Posted on October 27, 2012 | 28 CommentsAs we saw in yesterday’s ’81 Skylark CC, the new FWD X-body Buick, even when it was reliable as a daily driver, was nevertheless a bit stubby–maybe a little too […] -
Cohort Outtake – Which One Would You Pick?
Posted on October 27, 2012 | 32 CommentsI know which one I’d pick – and I bet you do too. I am nothing if not predicatable… -
CC Clue
Posted on October 26, 2012 | 6 CommentsTomorrow’s CC was very sharp in wine red, but for a certain family member, it was trouble. What could it have been? A Fiat? Diesel B-body? Maybe none of the […] -
Rainy Day Sighting: Is That An Imperial?

CC Clue
Posted on October 13, 2012 | 13 CommentsSean got the ’73 Omega and Stanislav got the Lada Niva pickup. It seems that obscure versions of the Nova and seldom-seen Russian pick ’em ups are no match for […] -
Moving Target: Non-Bescooped CRX
Posted on October 13, 2012 | 11 CommentsRemember the J.C. Whitney CRX from last month? Well, I found another one. Happily, though, this one did not have $1,200 worth of aftermarket ABS plastic on it. -

CC Clue
Posted on October 11, 2012 | 12 CommentsIt did not take long to identify the ’65 Plymouth; tiredoldmechanic got it on the first try. As you might surmise, tomorrow’s CC is a little bit more recent model. […] -
