Posted on June 14, 2013 | 37 CommentsIf you regularly attend car shows and were born before, say, 1990, you could be forgiven for thinking that all Firebirds between 1970 and 1981 were Trans Ams. But there […] -

CC Outtake: 1989 Buick Reatta – Does It Have The Touchscreen?

Classic Classic Capsule: NOT Getting Passed On The Right, By A White
Posted on June 4, 2013 | 25 CommentsI was on my way home from work late last week, when I came upon a very, VERY uncommon sight: A prewar–extremely prewar–car on John Deere Road. Now, I […] -
Car Show Classics: The 2012 Bi-State VW Club Show – Hope You Like Beetles And Buses…

Posted on June 2, 2013 | 50 CommentsSunday is a good day for CC spotting. Not only do many babied oldsters make appearances for pleasure cruises, trips to the grocery store and the like, but all the […] -
Car Show Outtake: 1978 Dodge Magnum – Butch Cordoba
Posted on June 1, 2013 | 65 CommentsDo you consider the Cordoba too frou-frou? Need a little more presence in your B-body? Then check out this ’78 Magnum I spotted at the Geneseo show last year! It […] -
CC Follow-Up: 1992 Olds Touring Sedan – Oh, Those Seats!
Posted on May 30, 2013 | 57 CommentsRemember the CC on this car? It was one of my earliest writeups. It was a nasty, icy day when I took those pics, and my CC photo skills were […] -
