American Classic Cars

Solid Project Car: 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria

Sometimes it’s just not fair for Ford fans. The 1955 and 1956 Fords were, by anyone’s standards, beautiful cars, especially the Victoria hardtops and Sunliner convertibles. Of course, Chevrolet had to come along with their Tri-Fives and steal the… more»

90s Prestige: 1991 Cadillac Brougham

The Cadillac Brougham (called a Fleetwood here, but I’m fairly certain that namesake had been dropped by this point) is one of the last great American rear-wheel drive sedans of the 80s and 90s. Obviously, Cadillac still makes rear… more»

Stored 60 Years: 1954 Ford Crestline

Ford’s top-of-the-line model for 1952 to 1954 was the Crestline. Sources indicate that the Fairlane didn’t replace it until 1955. So, we’re not sure why the seller is calling this a ’54 Fairlane. In any event, it’s a 4-door… more»

It’s Dynamic! 1966 Oldsmobile 88 Convertible

No Reserve Big Block GTS: 1969 Dodge Dart

Well, to cut to the chase, this big-block-powered ’69 Dodge Dart GTS wasn’t born with its current powerplant. It is, however, according to its VIN, a genuine GTS variant – one of my favorites from Mopar’s performance years. And… more»
