As I’ve explained before, I’m very partial to Heralds; my wife’s has been the most popular (as in bystanders coming up and asking about it) car we have ever had. With one of the smallest turning circles ever, room… more»
1961 Chevrolet Impala: Roasted Gazelle
To say this Impala is sun burnt might be an understatement. The entire top half of the car is completely covered in surface rust and is scorched from years of exposure to the elements. I actually don’t see that… more»
Let’s Go Racing! 1965 Bobsy Formula V
Formula Vee is one of the most successful racing series ever. With thousands and thousands of cars built and raced over the decades, it’s one of the easiest ways to get into racing. Formula Vee’s are welcome at almost… more»
Rubber Bumper Reversal: 1975 MGB
The photo of this MGB caught my attention because it looked like an earlier car at first glance. The bumpers looked right and the chrome grill was there, but a few things were off. Well, the title confirmed that… more»
1957 Chevrolet Nomad: Rust Wagon
Looking at this ’57 Chevy Nomad I see a lot of issues, but I also see a lot of potential. The Nomad is without a doubt America’s favorite two door wagon. Over the years I have watched the prices… more»
1967 BMW Bavaria for $2k
The Bavaria may not be the most loved model in the classic BMW lineup, but it represents a bargain today for that very fact. It was considered a full-size luxury car when new, but seems small when compared to… more»
1966 Austin Healey Sprite: No Reserve
I love a good no reserve auction! You never know, you could pick up a great find on the cheap. Take this 1966 Austin Healey Sprite, which is currently listed here on eBay. Bidding only has a few hours… more»
European Triplets: Mercury Capris
I’ve had a soft spot for Capri’s ever since they first appeared. Even the ads were cool! I’ve test driven several and almost bought two, but have never actually pulled the trigger. These three, found by Jim S, are… more»
Mystery Moped: 1985 Cursor Microcar
The world of microcars is far larger than their diminutive size suggests. It doesn’t seem to follow any particular rationale or timing as to why and when these vehicles-in-miniature are produced, and some truly fly beneath the radar. This… more»
Convertible Hardtop: 1957 Ford Skyliner
If this were a regular 1957 Fairlane I’d be calling this a parts car, but Skyliners are pretty special with their early hardtop convertible configuration. If you’re not familiar with it, the power hinged metal top folds in several… more»
1967 Ford Mustang Barn Find
Josh and I were just saying how much we miss our old Mustang. I wonder how she’s doing out there in the the wilds of San Francisco. Hopefully, she is still chugging along. The memories of driving that base-model… more»
The Pompadour: 1951 Boyertown Tour Wagon
The Boyertown Auto Body Works existed from 1872 through 1990 near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, producing all kinds of custom vehicles, mostly commercial. The site is now a transportation museum that looks quite interesting. The Tour Wagon was introduced in 1949… more»
1955 VW Beetle: Showroom Survivor
Given how shiny this Oval Window Beetle is, it is hard to believe it hasn’t ever been restored. It glistens like a brand new car, but is 60 years old. The seller claims it hasn’t ever been restored or… more»
1972 Toyota FJ40: Low-Buck Conversion
Over the weekend, I visited my in-laws in northwest Florida. One of my favorite stops is at a small used car dealer in the one-horse town where my wife grew up. The dealer is a friend of my father-in-law… more»
1979 Ford Fiesta: Pint-Sized Party
I know Ford’s smallest econo car isn’t for everyone, but for whatever reason I keep finding myself wanting a vintage Fiesta! Sure a Mustang would be faster and possibly even more fun, but for the money you just can’t beat a… more»
