If the Corvair based UltraVan we featured yesterday was a bridge too far in your automotive journey to the promised land, then perhaps you need something that is a bit more “factory”. Still different. Still built on the mass market Corvair chassis…but to work on this one you don’t need a PhD in Vintage Aviation […]
(by CFlo) There are those who would say an old full-size American wagon just ain’t right unless it has acres of Di-Noc simulated wood applied to its sides. If it’s faded fake wood, you get bonus points for patina. At the DT offices we had a wood-delete all blue 1994 Buick Roadmaster that bucked this […]
The Citroën ID19 was a cheaper and lower powered version of the Citroen DS (pronounced Déesse as the French word for goddess) sold from 1957-1975. The ID used the same body as the basic DS, but was sold at a cheaper price point for those who still wanted the Bertoni and Lefèbvre designed body but […]
Happy Pi Day! With all of the corona virus related pandemonium running through the public eye, I wonder if it’ll spill over into cars — with the classic Toyota Corona be shunned because it shares a first name with the nasty crown shaped virus that seems to be performing the job of a crappy version […]
In 1953 a shopper at a Pontiac dealer had a number of choices — starting with the entry level Chieftain (except for Canada, which had the Pathfinder) and then going up in class to the Super Chief, Star Chief, or the Safari if wagons were your thing. Today’s next feature is vaguely related to a […]

Some cars for sale on the interweb seem to have an answer for a question that no one ever asked. How many Vega wagon owners would think to themselves, “I want to lift this thing and go off road.”? We have a unfinished project here that has some odd things finished and many important ones […]
Find this 1969 Ford Falcon station wagon here on eBay in Elmira, NY bid to $2,125 ending on Christmas day. This satin black grocery getter has a Ford 460 big block swapped in for good measure. Who needs headliner, carpet, and a spiffy interior when you are busy melting the rear tires? See a […]
Before SUV’s were plugging up driveways around America and taking flack for global warming, there was another vehicle contributing to hydrocarbon depletion en masse. Enter the station wagon. Considered the first design to transcend the standard family hauler, they came in multiple configurations depending on your needs. Some even provided the ability to grow […]
Quantum is defined in physics by Merriam-Webster as “the smallest amount of many forms of energy (such as light)“. Passat is a made up word by Germans for a large family car produced by Volkswagen. Dasher was Santa’s main reindeer until that upstart Rudolph with his nose so bright came along to guide the sleigh. […]
