Posted on August 2, 2013 | 13 CommentsA lot of our focus during Mopar Week has been on cars built since World War II, but let’s not forget Dodge had been around for a long time by […] -
CC Capsule: 1963 Dodge Dart GT Six Pack – No, Not That Kind
Posted on July 29, 2013 | 32 CommentsThis ’63 Dart GT packs a surprise under its hood. Of course, that shouldn’t be unexpected, given that its owner also owns a ’53 Ford with the slant six under […] -
Through The Window Classic: 1950 Ford – Tombstone Pass Patrol Car
Posted on July 25, 2013 | 16 CommentsNothing on the street of Eugene surprises me anymore, including a 1950 Ford “cop car” carrying the markings of Tombstone Pass. Times have been tough for the little mountain hamlets […] -
CC Capsule: Towing With A Panther
Posted on July 20, 2013 | 50 CommentsThe CC Effect is gaining momentum. After the lively discussion stemming from Brendan Saur’s post about a Grand Marquis (here), what photo opportunity should present itself? None other than a […] -
Cohort Capsule: Pallas Is Citroen For Brougham
Posted on July 18, 2013 | 38 CommentsI love Citroens, especially the vaunted DS. I also love Broughams. You might think the two would be at odds with each other, but both of my favorites–advanced European design […] -
CC Capsule:1960 and 1968 Austin A40 – For Proof That Britain Did Not Take The Car Industry Seriously
Posted on July 17, 2013 | 51 CommentsThe Austin A40 may not be well known outside UK, if indeed it is known at all in many areas. However, the lack of sufficient product investment in the UK industry […] -
Curbside Lust Object: 1966 Ford F100 Dump Bed – Why Didn’t I Do This 26 Years Ago?
Posted on July 13, 2013 | 30 CommentsThis very fine ’66 F100 moved in a couple of blocks away some months ago. Yes, Custom Cab and Tu-Tone paint job; a real looker, except for the non-stock wheel […] -
Curbside Classic Hat Trick: Houston, We Have A Brougham
Posted on July 10, 2013 | 23 CommentsWe’ve enjoyed various “theme days” lately here at CC, but in reality, many of them are completely unplanned—a post will go up, and one or more of us will have […] -
CC Capsule: 1986 Cutlass Ciera Brougham Sedan – Dressed In Its Sunday Best
Posted on June 30, 2013 | 38 CommentsThis is it, the ultimate mid-sized 1986 Oldsmobile. Well, the ultimate FWD mid-sizer, anyway; in ’86 you could still get the old RWD Cutlass Supreme in Brougham trim. But it […] -
Curbside Capsule: 1968 Pontiac Le Mans Redux
Posted on June 27, 2013 | 41 CommentsTom, I’ll see your 1968 car show Le Mans, and raise you a 1968 parking lot Le Mans that looks like it drove right out of 1973… -
CC Capsule: 1996 Buick Roadmaster Wagon – Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt
Posted on June 22, 2013 | 76 CommentsI am such a wussbag. I’ve always had irrational lust for the final B-body wagons. I can’t tell whether I like the Chevy Caprices best for their clean lines or […] -

Posted on June 19, 2013 | 13 Comments1941-1942 started a major new styling direction in Detroit: out with the graceful and delicate streamline-era front ends; in with the Wurlitzer juke-box look out front. As much as […] -
CC Capsule: 1985 Lincoln Continental – Mr. Droopy Drawers
Posted on June 18, 2013 | 32 CommentsFor all I know, the Fox-based Continental was a joy to drive. Tom Klockau certainly has fond memories of the one his grandparents owned, the story of which he told […] -
CC Capsule: The Cockroach of Utsunomiya
Posted on June 17, 2013 | 25 CommentsThis week, business has carried me half way across the globe, to the rural depths of Japan. Utsunomiya is a town 100 kilometers north of Tokyo, and about 30 […]
