EXCLUSIVE: 1951 Chevrolet 4-Door Deluxe

If you ask me, four door classics just don’t get the love they deserve. Sure, I appreciate two doors and their sleek looks, but an old four door can be just as much fun to drive with the added… more»

Solid Underneath: 1971 BMW 2002

When I purchased my 1981 HiAce, I did so knowing full well there were some rust issues. But the big thing for me – after going through several body shop projects on other cars – was knowing the rot… more»

Catskill Mountain Carry-All: 1977 Chevy Impala

So, a little bit of history: there are areas in the Catskill regions of New York State where you can still find the remnants of once-grand resorts where wealthy New York City residents would retreat on the weekends. Some… more»

Time Machine Tragedy: 1981 DeLorean DMC-12

Wood Applique Survivor: 1977 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser

Nothing quite says the 70’s like bright colored earth tone colors. This bright and shiny ’77 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser is a beauty having only covered 55,000 miles in its lifetime. As close to mint as you would hope for,… more»

Studebaker Restomod: 1947 Studebaker M5 Pickup

The Studebaker M5 pickups in my opinion are one of the best looking trucks of the era. The moustache like grill, and the treatment of headlights really set this truck apart from others of the era. With a heavy… more»

I was recently digging through eBay when I came across a seller that appears to be the owner of a rather large salvage yard in Great Bend, Kansas and they are in the process of liquidating cars. They currently… more»

EXCLUSIVE: 1956 Ford Thunderbird

I’ve never understood the thought process we often go through when we start restoring a project. Far too often, people sand the paint down and spray the car with primer, long before even looking into the drivetrain, suspension or… more»

Pushes & Steers: 1967 Ford Mustang

When the seller includes “pushes and steers” in the description of a barn find, you pretty well know you’ve got a job on your hands if you choose to buy it. This 1967 Ford Mustang fastback fits that description…. more»

Let It Ride: 1974 Ford Econoline

It would seem that surfer vans are in again. It makes sense though, many of us have memories of these vans. While I’ve never been a huge van fan, there is just something about wall to wall shag carpet… more»

Rough Interior Survivor: 1949 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 75

Just about any vintage Cadillac has a certain appeal due to the styling and luxury they executed through the years. This ’49 Fleetwood is a “survivor” but needs a lot of attention on the interior. Being a California home… more»
