Curbside Classic: 1967 Simca 1501 – The Least Gallic Of All Sixties French Cars

CC Twofer: 1982 Citroën 2CV 6 Charleston & 1976 Citroën 2CV AKS Fourgonnette – Fraternal Flat-Twins
Posted on January 6, 2021 | 14 CommentsAll hail the immortal tin snail! We’ve covered the 2CV pretty extensively on CC already – I’ve even written one of these up myself. My recent jaunt back to France […] -

Posted on January 4, 2021 | 17 CommentsBe honest, you never expected old T87’s first stand-alone post of the year to be anything like this. I was surprised too, but here we are. I found Curious Orange […] -
CC Outtakes: T87’s Singles Collection (December 2020) – Part 3: A Week In Provence
Posted on January 3, 2021 | 20 CommentsCorona be damned, I did something slightly risky and flew to the old country and see my folks for Christmas. It was that or losing the plane tickets, which were […] -
CC Outtakes: T87’s Singles Collection (December 2020) – Part 2: Foreign Cars
Posted on January 2, 2021 | 33 CommentsWelcome to part two – there will also be a part three this time, because I’ve been busy over Christmas. I’ve posted one of these weird Town Car stiff-wagons before […] -
CC Outtakes: T87’s Singles Collection (December 2020) – Part 1: Japanese Cars
Posted on January 1, 2021 | 31 CommentsIt may be a new year and all, but we still have to sift through the finds of 2020 – which were pretty plentiful, as far as I’m concerned. Let’s […] -
CC Capsule: 1973 Toyopet Corona (RT80) Deluxe – Year Of The ‘Rona
Posted on December 31, 2020 | 17 CommentsTwenty twenty, even without hindsight, will be remembered as the Year of the Pandemic. That was pretty evident since the spring, let alone now, as the first vaccines are being […] -
Curbside Classic: 2017 UAZ-469 Hunter Classic Jubilee Edition – From Russia With Gloves
Posted on December 22, 2020 | 12 CommentsOf all the weird automotive encounters Tokyo has engineered over this eventful year, this was quite an unexpected pleasure, Mr Bond. Here is a true Brezhnev-era relic, painted in Radium […] -

Curbside Classic: 1990 Nissan Laurel (C33) – The Last True Hardtop Sedan
Posted on December 17, 2020 | 18 CommentsIt’s going to take a lot of effort for me to find something to criticize here. I really like this car. It’s a real hardtop. It has (most probably) a […] -
CC Capsule: 1987 Toyota Vista (V20) 4WD – The Alternate Reality Camry
Posted on December 14, 2020 | 21 CommentsIt’s always a learning experience to be CC hunting in Japan. I’m still baffled by the amount of variants that Toyota used to have of the same thing, with names […] -
CC Capsule: 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite – Yakety Yak
Posted on December 9, 2020 | 12 CommentsThe thing about photographing other people’s cars in a foreign country is that one is very rarely interacting with the car owners. And that’s just fine by me – people […] -
Curbside Classic: 1957 Chevrolet Nomad – Twice On Sunday
Posted on December 8, 2020 | 27 CommentsLast month, we went on a Sunday outing about 100km away from Tokyo. I was ticked off that day, because I had seen a very nice and very old car, […] -
CC Twofer: 1967 Volkswagen 1500 & 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 S (W108) – Matching Numbers
Posted on December 7, 2020 | 12 CommentsWere those black beauties expecting me? I had already seen them separately – I even featured the Beetle in one of my Singles posts and was about to do the […] -
CC Outtake: Japanese Hearses – Putting The Fun Back Into Funeral Coaches
Posted on December 6, 2020 | 14 CommentsI stumbled upon this garage full of stiffmobiles recently and though I’d share. A great smorgasbord of transportation options are offered for even the most discriminating of cadavers in this […]
