Curbside Classic: 1975 Peugeot 304 S – The Lion’s Zenith
Posted on September 6, 2021 | 8 CommentsEven in its country of origin, finding a decent example of the Peugeot 304 is getting mighty challenging these days. So I found a rather tatty one, which will have […] -

CC Outtakes: T87’s Singles Collection (Summer 2021) – Part 1: Japanese Cars
Posted on September 1, 2021 | 13 CommentsIt’s been quite a while since I’ve compiled the bits and pieces of my findings for your viewing pleasure (hopefully). And for some reason, I’ve had more luck finding straight-up […] -

Posted on August 30, 2021 | 24 CommentsAccording to family lore, my car obsession started pretty early – as it must have for many of you. I had learned to read by age three and liked to […] -
Curbside Classic: 1972 Nissan Skyline (C10) 2000GT – Princely Presence
Posted on August 27, 2021 | 20 CommentsIt’s going to be a little while before the balance is restored in the T87 household, as returning from a European jaunt in the age of Covid-19 is not as […] -
Curbside Classic: 1982 Citroën CX Pallas IE – Hydropneumatifragilistic Pallasialidocious

CC Capsule: 2021 Toyota EuroBox Renoca By Flex — The Probox Goes To Wolfsburg
Posted on August 2, 2021 | 15 CommentsJust when I think I’ve seen it all, those crafty Japanese kit-makers and customizers pull another fast one. Well, this is base on the Toyota Probox, so not too fast, […] -
Curbside Classic: 1984 Ferrari Mondial QV Cabriolet – Bargain Bin Supercar
Posted on July 29, 2021 | 13 CommentsThere is no oxymoron likelier to raise a bunch of red flags than “cheap Ferrari.” Quite right, too. If it’s cheap, there must be something terribly wrong with it. Missing […] -
Curbside Classic: 1992 Eunos Cosmo – Mazda’s Final Folly
Posted on July 26, 2021 | 12 CommentsFew carmakers fumbled as badly as Mazda did in the early ‘90s and lived to tell the tale. Rover died. GM needed a bailout. Nissan, Kia and Chrysler had a […] -
CC Capsule: 1962-73 Volkswagen Type 3 Variant(s) – Squareback Cubed
Posted on July 20, 2021 | 12 CommentsI love Squarebacks, you love Squarebacks, everybody loves Squarebacks. And that term certainly sounds better than “Variant” in our present pandemic-plagued predicament. I don’t wish to sound alarmist, but there’s […] -

Posted on July 19, 2021 | 9 CommentsThis one of those occasions when a discovery just has to be shared with the wider world. Show of hands, who had ever heard of CQ Motors before today? I’m […] -
Curbside Classic: 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 – Failing Upwards
Posted on July 15, 2021 | 8 CommentsYes, another DeLorean post. If we go back in time (har har), CC has already had a fair amount of DeLorean-related content. Here’s hoping I can wedge one more in […] -
CC Capsule: 1996 Mitsubishi Diamante 30M — Rough Diamond Or Plastic Gem?
Posted on July 9, 2021 | 20 CommentsThere hasn’t been much written on CC about this Mitsubishi as yet, but what there is has not been too complementary. And I would be quite inclined to follow suit […] -
