Pre 1950
This next feature is a pre-war Pierce-Arrow chassis reconfigured into a long, rear-cockpit streamliner with aircraft-inspired construction and controls. The photos show the car in a skeletal state, but the proportions are wild: long nose, rearward cockpit, tapered tail, narrow greenhouse, and body framing that is more pre-war aircraft construction and less coachbuilt car. The […]
The 1939 Cadillac Series 61 was Cadillac’s entry-level line, but “entry-level Cadillac” in 1939 still meant a proper prestige car with V8 power, big-car presence, and far more style than most ordinary sedans of the era. Power would have come from Cadillac’s flathead V8, which was smooth, torquey, and very much part of Cadillac’s prewar […]
This next feature appears to be a 1937 Ford-style Legends coupe body, not a 1928 Ford, despite the listing title. Legends cars are 5/8-scale replicas of 1930s coupes and sedans, commonly styled after early Ford, Chevy, and Dodge bodies and powered by motorcycle engines. The Yamaha 1200 engine, one-seat layout, race-style chassis, no reverse, and […]
The first Model T rolled off the assembly line in 1908, and over a century later, the Model T stands not as a relic, but as a gothic monument—an iron coffin for the age of craftsmanship, resurrected by sparks and oil. Drive it at night and you’ll feel the past following close behind, its yellow […]
I think I need to consult with my optometrist, because I don’t think this can be real. Is this AI? Am I AI? It was so hot earlier today that I wondered if I had died and gone to purgatory….is this related? What..how..why? I really wish the seller included some more details. Find this 1979 […]
Part of GMC’s “New Design” series launched in 1947, the 3100 was the half-ton sibling to Chevrolet’s Advance Design trucks, and while mechanically similar, the GMC often featured its own unique trim and heavier-duty components, including the robust 228ci “Blue Flame” inline-six you’ll find under this green panel’s hood. Panel trucks like this were the […]
Some folks rescue puppies, others take in stray hot rods. This next project Model A was once a thumping, show-going, small-block-powered cruiser, and now it’s looking for a new garage and a second chance at glory. Sure, it’s missing a few essentials—like seats, wheels, and a steering wheel (not sure what we are looking at […]
The Studebaker M5 truck was born before the U.S. entered WWII, part of the M-series trucks that launched in 1939 and carried the same handsome, pre-war styling well into the late ’40s. While the competition (GM, Ford, Chrysler) overhauled their truck lines after the war, Studebaker stuck with what worked: streamlined fenders, a tall, upright […]
Roughly the size of a city bus and twice as dignified, this 1948 Packard Super Eight Limousine is the kind of factory-built formal cruiser that once ferried VIPs, wedding parties, or possibly low-level mobsters. With a 141-inch wheelbase, rear jump seats, and a functioning divider window, it’s the sort of car you’d expect to see […]
The International K & KB series trucks were introduced in 1940 and survived through 1949 with various upgrades throughout the years. The K4 is the biggest of the “light duty” versions and features what are known as artillery-style wheels. Find this 1941 International Harvester K4 offered for $8300 in Las Vegas, NV via facenational markvester. […]
