Chevrolet reworked the styling of its cars in 1953 and simplified the roster in the process. The lineup consisted of the 150, 210, and Bel Air, which would continue with the “Tri-Fives” of 1955-57. The 1954 models were largely… more»
Very Original: 1960 Pontiac Catalina Vista 4-Door Hardtop
The Flattop is considered a classic male short hairstyle that was popular not only in the 1950’s and pre-Beatles 1960’s, but also in the early 1900’s. And according to Wikipedia, “the flattop maintains a contingent of dedicated wearers today”… more»

Unfinished Restoration: 1971 Porsche 911 Targa
It’s unusual these days to see a long-hood Porsche 911 project show up in unfinished condition once the restoration has begun. I say this because the pay-off for a proper restoration on a car like this usually justifies the… more»
Last Year Wagon: 1967 Chevrolet Chevy II
Chevrolet introduced the compact Chevy II in 1962, a thoroughly conventional alternative to the VW Beetle-like Corvair. It sold well, but sales fell off in 1966-67, perhaps due to the styling (IMO) and boxy shape (things would rebound with… more»

Straightforward Project: 1978 Chevrolet Nova 3-Speed
By the late 1970s, the Chevrolet Nova had shifted from being Chevy’s compact hot rod darling into more of a practical, everyday coupe. Still, these cars make a great entry point into classic car ownership thanks to simple mechanicals,… more»
Project EXP: 1987 Ford Escort

Tahitian Green: 1991 Honda CRX Si
The Honda CRX is one of those cars that enjoyed a nice swing in value, and I suspect it’s not done yet. The Si trim is fairly hard to find, especially in stock form, as most of these cars… more»
Quest Fulfilled! 1965 Imperial LeBaron
After a long retirement in Palm Springs, California and some time in Ontario, Canada, this 1965 Imperial LeBaron found its way to Pennsylvania in 2024, where it serves a new and appreciative master. A long search for a well-kept… more»
13k Original Miles: 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra
I’ve always said that if money were no object and I had the chance to park a 1990s classic in my garage, the 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra would be my first choice. I have always liked the styling… more»
Final Year Survivor: 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate
