When great car auctions are held, will they inevitably take place on the Great Plains? We’ve got to seriously wonder, because VanDerBrink Auctions has been putting on some serious sales of unrestored cars in that remote region of late. You’ll remember the Lambrecht Chevrolet auction a couple of years ago in Nebraska, when the entire […]

After a non-winter in the Northeast, followed by a wet and cold spring, summer descended on us full force over the Memorial Day weekend. Despite the heat, humidity, and threat of afternoon thunderstorms, over 500 show cars and hundreds more race cars turned out last Sunday to Lebanon Valley Dragway in West Lebanon, New York, […]
Nor are those its only charms, given that it runs and that it remains largely unrestored and yet complete and rust- and rattle-free. From the seller’s description. For a slightly-above-mid-level Nash sedan, this 1951 Nash Statesman Custom for sale on Hemmings.com has a good amount of flash – particularly on that dashboard – and compelling […]

This smooth looking beauty was produced for just one year; not only was its body design a one-year-only model, but this was the one and only year that Pontiac ever built the Grand Prix in convertible form. If you appreciate Pontiac’s outstanding engineering and sleek style yet you prefer to own the type of collector […]
Probably because, in the repetitious void that such journalism represented, the 1977 Oldsmobile Toronado Brougham represented a target too easy for the magazine bullies to ignore, the most obvious of the proverbial low-hanging fruit. Go on, admit it. If you were coming of age as an automobile enthusiast during the 1970s, and were leaving sweaty […]

Located at 450 Main Street, not far from previous Hartford street scenes in this series, it’s served as a federal courthouse since 1963, though thee photos obviously date to a few years after that. Give these photos a good once over and tell us what you see here? In among the Hartford photos that Joe […]
One that’s reliable, no doubt, and easy to fix if anything does break. One with enough power to get you over the hills with no wasted time. Perhaps most important, one that keeps you entertained, and gives you the widest possible enjoyment of all of that beautiful scenery rushing past the windshield. When you’re hundreds […]
