Vintage Ad: 1977 Chevy Nova Concours
Posted on May 15, 2014 | 50 CommentsIn keeping with Tom’s Nova Custom capsule, I’m posting this ad for the 1977 Nova Concours it replaced. It’s always fun to see an ad show off a specific […] -
Cohort Sighting: ’70s Ford on ’70s Ford
Posted on May 14, 2014 | 20 CommentsThis gorgeous specimen of a compact pickup, spotted in Old Japanese Car Heaven (formerly known as Washington state) by Eric Clem, was impossible to overlook. Looking so lean and clean, […] -
Miniature CC: ’78 Dodge Monaco and ’67 Plymouth Fury II Highway Patrol Cars – Keeping The Memory Alive
Posted on May 13, 2014 | 26 CommentsIt’s only been over the past few years that Dodge Chargers have truly come into their own as police cruiser of choice. Until the last Crown Vic was produced, its […] -
Cohort Sighting: Menacing Cutlass
Posted on May 13, 2014 | 25 CommentsAs much as I adore A bodies in pillared sedan form, it would seem I’m in the minority. So perhaps it’s perfectly fitting that this family sedan from the height […] -

QOTD: CC C Body Conundrum – Which Will You Take Home?
Posted on May 9, 2014 | 93 CommentsSome fantasy shopping led me to this pristine ’73 Olds Ninety-Eight. ’71-’76 GM B and C bodies are usually in abundance on eBay and it begs the question: where do all […] -
