What If: 2014 Cadillac Seville
Posted on December 8, 2012 | 46 CommentsEver since the ’70 Fleetwood Brougham CC, I’ve had Cadillacs on the brain. Well, actually, I almost always have Cadillacs on the brain…and Lincolns…and Volvos…but, I digress. The Seville had […] -
Mini CC Clue
Posted on December 7, 2012 | 7 CommentsThe Toledo’s C-pillar wasn’t too familiar, but Alistair1 identified it as a Triumph 1300. As I don’t believe the 1300’s roof was substantially updated (if at all) with its transformation […] -
CC Clue
Posted on December 6, 2012 | 15 CommentsShaheer was first up with the correct guess for the Classic Landau coupe, with FromaBuick6 right behind him. Yes, today’s Clue is a little small, but you’ll just have to […] -

Posted on December 6, 2012 | 44 CommentsIf Paul’s 1994-96 GP post yesterday got you CCers down, here’s the antidote: Pontiac in its prime. While the cars themselves looked awfully good, the wonderful artwork by Van Kaufman […] -
CC Clue
Posted on December 5, 2012 | 13 CommentsSaab900lover got the ’63 Rambler right off the bat, though he thought it was an Ambassador. Since the grilles were identical between the Classic and Ambassador, at least in the […] -
Late Night What If: Matador Cassini Sedan and Barcelona Brougham Mark II
Posted on December 3, 2012 | 28 CommentsSo, are you sick of the AMC Matador coupe? Too bad, because I had to share this would-be Matador sedan, posted to Jim Grey’s Matador COAL writeup, in the comments. […] -
Canadian Curbside Capsule: 1956 Meteor Niagara–Alternate-Universe Fairlane
Posted on December 3, 2012 | 71 CommentsToday, thanks to the Cohort, we’re going to take a brief look at some north-of-the-border Curbside Classics. I think it’s safe to say that many of us here at CC […] -
CC TV: The 1977 Matador Barcelona II – Cutlass Crusader?
Posted on December 2, 2012 | 28 CommentsThanks to the ’74 Cassini Matador COAL we featured yesterday, I have Matadors on the brain. Earlier today I discovered this ’70s-tastic commercial for the Barcelona II on YouTube…or is it […] -
Car Show Outtake: How Do You Spell 9C1?
Posted on November 30, 2012 | 45 CommentsTime for more B-body love. Here’s what may well be the nicest remaining 1987-90 9C1 Caprice on the planet, which I ran across at the same show where I spotted […] -
CC Clue: Basic Black
Posted on November 30, 2012 | 6 CommentsIt has been a few days since our last Clue. The Rover P6 is not frequently seen in the U.S., but jim was right there to correctly identify it. Nice […] -
Automotive History: Mid-Size Madness – What Would You Have Chosen In ’65?
Posted on November 29, 2012 | 102 CommentsIf you’re in the market for a midsize car today, you have plenty of choices–providing you want a four-door bar of soap. Oh sure, there are several nameplates from which […] -

Posted on November 28, 2012 | 7 CommentsI caught this nice-looking Ford 8N tractor at a red light, at a used car lot, of all places. Could Ed Stembridge be in town? -
Curbside Classic: 1979 Dodge B100 Van – Is It The Real Thing?
Posted on November 26, 2012 | 69 CommentsTalk about long-lived vehicles. The Dodge Van–staple of plumbers, electricians, utility companies and the ’70s Custom-Van Man–enjoyed a long run, from 1971 to 2003. And wow, what a run it […] -
CC Outtake: Which Would You Pick?
Posted on November 23, 2012 | 23 CommentsWhat have we here? No, it’s not a vintage shot from my Street Scenes files, but one taken this past summer. I was walking out of my favorite giant-breaded-tenderloin restaurant […] -
CC Clue
Posted on November 22, 2012 | 15 CommentsAs you might expect, Junqueboi, our resident GM fan, got the ’62 Caddy’s distinctive turbo-vaned wheel cover. Well done. It seems that a lot of cars of a certain age […]
