I bet you couldn’t tell me what the best selling car in France was between 1969 and 1971? I’ll give you a hint, it wasn’t the Volkswagen Beetle or the Ford F-Series, but it was a small Pininfarina designed French sedan from Peugeot called the 204. You won’t see many of these around the streets […]
Juan Pablo Augustus Pininfarina put this mighty pen to paper many times over the years to design some beautiful cars..exotics, mid-engine things and the like…but few people know that old John-Pap-Pin (as his friends in the pub called him) designed the 1991-1996 Honda Beat. Find this 1991 Honda Beat here on eBay bidding for $1300 with $3,200 buy-it-now […]
When you think Tom Tjaarda, Ford V8, Italian, the Pantera may come to mind. But add the words “Iveco chassis” and “4×4” and the allure turns to confusion. Why pay nearly $2,000 for just any SUV when you could have the Maserati Biturbo for the PTA crowd? Find this 1989 LaForza for sale in Miami, FL […]
The Fiat Type 175 Coupé had flame surfacing, character lines on character lines, cuts, scallops, recessed taillights, and a processed (prolapsed? Don’t think about it) fuel filler cap. Whether all the doo-dads intended to complement or distract from the vehicle’s odd proportions is anyone’s guess. However, at 22 years after the car’s initial release, I […]
The MGB GT was a hardtop version of the iconic MGB roadster and was produced with only minor changes from 1965 through 1980.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word “classic” as: serving as a standard of excellence : of recognized value, traditional, enduring. The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider is a classic in every sense of the word. The convertible (spider) design by Pininfarina was launched in 1958 and is just as pretty today as the day it was relased. […]
The Giulietta Spider was a compact roadster built by Alfa Romeo from 1955 to 1965, styled by legendary design house Pininfarina.

Pi day is a yearly observance of the day 3-14, celebrated around the globe by geeks, dweebs, nerds and the borderline autistic. Naturally, we are going to join in the fun with Pi themed day here on the pages of DT. First up is this 1989 Cadillac Allanté Convertible with in an “interior by Pi” […]
There are many classic cars that call to gear-heads like sirens among the rocks. You may only catch a fleeting glance of a red valve cover or flipper splashing into the ocean, but the end effect is the same; you are drawn into shallow waters and marooned on a deserted island as all your belongings […]
The Cadillac Allanté was another attempt by an American automaker to bring some European style and allure into its American brands. It wasn’t a failure of epic proportions like the Chrysler TC by Maserati or the AMC Eagle Premier, in fact it could be considered one of the best front wheel drive luxury GT cars […]
