Original Paint: 1962 Chevrolet Corvair Greenbrier

I’ll come right out and say it: I think that the quirky Corvair Greenbrier is the best-looking small van ever built. Sure, the Econoline and A100 are also offbeat, fun-looking little haulers, but the two-tone paint on this Chevy… more»

Affordable Mopar? 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

Dodge introduced the Challenger in 1970, the last of the automakers to join the “pony car” movement. It was initially successful at nearly 77,000 units in the first year, though that was a fraction of what the market leader… more»

Big Block 1967 Chevrolet Caprice in Royal Plum

46k Cream Puff! 1993 Cadillac Seville

Having touted front wheel drive as a luxury feature since launching its 1967 Eldorado, Cadillac hit a home run with the fourth-generation (1992 to 1997) Seville. This 1993 Cadillac Seville in Warsaw, New York shows only about 46,000 miles,… more»
