CC Capsule: 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham – Premature Heir Loss
Posted on March 17, 2022 | 11 CommentsThe poor last-of-the-BoF-RWD-dinosaurs 1993-96 Fleetwood Brougham gets no respect, no respect at all. Even at CC – there is no “proper” long-form post to commemorate this now genuinely classic vehicle. […] -

Posted on March 11, 2022 | 41 Comments(first posted 3/11/2016) Chrysler was on the way to recovery. It really was. The Neon, for all its foibles, was very popular and doing well against its competition, they had […] -

Posted on March 4, 2022 | 74 Comments(first posted 3/4/2016) I miss full-sized, truck-based, American-designed and built, V8-powered passenger vans. I miss regularly seeing them on our roads. I miss the artistic canvas that was many of […] -

Posted on March 2, 2022 | 82 Comments(first posted 3/16/2012) The restyled full-size 1974 Plymouths and Dodges were not launched in the best of times. Introduced just as the first gas crisis was ramping up, these cars […] -

Posted on February 25, 2022 | 88 Comments(first posted 2/25/2016) I inherited my grandfather’s large collection of Kodakchrome slides. I knew he was fond of taking pictures of his cars, and there were many. I’ve scanned all […] -

CC Capsule: 2020 Mercedes-Maybach V-Class (W447) – Brougham Cubed
Posted on February 23, 2022 | 8 CommentsI don’t keep up with the gossip columns and the society pages, so this one kind of took me by surprise. I’ve seen a few Maybached S-Class saloons and limos, […] -
CC Capsule: 1995 Mazda Lantis (323F) Type R – So Nice They Had To Get It Twice
Posted on February 18, 2022 | 25 CommentsThere are lots of things to be said on the subject of Mazda’s mid-‘90s mania. The continuing Wankel obsession; the quixotic quest for a multi-marque JDM empire; the dodgy (yet […] -

Posted on February 14, 2022 | 43 Comments(first posted 1/27/2013) The Ford Maverick and Mercury Comet twins of the early 1970s received some serious tongue-lashing (or was it tongue-in-cheek lashing?) here about a year ago for being […] -

Posted on February 9, 2022 | 9 CommentsIt’s February already and we haven’t had a Mitsuoka post yet. Time to trawl down to the abyssal area of JDM oddity and see what creature we can find, eh? […] -
CC Capsule: 1986 Volkswagen Jetta (A2) – Booty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

Posted on February 4, 2022 | 20 CommentsAfter an overripe ‘70s T-bird in 2020 and a near-extinct Mustang II last year, it’s time to get a look at this rotting beauty at last. I feature this one […]
