Look, I get it. I’m hip. I understand that men enjoy gawking at pretty women and putting one (the pretty woman) in your car advertisement might bring some more eyes to your advert. And while it might work if you’ve got a Ferrari or a Fiat 500, it is still very cringy. But if you […]
The Chevrolet Corsica was a plus sized compact car built on GM’s L-Body platform shared with the Pontiac Tempest/GrandAm, Chevy Beretta, Oldsmobile Achieva, and Buick Skylark. It was the successor to the much maligned Citation for the 1987 model year and was succeeded by the Malibu for the 1996 model year. It was yet another […]
In 1994 the Buick Roadmaster got a massive powerplant upgrade when it ditched the old L03/L05 V8 and replaced it with an LT1 V8 that had more horsepower, more torque, and better fuel economy. It shared the LT1 with the Corvette, but you couldn’t fit 6 people into a Corvette. Find this 1995 Buick Roadmaster […]
This 8th generation Buick Riviera was the launch vehicle for GM’s new G-body platform (GMX690), which was based on Cadillac’s K-body architecture and lasted until 2011 when it was superseded by the Eurocentric GM Epsilon platform. The William L Porter designed coupe marked the end of an era for GM’s big luxury 2-doors and is […]
A few years ago I would have ranted that this is an INSANE amount of money to pay for a used Mustang, but with the average sales price of a new car exceeding $45k and the average listing price of a used car pushing $25k, I can’t say that this next car is that expensive. […]
This next car comes as a tip from Hugh who writes: You know how awkward it is when you see that some “car guy” is embarrassed that their fiero has a transverse power train and rebodies it to resemble a famous longitudinal engine car? I mean it’s half a Miura without the transmission and engine […]
I can tell you that I’ve learned one or two things from the years running this website, and one of those things I picked up is the ability to know a good deal when I see one. A camper based on a vintage Ford F-350 that has a all the charm of a vintage truck […]
This next car comes as a tip from Matt V who writes: Today’s Edition of “I never knew they came in a Coupe”…aka Tempo Superleggera. Yes, the Tempo did indeed come in a shhhhporty two-door version and a manual gearbox. It looks like a 3/5th scale ninth generation Thunderbird. Find this 1989 Ford Tempo Coupe […]
Stepping into a Buick dealer in 1992 and looking at the 2-door coupes must have been a strange experience. Starting at the bottom end of the cost spectrum you could get an ugly compact thing called a Skylark based on the N-body. Too small– so you upsize to a mid sized Century coupe and maybe […]
Back in the mid 1980s if you wanted a Mitsubishi with a turbo engine in the front and rear wheel drive, you had four cars to choose from — the Mitsubishi Starion, Dodge Conquest, Plymouth Conquest, and Chrysler Conquest…but they were really the same car with different badges. Today’s next example of the Conquestarion has […]
