One-Owner Survivor: 1976 Mercury Grand Marquis Station Wagon

Some people seek the versatility of a vehicle that will seat more than five people, but an SUV doesn’t tick the boxes for them. Therefore, a Station Wagon is the most appropriate choice. That will undoubtedly make this 1976… more»

1-of-400: 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham

Breezeway Cheap Wheels! 1963 Mercury Monterey

1 of 732: 1970 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe

Seldom Seen Safari: 1974 Pontiac LeMans

GM’s “Colonnade” intermediates (Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac LeMans, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and Buick Century produced from ’73 through ’77) elicit all kinds of comments, both positive and negative and I’m surprised that the positives usually outweigh the negatives. Regardless, a Colonnade… more»

No Reserve: 1973 Buick Riviera GS

There’s no denying that the “Boattail” Riviera, Buick’s halo offering from 1971 to 1973, is polarizing. It is, however, better to be remembered for being polarizing than forgotten for being bland, and indeed the Boattail has taken off in… more»

Buy One, Get Two! Pair of 1971 Ford Mustangs

Stored Forty Years: 1964 Citroen DS19

Black Wrapped: 1974 AMC Gremlin X

I have long admired AMC because it marched to the beat of a different drummer when the question of styling was considered. Cars like the Matador and Pacer continue to divide opinions decades after the last cars rolled off… more»

Chevrolet Power! 1976 Avanti II 33k Miles

Seldom do automobiles get a second chance when their manufacturer falters. But the Avanti is one of them, an iconic product from Studebaker that was only around for two model years (1963 and 1964). When Studebaker’s U.S. auto production… more»

400/4-Speed: 1968 Pontiac Firebird

I have always considered pre-1970 pony cars as some of the best-looking vehicles to roll off American production lines. They possessed a purity of style that was lost as the later examples grew larger and less elegant. They also… more»
