BF Auction: 1932 Buick Series 50 Sedan

UPDATE: We spoke with the seller, who confirmed that they have a title for the car and provided us with a photo of it, so we are relisting it for them. Be sure to take another look and cast… more»

58k Miles and Original Paint: 1958 Buick Special

The Special was Buick’s journeyman automobile for many years and held a place in the company’s portfolio for six decades. Its heyday may have been in the 1950s and 1960s, including this 1958 edition, a 2-door Riviera (Buick liked… more»

Straight-8 Survivor: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain

Introduced in 1949, the Chieftain and Streamliner were Pontiac’s first all-new cars since before World War II. The Chieftain would eventually become the GM division’s entry-level automobile and remain in the mix through 1958. This 1951 edition, in a… more»

Hoarder Hidden for 40+Years: 1946 Ford Tudor Sedan

I am not sure how things are where our readers live, but, around here, every new hot rod that shows up is perfect from stem to stern.  It seems unthinkable to many to display a car built from used… more»

Turbocharged Barn Find: 1985 Buick Grand National

This Buick Grand National could be considered a double barn find! It was parked for 18 years before the seller flushed the fluids and replaced a cracked head. They must have forgotten to go through the brakes, though, because… more»

Glass Roof Barn Find! 1954 Ford Crestline Skyliner

The restyled 1955 Ford gets a lot more attention than the 1954 Ford and rightfully so. But, the 54’s, which represented the last year of the ’52-’54 Shoebox 2.0 styling, are good-looking cars that offered a glimpse of what… more»

Stored 30 Years: 1965 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

The Corvette has remained a staple of the Chevrolet model range for over seven decades, and it would be hard to picture a dealership that didn’t stock a Corvette today. It has enjoyed a long and successful run, and… more»

Freshly Refurbished: 1981 DMC DeLorean

It is sometimes challenging to separate a legendary car from an iconic one. The difference can be subtle, but few will argue that classics like the Pontiac GTO and Chevrolet Corvette are genuine legends. They provide stunning styling with… more»

Easy Revival: 1957 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer

The Custom Royal enjoyed a short run in the 1950s as Dodge’s range-topping model. It is a prime example of Virgil Exner’s “forward look” design philosophy, a styling trend that forever changed American automotive design. Cars no longer needed… more»

Drive Anywhere! 1960 Studebaker Hawk

Being an “independent” automobile manufacturer in the middle of the 20th Century was tough. American Motors and Studebaker-Packard both knew how hard it was to compete, both the result of mergers in the 1950s. One of Studebaker’s most enduring… more»

Tri-Power Project: 1965 Pontiac GTO

The GTO remained part of Pontiac’s LeMans range in 1965 but did not receive standalone model status until the following year. That makes our feature car one of the last of that breed, and the first owner’s decision to… more»

Stash Of Over 20 Classic Chevrolets For Sale

When you run across a car collection, you’ll find that it often focuses on a type of car, a particular brand, or even a specific model. In the case of this assortment in Gretna, Nebraska, it’s comprised of 1961… more»

21k Original Miles: 1992 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

This 1992 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 ticks many of the right boxes for someone seeking a high-end classic. The new owner would probably tackle a few minor imperfections, but none are bad enough to be deal-breakers. Its presentation is extremely… more»

Worth Saving? 1971 Ford Bronco Project

Ford Broncos are hot! Old ones were already gaining in popularity when Ford launched their new iteration of the famous model. That threw things through the roof, but nothing beats the original. The first generation Bronco featured a short… more»

Wrecked 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback

Before this 1965 Ford Mustang got into a rather nasty accident, it was probably a sharp-looking ride. Someone had fixed it up like something of a Shelby GT350 tribute, though the colors are wrong and the drivetrain was once… more»

Cheap Wheels: 1976 Chevrolet Nova Concours

The Chevy II/Nova was a long-running compact in the Chevrolet line-up (1962 through 1979). It was a “conventional” rear-wheel-drive vehicle with a water-cooled engine in the front (unlike the Chevy Corvair). The car was redesigned for the final time… more»
