CC Outtake: A Very Jetta Christmas

Late-Model Wagon Comparison: Separated At Birth?
Posted on December 20, 2012 | 20 CommentsThe other day I went to the library during lunch hour. Parked right behind my wagon I found another wagon, a late-model Jetta. I enjoy comparing and contrasting cars parked […] -
Craigslist Classic: Ever Seen This Top On A ’75 Bonnie?
Posted on December 17, 2012 | 39 CommentsAs your resident CC B-Body Pontiac fan, I wanted to share this intriguing 1975 Bonneville I ran across on Houston Craigslist. The 1971-76 B-Body Pontiacs are quite rare these days […] -
CC Outtake: The CC Effect – It Still Works!
Posted on December 14, 2012 | 35 CommentsEarlier this week we were discussing pink cars. While the majority of CC Corps sightings were, unsurprisingly, Mary Kay Cadillacs, one interesting 2013 model can be had in a pink […] -
Ebay Find: A Very Special 1967 Bonneville

Mini CC: Corgi Rover 2000TC–Got A Flat, Buddy?

Curbside Cruising: Late Fall Roundabout
Posted on December 12, 2012 | 13 CommentsThe last car show of the year around here was on October 28. It was not your run-of-the-mill show, however, being put on in honor of Dahl Ford’s 75th year […] -
Curbside Question: What Was The Last Pink Car You’ve Seen?
Posted on December 11, 2012 | 71 CommentsI ran across this most decidedly NON-factory painted VW New Beetle behind a local dealership today. Pink cars are pretty far and few between these days, so my interest was […] -
CCOTY Nomination: My Pick For 1964 – The Imperial Crown Coupe
Posted on December 11, 2012 | 62 CommentsOnwards to 1964. As with pretty much every year so far in the CCOTY saga, new car buyers were just spoiled for choice. Not only did the usual Big Three […] -

What If: 1978 Chevrolet Impala Bubbletop
Posted on December 10, 2012 | 18 CommentsWe recently took a look at the 1962 Bel Air bubbletop, and while I can also appreciate the “fake convertible top” of the formal-roofed ’62 Impalas, there’s no denying that […] -
CC Outtake: Caddys Of The Distant And Not-So-Distant Past
Posted on December 9, 2012 | 36 CommentsEarlier today, while hunting larger CC game, I came upon this 1990 Sedan de Ville. I thought it was a nice juxtaposition with the classic ’63 in the background. While […] -

Posted on December 9, 2012 | 2 CommentsI was on my way home late last night when I saw this light-bedecked combine out in front of the Deere East Moline combine works. It was raining pretty good […] -
CC Clue – Updated With Bigger Photo
Posted on December 8, 2012 | 5 CommentsUpdate: Only two guesses? Okay, here’s a slightly bigger picture. We have a tie on the Corgi Rover 2000. Jim knew it was a Rover 2000, but excluded himself a […]
