Some Fenders Is All You Need: 1937 Ford Standard Coupe

You have to admit, prewar V-8 Ford coupes are cool.  Ford did a fantastic job styling these cars from 1932 through 1940.  From bootleggers and early NASCAR to restorations and street rods, these cars are still coveted today.  Take… more»

5,691 Miles? 1980 Corvette In Virginia

The seller tells us that this 1980 Chevrolet Corvette has only 5,691 miles “to the best of my knowledge.” Parts of the car certainly look like this could be true, but I would recommend an in-person inspection. If you… more»

Exclusive: 1978 Dodge Lil’ Red Express

COE Graveyard: 1971 Brockway N4571

Cab-over-engine designs still look great to me years later, no matter what era they were made. This is a somewhat rare Brockway, which hails from Cortland, New York, where it was likely originally manufactured. Now residing somewhere near Zanesville,… more»

Some Assembly Required: LT1 Trans Am Project

In-Between Barn Find: 1974 Ford Bronco

We have seen a lot of first generation Ford Broncos lately, but most appear to either be of the completely restored/preserved type or total restoration projects. This vehicle is in that in-between realm where it can be driven as-is… more»

WWII Equipment: 1943 Ford Burma Jeep

When we think of vintage military vehicles, the ubiquitous Willys Jeep comes to mind, along with the Dodge Power Wagon. Even Volkswagen’s amphibious vehicles more readily come into view, but less thought of is Ford’s entry to the mix…. more»

Early Model Bug: 1965 VW Beetle
