In 1955, Chrysler launched the first luxury, high-performance muscle car salvo with the iconic C-300. Some called it the “Beautiful Brute” which is an accurate moniker. The totally redesigned ’55 Chrysler coupe was an awesome package of 50’s high… more»
Do Doors Matter? 1965 Chevrolet Impala
That’s the question, will two extra doors on a car known for its dashing two-door hardtop, coke bottle styling adversely affect its value? This ’65 Impala four-door sedan has a lot of positive features in its plus column so… more»
Faded Glory: 1947 Chrysler Town and Country Sedan
When I look at these photographs, it makes me a bit sad because I can imagine what this beauty looked like sparkling new. But the photos also intrigue me and creep me out a little bit as well. I’ve… more»
390 FE Equipped Fastback! 1966 Ford Galaxie
The mountains of California always make a beautiful backdrop for photos, and this setting was what first drew me into this 1966 Ford Galaxie. The 1965 cars got an all-new design with a more bulky and taller stance than… more»
Authentic Western Workhorse: 1972 Dodge D100 Adventurer
It’s no secret that I have an affection for old pickup trucks. And the more original and authentic, the better. Ford and Chevy pickups get the majority of attention, but it’s also refreshing to shine the work light on… more»
34k Original Miles: 1959 Cadillac Sedan De Ville
There is probably no car that better exemplifies the automotive design excesses of the 1950s than the 1959 Cadillac. From its towering fins to its bullet taillights and glistening grille, it seemed to contain something for everyone. The one… more»
Drive it Away: 1959 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite
Rarely has a car prompted more smiles than the Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite. From the grinning grille to the bugged headlights and the car’s diminutive size, the Bugeye oozes charm. The driving experience is surprisingly … spritely. These cars… more»
No Less Bad-A$$ Forty Years Later: 1979 Buick LeSabre Landau Custom
This 1979 Buick LeSabre Landau Custom is almost comically priced here on eBay: $3881. What are we doing, going up by $1 at a time? (Actually, by increments of fifty bucks). And that’s the result of 15 bids, more… more»
1955 DeSoto Fireflite Sportsman Coupe
DeSoto is an orphan marque in my mind. While the model was produced under the Chrysler brand from 1929 through 1961, it’s rare to see a DeSoto at a car show these days. Perhaps that’s because Chrysler couldn’t make… more»
At Least It’s a Fastback: 1965 Mustang 6-cylinder
Because it’s a Fastback, this 1965 Ford Mustang might just be worth close to the asking price of $24,500 as represented here on craigslist. But maybe not, as it’s already been up for nine days, or ten by the… more»
OHC Survivor: 1968 Pontiac Firebird
The Firebird was Pontiac’s response to the First Generation Mustang, and, like its competitor, it offered an entry-level option for buyers unable to justify the expense of a V8. Many of those cars received later drivetrain upgrades, but this… more»
Unfinished Business: Cobra Kit Replica
If there was a category for cars that are most likely to show up as unfinished projects, the Cobra kit car would certainly be in the top five. I imagine there’s even a bracket for the same kit car… more»
“My Red Scirocco Goes 155”: 1980 VW Scirocco
This one’s nostalgic for me. When I was in college, one guy, let’s just call him WB III, had a car that none of the rest of us knew anything about. It was a late-70s to early-80s Volkswagen Scirocco,… more»
Unrestored Rarity: 1977 Chevrolet Blazer Chalet
I am starting to think the Chevrolet K5 Blazer Chalet camper is the truck-based equivalent to the ASC McLaren convertible. Despite very limited production numbers, they are seemingly always available in project form. This particular truck is a worthy… more»
