looking of all the cars built in 1957 with its three-piece rear glass and sweeping long trunk deck. When new, this car had a commanding presence… more»

Every Option: 1991 Oldsmobile Troféo

No Reserve: 58k Mile 1959 Edsel Ranger

The Edsel cost Ford hundreds of millions of dollars and is perhaps the automobile industry’s biggest failure. Not because it was a bad car, it was just the wrong car introduced at the wrong time. Famous for its horse… more»

Full-Size Hot Rod: 1963 Chrysler Newport

Mysterious Barn Find: 1964 Mercury Comet

At first, the Comet was Mercury’s version of the Ford Falcon, but it would be built for two years before any Mercury badging appeared on the car. That changed in 1962 when it began a full-fledged Mercury offering. The… more»

No Reserve Super SUV: 1992 GMC Typhoon

GMC only produced 2,497 examples of the Typhoon for the 1992 model year. That makes them a rare classic that combines impressive performance levels in an SUV with more than a touch of luxury. This one is a tidy… more»
