Cadillac used the Brougham designation on a number of vehicles over the years to designate a particular trim on various Cadillacs over the decades. However, when Cadillac split the Fleetwood Brougham up into to cars, they put the Fleetwood on the front-drive C-body and kept the Brougham name for a D-body luxury boat. These were […]
By 1979 the Ford Ranchero nameplate had been around for 22 years and people were still confused it it was a truck with car styling or a car with truck styling. “Just don’t call it an El Camino” said Ford’s product planners who introduced a bigger and badder version of the Ranchero for the seventh […]
This next car is such a sweet combination of 70s luxury that I can’t contain myself. This car combines everything you’d ever want in a bad guy’s car from a 70s TV Show (Rockford Files, CHiPs, Magnum PI, whatever) and an awesome shade of green that never gets used on cars these days on the […]
It takes a special kind of person to want to own and drive a Fleetwood from the 1990s, but I’m willing to raise my hand and admit that I’m that special. But it is only because Cadillac switched the Fleetwood name from the DeVille’s front-wheel-drive C-body to the rear-wheel-drive D-body (Buick Roadmaster, Chevy Caprice, Chevy […]
Modern cars have terrible windows. Sure, they keep out bugs, and block the wind, but they are boring. Stale. Lame. Back in the 1970s, cars had cool windows. The front windshield on this Oldsmoboat has a classic American window shape, but the B-pillar windows are just rad…and you might think they were the best until you find the rear window. Just look at it — it has a V-shape in rear glass. Why? Why not!! Find this 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham offered for $9000 in Homosassa, FL via hemmings.
This next car came from tipper Rock On who called it an AMC Unicorn. How could I not feature this car, it’s an AMC Matador Brougham…you had me at AMC!! Just look at that beige paint at the vinyl top, this belongs in a museum!! Find this 1974 AMC Matador Brougham offered for $11,900 in Medford, CA via craigslist.
I know what you’re thinking. You think that ten large is a skosh high to pay for a malaise era Olds Cutlass with a dirty engine bay…but hold on thought before you click away and start searching for used Fiats or something that doesn’t have the solid elegance, solid comfort, solid economy, or solid feeling of a vintage Olds Custlass Supreme Brougham. Plus, bad boy has a stick shift! Find this 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme with 4-speed offered for $10,000 in Mira Mesa, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
The Oldsmobile corporate slogan in early 1986 was “There’s a special feel in an Oldsmobile”…which is ironic because that “special feel” wasn’t necessarily a good thing…but the corporate goons at Olds changed it in late 1986 to “Oldsmobile Quality. Feel it!”…also…funny in an ironic sorta way…but I have to admit that this Toronado has a […]
If you surf craigslist on a regular basis, you’ve probably seen everything. People claiming all kinds of stuff that clearly isn’t true (this is one of one) and then random threats director at strangers (if nobody buys it, I’m going to polish the headlights and then double the price)…but this next advert has something I’ve […]
To say that this next car will need some restoration is a bit of an understatement. The interior will need to be nuked from orbit (it’s the only way to be sure) and there is enough rust to earn a spot on the endangered species list…but…BUT…this thing is wicked sweet. It started life from the […]
