CC Clue
Posted on May 27, 2013 | 15 CommentsCarmine got the Newport right off the bat. Pretty good considering he (along with CraiginNC) is our resident GM expert, rather than a Mopar Maven like our own JPCavanaugh. This […] -
CC Outtake: The Rare “Arquis LS” Custom Brougham Landau
Posted on May 27, 2013 | 25 CommentsYou think you know everything about Panthers? Well, ever seen an Arquis LS? I hadn’t, until very recently. Indeed, despite my collection of L-M literature from the late ’60s to […] -
Curbside Question: When’s The Last Time You Saw A Pace Car On The Road?
Posted on May 26, 2013 | 22 CommentsWe’ve seen a lot of Pace Car history here on CC, thanks to JPCavanaugh’s excellent series. He has already done the 1975-79 period (click here if you missed it), […] -
CC Outtake: 1972 Ninety-Eight – Big Mac Brougham
Posted on May 25, 2013 | 19 CommentsI spotted this clean Ninety-Eight coupe at a red light back in December. I keep hoping to see it at a show or cruise-in, but so far, no such luck. -
CC Clue
Posted on May 22, 2013 | 13 CommentsPatrick Bell was first out of the gate with the Seville Clue. Nice job. Look, chrome! Must be from before the ’90s, right? Well, maybe… -
CC Clue: Bonus Round
Posted on May 18, 2013 | 13 CommentsTime for a special Bonus Clue, for an extra CC to run tomorrow. You can probably guess the era of tomorrow’s CC, but that alone will not get you the […] -
Car Lot Classics: Take Your Pick – JC Whitney Lexus Or Single-Kidney BMW?
Posted on May 18, 2013 | 64 CommentsTime for a couple of back-row cast offs, courtesy of a local dealership. It’s getting so that even the old trade-ins at local dealerships are nothing more interesting than mid-’90s […] -
What If: 2013 Chrysler 300 Coupe – New And Improved!
Posted on May 16, 2013 | 54 CommentsUpdate: It seems that my using the standard 300 sedan’s length, height and wheelbase resulted in a stubbier-looking car than the quattroporte version. So, here is an updated version, the […] -
Car Show Outtake: Remember ’70s Green?
Posted on May 16, 2013 | 54 CommentsAlthough I was not around during the ’70s, from watching The Rockford Files and other TV shows of the era, it seemed like there were two basic colors on automobiles […] -
CC Clue
Posted on May 15, 2013 | 18 CommentsWell, the Commentariat made short work of the Firenza hatch, with Rob Finfrock getting it on the first try. Nice job. Here’s another one. It may be beige, but that […] -
Imported CCs: Ich Mag Deutsche Bordsteinkante Klassiker – Wirklich!
Posted on May 13, 2013 | 28 CommentsI have developed a reputation as the Broughamy go-to author here on CC (along with Richard Bennett, natch), but the plain truth is I can find just about anything on […] -
Car Show Outtake: 1957 GMC Suburban – All Business
Posted on May 12, 2013 | 12 CommentsHere’s another cool old car from–that’s right!–the Geneseo car show, home to the Turbo-Thrift Six ‘70.5 Camaro, ’64 Stude Cruiser, the nicest Dodge Omni in the world, and other stamped-steel […] -
Name Debasement Part II. THIS Is A Rally Sport?!
Posted on May 11, 2013 | 68 CommentsWe all heard about the Big Three’s fondness for name debasement in Jason Shafer’s most excellent ’68 Newport CC. But sub-models fell to the same indignity. Anybody else remember the […] -
CC Clue
Posted on May 10, 2013 | 13 CommentsHere’s something new. It’s certainly very red, but can you identify it? -
Cohort Outtakes: Audi 100LS Two-Door Sedan – Ever Seen One? No? How About An Opel Admiral?
Posted on May 10, 2013 | 34 CommentsHere’s yet another car from r0b0tr10t’s amazing collection of finds on the Cohort. I’ve always liked the 100LS–chalk it up to ads I clipped from ’70’s Time magazines in middle […]
