CC Fieldside Classics: Le Ordinance Violation, with a Splash of Special K
Posted on June 16, 2014 | 54 CommentsMy lovely bride grew up in rural northern Michigan, and we visit her mom and stepdad fairly regularly. We always pass a “hoarder house” with one of the strangest car […] -
Heritage Center Classic: 1969 Corvair Monza Convertible
Posted on June 9, 2014 | 69 CommentsThis polarizing conveyance is one of the last of its kind: the rarely seen and seldom heralded 1969 Corvair. Chevrolet’s full-line advertisements made little mention of the Corvair by 1969, […] -
Car Show Outtake: 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass S 442

Posted on April 27, 2014 | 22 CommentsOK, this is a bit of a tough one. Who can tell me what this piece of trim is attached to? -
QOTD: What Was Your Wedding Car?
Posted on April 21, 2014 | 81 CommentsIt’s hard to believe, but next year will be my 10th anniversary, meaning it’s true what they say about time and its avian habits. On my big day, my mode […] -
COAL Capsule: 1965 Mustang – 26 Years And Counting With My Family Heirloom
Posted on April 17, 2014 | 42 CommentsThe vehicle pictured above is more than a car. It’s my family’s history, it’s my history. It’s the first date with my wife, my first oil change, and my first […] -
CC Outtake: Mustang Alley
Posted on April 14, 2014 | 22 CommentsMy ’65 Mustang multiplied after I left it in the spectator parking lot at the 2013 Pure Stock Musclecar Drag Race. There’s just no leaving that thing alone. I actually […] -
COAL: Dirty Dart Update One: Ugh.
Posted on April 10, 2014 | 49 CommentsI’ve finally had a chance to mess around with project Dirty Dart, and it’s softly whispering to me: cut bait! cut bait! To put things in perspective, it only stalled […] -
