The Ford Fairmont might have just been a family sedan sitting on Ford’s sweet Fox body platform, but add a Futura suffix to that name and BOOM you’ve got a fastback-ish coupe with a window where we’ve never seen a window before, unless you are looking at a Mercury Zephyr Z-7, which is the same […]
If you are in the market for the latest Rivian/Cybertruck/E150Lantern, just move on now. This isn’t the truck for someone looking for a refined and eco-friendly status mobile…but it is the right car for someone who wants a vintage weekender with a crusty covering. If you’re one of those people who’s all about appearances, you […]
It’s been almost 90 years since this classic vehicle first hit the road, and it still manages to turn heads and make people smile. The vintage green paint, now faded and crusty, only adds to its charm as long as you consider a strong possibility of walking to your destination as “charming”. This isn’t the […]
This next car comes as a tip from Cory who writes: At this price point, I wonder how hard it would be to attempt to build a budget Corolla GR. It can’t be that hard to bolt on a larger turbo and the Focus RS/ST has all of the suspension parts off the shelf. With […]
If you had $22k to spend on a new ca in 1980 you could go buy a Corvette, but then you’d just be another Miami Vice wannabe with a nice sun tan. But if you were smart, you would have purchased a Blakely Bernardi, which might have been sitting on a Ford Pinto (or Mercury […]
The baby blue Volvo we posed earlier today was a bit of a wreck, so I think we need to redeem robin’s egg blue cars with something equally vintage, but in nicer shape. The Ford Courier was a compact pickup truck that was produced from 1952 to 1982, and this 1980 model is a prime […]
Ladies and gentlemen, gather round, for I have stumbled upon a true gem of a car: the 1995 Ford Taurus SHO MTX. Now, I know what you’re thinking, “A Ford Taurus? Really?” But hear me out, because this is no ordinary Taurus, this is a Super High Output Taurus, or SHO for short. And let […]
The ninth generation of Ford’s iconic Thunderbird road on the fox platform shared with the Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, and Lincoln Mk VII. For the most part this version of the Thunderbird was a big boulevard cruising personal luxury coupe, but Ford built a few special models that are interesting for low-buck collectors and turbo […]
This next car comes as a tip from David in Tampa who writes: There was a time when I thought the Bronco II was the ugliest, worst proportioned car on the road. Then, not that long ago Iwesaw one at Classic Remise Düsseldorf, a German museum believe it or not, utterly out of its element. […]
The Ford Excursion didn’t hit the showrooms until the 2000 model year, so if you wanted a full sized “Suburban” style many-door experience in a Ford 1-ton pickup, you were fresh outta luck. Except that for big pile of cash you could pay Centurion Vehicles of White Pigeon Michigan to convert an F350 into a […]
