The number of vehicles that left a factory with giant animal-shaped hood emblems is very limited. Most famous is the Pontiac Firebird (Thunder-chicken) with the 2nd place award going to the Mustang II Cobra (Psynake-a-delic), however there are a few more rare-birds out there, such as the El Camino Royal Knight edition. Find this 1978 […]
The C3 generation Chevrolet Corvette was sold from 1968-1982 as a coupe, T-top and convertible, but never was it offered as a shooting brake/breadvan. That hasn’t stopped blow torch epoxy wielding customizers from creating what could have been the offspring of a C2 Vette and Volvo 1800ES. Find this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Shooting Brake for […]
The Chevrolet El Camino was introduced in 1959 as a world changing two-door car/pickup, although it was 2 years later to production than the Ford Ranchero. The El Camino was based on the full sized Chevy platform, specifically the Brookwood 2-door station wagon and offered a combination of car handling and truck hauling. Find this […]
We ran a number of features on the 4th of July focusing on cool American themed rides, but nothing as big as a step van covered in the red-white-&-blue was found at the time. Well, surely it is 4th of July somewhere, so enjoy this Independence from Boring step van! This 1972 Chevrolet Van is […]
We’ve noticed some grumblings in the comments about too many left coast features (and not enough $50k E30 M3s..but we ignore those comments and ban the accts promptly)…it probably has something to do with our own Commifornia daily driver searches spilling onto the pages of DT as well as that of some of our regular […]
The 1957 Chevrolet is a car so synonymous with the American classic car and hot rod movement, that this writer knows a cheeky individual who calls every pre-1970 car a “57 Chevy.” When folks correct him and say things like, “actually that is a Chrysler New Yorker” he always replies, “oh yeah, but I believe […]
As luck would have it we just featured a C3 Corvette late last week when a much more intriguing (if less than original) version popped up on our DT-dar yesterday. The 1969 Corvette engine lineup was a smörgåsbord of cast iron Chevy V8 engines, starting with the basic 300 hp L48 small blocks and going all […]
You are a slightly pudgy 40 year old with a wife and 2 kids. You’ve been working hard at your 8am-6pm career as a software tester and have recently been promoted to Junior Manager. The 15 year old Nissan Altima you’ve been driving since before your 2nd kid was born is looking a bit sorry […]
The first generation Chevrolet Chevelle was based on GM’s A-body platform and they are quite inexpensive in sedan form for a used classic daily driver. Unfortunately the driving dynamics, performance & fuel economy of a stock Chevelle is going to leave a bit to be desired from someone used to modern cars…unless..you pick up a […]
The shape of the third generation Corvette was released to the public a few weeks early by a mistake in the Hot Wheels factory that shipped the 1968 Corvette shaped 1/64th scale models earlier than scheduled. The body and interior were all new, but the basic C2 subframe carried over with few changes, as was […]
