Is It Bigger Than A Town Car: 1973 Super Beetle – Um, No
Posted on November 28, 2013 | 27 CommentsOkay, today is a holiday (for you U.S. CCers anyway), and there’s probably not a whole lot of folks reading CC–with such pressing matters as turkey, football and dessert! But […] -
eBay Find: 1975 Coupe de Ville – It’s Big, It’s Green And It’s Beautiful
Posted on November 25, 2013 | 77 CommentsGive me a Brougham with Brougham and extra Broughams on top! Big beautiful Brougham! Con Brio! Do you like big old land yachts? Perhaps the red one shot in the […] -
Cohort Outtake: CLA Too Dear For You? Then How About This!
Posted on November 23, 2013 | 19 CommentsMuch has been made of the new Mercedes CLA’s affordability. Maybe that would have meant something if Mercedes-Benz had the reputation it had up to about 1990 or so. But […] -
CC Outtake: Arrgh! The Red Whale, Avast!
Posted on November 20, 2013 | 49 CommentsHere’s a sleeping land yacht I captured close to a year ago: A 1975 Sedan de Ville. Seeing driver-condition mid-’70s Cadillacs are quite rare here, so this one was a […] -
CC Cinema: Yellow Furys And GMC Vans, Eh
Posted on November 16, 2013 | 25 CommentsIf you have never seen the classic 1983 film Strange Brew, you must check it out. I first saw it when I was about 10 years old, and ever since […] -

eBay Find: Want A Four-Speed 4×4 With Opera Windows?
Posted on November 11, 2013 | 49 CommentsPop quiz time! What has a straight six, a four-speed manual, four-wheel drive and…opera windows? Nothing, you say? Au contraire. Take a look at that instrument panel, guess, and click […] -
Car Show Classic: The Highway Star – The Most ’70s Van I’ve Ever Seen
Posted on November 11, 2013 | 50 CommentsOkay, I was not even born until after the Van Craze was on the way out. Missed it by “that” much! But for you friendly folks who lived through the […] -
CC Outtake: JC Whitney Is Alive And Well…
Posted on November 10, 2013 | 12 CommentsSitting at a red light a week or so ago, I spotted this Camry. Not exactly the beige blandmobile the Camry is generally thought of on “teh internets,” is it? -
Classic Outtake: Another “P” Heard From
Posted on November 6, 2013 | 15 CommentsWell, the Pierce-Arrow seemed to go over quite well with you, our audience. Got a hankering for some more non-hot-rodded prewar cars? Never fear, for the AACA show last summer […] -
Panther Finale: 1981 Town Coupe In Pine Opalescent – The eBay CC Effect

Posted on November 5, 2013 | 32 CommentsOoh boy, am I going to get into it for this one! The 1980-83 Continental Mark VI is a car I like, but even some true-blue Panther fans do not, […] -
Car Show Capsule: 1988 Lincoln Town Car – Black Cherry Landau Sundae
Posted on November 5, 2013 | 18 CommentsYou know, it’s funny. I’ve done WAY more B-body posts on CC than Panthers, yet I wind up with a Panther. My Jaguar-esque Y2K Cartier is much more modern looking, […] -

Posted on November 5, 2013 | 31 CommentsPanther Day continues with yet more 1998-02 Townie goodness! Remember the Touring Sedan? I won’t blame you if you don’t, for they were not a hot seller. But, with their […]
