Posted on April 6, 2013 | 61 CommentsIt has been repeatedly requested by CCers–most notably LAx–that we really need to do a CC on that underrated E-body Olds, the 1986-88 Trofeo. Well guess what I saw on […] -

CC Outtake: 1947 Chevrolet Stylemaster – Been Waiting Long?

CC Feature: A Downtown Davenport Sojourn – Something For Everyone
Posted on March 27, 2013 | 27 CommentsOn the first Sunday in March, I decided to venture across the river to see what CCs I could find. I had two specifically in mind: 1966 and 1976 Olds […] -
Miniature Curbside Classic: 1975 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham By Tomica – The Beginning Of My Broughamitis
Posted on March 26, 2013 | 17 CommentsAs many of you here on CC have guessed, I have a thing for Broughams. Maybe it’s because I grew up in the 1980s and seeing them reminds me […] -
Cohort Outtake: Hello, Lovely
Posted on March 25, 2013 | 40 CommentsI had to share this wonderful ’65 Bonnie recently posted to the Cohort by channaher. 1965 may well be the best year ever for Detroit iron (or is it ’55?) […] -
