CC Clue
Posted on September 22, 2012 | 6 CommentsThe Clues are getting harder, but the CC Commentariat has been more than up to the task. Mads Jensen got the ’85 318i on the second guess. Tomorrow’s CC is […] -
CC Outtake: How Many Scoops Is Too Much?
Posted on September 22, 2012 | 24 CommentsI spotted this bescooped and bespoilered CRX while sitting at a red light yesterday. The original CRX was a neat little car, but thanks to a certain movie, factory original […] -
CC Clue: Gray Day, Gray Car
Posted on September 21, 2012 | 6 CommentsThe Fiat 128 is not a commonly seen car these days, but that didn’t keep NZ Skyliner from correctly guessing Kevin Martin’s latest Brougham Antidote-and on the first try, too. […] -
CC Outtake: Cadillac Antidote
Posted on September 21, 2012 | 13 CommentsI like Cadillacs, you like Cadillacs, we all like Cadillacs. Well, maybe not everybody. For those of you who have gotten a little too much Cadillac info on CC today, […] -
Cohort Classic: 1987-88 Cadillac Cimarron – Could This Be The Nicest One Left?
Posted on September 21, 2012 | 48 CommentsLet’s continue our Cadillac Friday with the polar opposite of the ’83 Eldorado: The Cimarron. It’s hard to believe that these very different cars shared space in Cadillac showrooms at […] -
Car Show Outtake: Diplomatic
Posted on September 20, 2012 | 30 CommentsHere’s something for you M-body fans. I shot this ’85 Diplomat in 2008, at the Geneseo car show. This had to be the nicest Diplomat I’d ever seen, restored to […] -
Curbside Classic: 1997 Chevrolet Camaro – Conspicuously Purple
Posted on September 19, 2012 | 111 CommentsWith the exception of the 1967-69s, Camaro models tend to be long-lived; in fact, there have been only five Camaro generations in 45 years. Even after taking into account its […] -
CC TV: The Classic Blues Brothers Chase Scene – With A Twist
Posted on September 18, 2012 | 42 CommentsThe Blues Brothers is one of my favorite movies of all time. In fact, it may just be THE best movie in the world. That iconic chase scene, with Royal […] -
CC Clue
Posted on September 17, 2012 | 9 CommentsI thought the Camaro Clue was a toughie, but Sean got it on the first guess. Well done. I found tomorrow’s CC in a quite unlikely place: a new car […] -
CC Outtake: Got Change For A Five?
Posted on September 17, 2012 | 18 CommentsI don’t believe we have yet had a Datsun 510 review here at CC. Well, we did technically do a 510, but not the simple, squared-off late ’60s/early ’70s version […] -
Car Show Outtake: 1955 Imperial – We Represent The Lollipop Taillights
Posted on September 17, 2012 | 14 CommentsThe Imperial content on CC has been a little light lately, so how about this 1955 sedan–the first year the Imperial was a separate make. It was spotted at the […] -
CC Outtake: 1994 Chrysler LeBaron – Acclaimed
Posted on September 16, 2012 | 13 CommentsI spotted this Chrysler LeBaron sedan Friday during lunch hour. While most LeBarons seemed to have the Button-Tufted Brougham package, this one stood out by its lack of wire wheel […] -
CC Clue
Posted on September 15, 2012 | 4 CommentsHere’s another Clue for all of you out in CC-land. Will this one be tougher, or will it be guessed on the first try? Only time will tell… -
Future CC: Look, A Red Interior In A New Car!
Posted on September 15, 2012 | 37 CommentsAnyone who has read my posts here on CC probably knows that I am sick and tired of the bland, uninspired interior color options on new cars. Gray, light gray, […] -
CC Outtake: Rainy Day GMs From 1990
Posted on September 14, 2012 | 8 CommentsI was driving through downtown Moline this afternoon when a pristine, gunmetal gray circa-1990 Chevrolet Cavalier passed me. SInce most every pre-1995 Cavalier around here is pretty rusty, this was […]
