Laguna Clone: 1973 Chevrolet El Camino SS
The El Camino enjoyed a long run at Chevrolet as a “gentleman’s pickup,” a truck based on a passenger car platform. For 1959 and 1960, it was a full-size transport, while shifting to a mid-size set-up in 1964 through… more»

Triple Finned Chrysler Package Deal
Chrysler redesigned its cars in 1960, treating them to unibody construction (was that a treat given their propensity to rust?). From 1959 to 1961, the Windsor was the entry-level model (the name was retired in the U.S. after 1961)…. more»

31K-Miles? 1978 Dodge Macho Power Wagon 4×4

Brazilian Inline-Six: 1988 Ford L8000 Dump Truck

A Perfect Panama! 1954 Packard Clipper
“America’s newest glamour car is this dream-lined beauty,” so opines the 1954 Packard Clipper “Panama” sales brochure. It’s a powerful but safe statement at the same time. And since I’ve covered a couple of Packards as of late (a… more»

Kammback Survivor: 1973 Chevrolet Vega Estate Wagon
The Vega was Chevrolet’s first foray into subcompact automobiles. From 1971 to 1977, GM sold more than two million gas sippers, although the car was initially flawed (overheating engines, premature rusting). The “Kammback” was the 2-door station wagon edition,… more»
