Reasonably Priced: 1948 Dodge Custom

What we have here is a fairly innocuous 1948 Dodge Custom two-door sedan, one of  81K assembled that year. I can remember a time, years ago, when you would encounter Dodges from this era (’46-’48) with surprising regularity but… more»

Split Window Dreaming: 1963 Chevrolet Corvette
