Hot Rod Wagon! 1965 Chevrolet Bel Air

  Nothing’s more true to Hot Rodding than taking a car and making it your own. Though completely optional in rodding, this car’s deviations from stock would offend few. The engine and transmission swap on this 1965 Chevrolet Bel… more»

No Reserve Royale: 1977 GMC Motorhome

The GMC Motorhome continues to be a fan favorite, largely for its attractive design and novel features, including the easy-to-service Oldsmobile powerplant and front wheel drive configuration. This example is yet another project that won’t see completion, which seems… more»

Low Mileage Time Capsule: 1974 Dodge Dart

Needlenose Cab: 1972 Peterbilt 351

Perhaps one of the most recognized tractor trailer cabs is the Peterbilt 281/351, otherwise known as a “Needlenose.” The truck was, in my opinion, synonymous of the trucking industry, a design that was seen on the rolling plains and… more»

Original and Complete: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible
