1950-1975
In 1971, the Satellite underwent a redesign, adopting “fuselage” styling similar to larger Chrysler C-Body models for its two-door, four-door, and wagon models. The big Satellite was built on a shared platform with the Dodge Charger, Coronet, and the Plymouth Roadrunner – and today we’ve got a sweet 440ci powered wagon. Find this 1971 Plymouth […]
You don’t find many sub $20k BMW 2002s floating around for sale these days, at least not ones that aren’t complete rust buckets or in some sad state of disassembly. If today’s example isn’t hiding some serious rust somewhere, then it is a spanking good deal. These BMW 2002s are fun to drive, have decent […]
Morris sold their Minor series as a closed vans and open flat-bed (pick-up) versions in production from 1953 through 1973. These commercial versions, initially known as the Morris Quarter Ton Van and Pick-up, were later designated as Series III from 1956 and eventually renamed the Morris 6cwt Van and Pickup when the 1098cc engine was […]
The Studebaker Starlight Coupe we featured the other day got a decent amount of traction on the interwebs for various reasons. Probably because it combines sweet vintage style with a level of simplicity that means you can fix it with a Crescent wrench and a pair of plyers. Or maybe there are just a bunch […]
I believe it was actor/comedian Jerry Seinfeld who said something about ” you don’t want to be the guy who dies and goes to heaven with the fewest miles on his Porsche…these things need to be driven.” I’m not going to assume that everyone who drives a Nova is going to heaven (or the alternative […]
This happens from time to time, but when I saw this next car, I was instantly struct with a sense of déjà vu. Was this a car I’ve seen before, or does it just fit the mold of something DT would feature? A quick search of the DT archives found this same model year custom […]
The 1946-1951 Frazer was the flagship line of the Kaiser-Frazer Corporation and was technically the first American car to be built with “post-war” styling (although some people claim it was the Crosley CC). It was also the first car with “hatchback” styling and compact utility vehicle (CUV) functionality. Today’s example is covered in a magnificent […]
The Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company was founded in 1852 by the five Studebaker brothers (Clement, Henry, John, Peter and Jacob) but it wasn’t until 1897 that they started building horseless carriages. In fact, their first cars were all battery-electric powered things and Studebaker didn’t build internal combustion powered cars and trucks until 1911. Studebaker managed […]
The Porsche 914 was initially designed to fit within Porsche’s lineup below the prestigious 911, simultaneously occupying the top-tier position in Volkswagen and Audi’s range, bearing the Volkswagen emblem. Porsche’s decision-makers were unwilling to take the risk of diluting their brand’s reputation by associating it with the VW nameplate, but they successfully negotiated with VW […]
The Series 4C/5C/CS Chrysler New Yorker was the 8th generation of the big full sized New Yorker and traded the fuselage styling of previous generations for some serious slab styling. It was big, bold, and had a colossal front chrome face and rad fender skirts out back. Find this 1974 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham bidding […]
