The Special returned to the Buick lineup in 1961 after a two year hiatus — but instead of being an entry level full-size, it was now a compact unibody sedan built on GM’s Y-platform. The Buick, Oldsmobile, & Pontiac “senior compacts” shared the same unibody undercarriage, suspension, and aluminum V8, but styling was up to […]
Ford’s little ’70s horse-themed compact has gotten more than its fair share of flak over the years, some deserved, some exaggerated. While a few rear-end collisions resulted in fiery wrecks, apparently the numbers were far less than popularly believed. A report called The Myth of the Ford Pinto Case might make us realize that although […]
The 1950 Plymouth De Luxe was a full sized offering from Chrysler that was based on a yearly upgrade of the 1933 Plymouth…with a break from 1943-1945 for WW2. The 1950 model was the last year before the platform was seriously upgraded and split into Concord, Cambridge, and Cranbrook models. Today’s De Luxe might look […]
In the world of antique project cars, there are cars that need some work and then there are cars where the entire roof has been reconstructed with duct tape. This, unfortunately, is one of the latter. “Solid for the age” the seller states with the supreme confidence of a person asking for less than $5k […]
An Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera S (A-body GM midsized junker built 1982-1996 on shared platform with Buick Century, Pontiac 6000, & Chevy Celebrity) won’t exactly get the heart pumping on even the biggest GM fanboy…but oh boy, find one that looks showroom fresh…and even a diehard Ford fan takes a closer look. This Cutlass Ciera S […]
This next car is interesting because there was a lot of labor and love put into this build, but the seller’s listing is sub-optimal. It only has a few photos (what does the interior look like?) and doesn’t show many of the details that are the difference between a well executed custom and a pile […]
Pay attention 80s nostalgia junkies and compact car enthusiasts because this CRX is the cure for your midlife crisis, and it’s ready for the next owner to keep it clean and nice. Sure its an automatic and not the preferred Si model, but good luck finding another one of these bad boys in this condition […]
I love a rusty ond pile of junk wagon as much as a next guy (trust me…) but woof, this Amazon wagon looks like a piece of chalk that’s been left out in the rain. It might be melting. On the plus side it has a B18 inline-4 and a 4-speed manual gearbox, so the […]
Oh man, this seems like a lot of money for an 80s Dodge pickup truck..and who am I to judge the price of used vehicles…wait…I’m EXACTLY the person to judge the price of 80s junkers and yell from the treetops “DON’T OVERPAY FOR NOSTALGIA”. But I will admit one thing, this isn’t the truck with […]
This next car comes as a tip from Cory who writes: worst idea of the day- 2 Bricklins- probably need 5 Bricklins to make a usable car. Yeah. That about sums it up. If you read this and have no idea what a “Bricklin” might be…well, just keep on walking. But if you are a […]
