Rolled Thunder! 1962 Ford Galaxie Tri-Power

Upon first impression, younger readers may see this Ford as a gussied-up family coupe from the early ’60s. However, by 1962 (and before the 1964 Thunderbolt), the Galaxie was Ford’s big stick in the world of drag-racing. This 1962… more»

Just Kidding: 1970 Plymouth Road Runner

Thanks to reader Patrick S for finding this amusing listing here on eBay. Things in Redlands, California seem to have taken an amusing turn. Seldom do we see the state of oxidation described by comparing it to flatulence resulting from popcorn.

1924 Packard Single Eight – Stored since 1962!

Many 1920s Packards render enthusiasts stunned and mute as effectively as a Star Trek Phaser, either with their stately elegance or (in this case) their sense of history. Two-door sedans appear rarely; indeed the seller claims this one alone… more»

ATV Trail Blazer: 1970 Honda ATC 90

I don’t get excited about three-wheelers often, but the Honda ATC 90 has to be one of the coolest motorbike contrpations ever made. The ATC really paved the way for the ATV market in the U.S., with its famous… more»

No Name Dropping Needed: 1941 Packard Clipper

The seller stopped loving this Packard today…okay, that’s my one and only tortured George Jones reference for this post; this 1941 Packard Clipper, we are told, once belonged to the country legend, but the fact is tossed off and,… more»

Pampered Panzer: 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SEL

How’s this for the lap of luxury: purchased new at Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills (at an original MSRP of over $56,000, thank you very much), kept in the garage of a high-rise apartment building, and driven only 38,013 miles… more»

Stripped for Paint: 1961 Facel Vega HK500

Facels are among the most imposting coupes to come out of the 1960s, and struck a balance between brute and ballerina. I use this description because of the svelte design in places, with the thin pillars and airy greenhouse,… more»
