CC Outtake: Blue-On-Blue Corvette
Posted on June 22, 2022 | 26 CommentsI don’t really think of Corvettes as two-tone cars. Okeh, the early ones from the ’50s, sure, but not ’80s models like this one. And yet…there it is, resplendent in […] -
What If? Andy’s “Failed Chrysler Photoshops” – I Give Them A Passing Grade
Posted on June 21, 2022 | 13 CommentsAndy’s photostream of his photoshops includes a few “failed/abandoned” ones, including these Chryslers. I wouldn’t have given them an “F” if I was grading them, but then my standards must […] -

Posted on June 20, 2022 | 37 Comments(first posted 6/20/2016) This may not be on the street, but surely a public carpark is fair game? I came across this great-looking XJC recently, and knew it had to […] -

Posted on June 18, 2022 | 170 CommentsI’m a professional copyeditor (amongst other things), so I tend to notice thoughtless phrasing. Take a look at the ’83 Caprice ad up there. Yes. It does. It’s got that […] -
