CC Clue

Posted on April 29, 2014 | 66 CommentsIn my younger years, I used to indulge in a lot of MMing about the ultimate vehicle, the one that encompassed all the following qualities: a compact van body, for […] -
Curbside Outtake: Generation Gap
Posted on April 29, 2014 | 80 CommentsI caught these two “C Bodies” (okay, one’s technically a “D”) at work the other day. Only a few years separate this 1987 Cadillac Brougham from the 1991-93 Olds Ninety Eight, but, […] -
CC Outtake: Drooping 2002

Vintage Ad: 1976 Plymouth Fury Coupe – Nearing The End
Posted on April 28, 2014 | 96 CommentsIf yesterday’s Duster post showed a cheerful side of ’70s American autodom, this ’76 Fury coupe shows the less savory reality facing Plymouth. Unlike the dramatic 1958 model featured in […] -

Posted on April 26, 2014 | 89 CommentsI’ve had a run of bad luck with my two little cars this year. The Ford Focus has seen my mechanic three times. In February, the power-steering pump failed. In March, […] -
Vintage Ad: 1979 Ford Vans – Black Light Not Included
Posted on April 26, 2014 | 31 CommentsLike a lot of my “Gen-Y” peers, the 1970s and early 1980s sound to me like a very cool time, although, but one of the era’s trends which remains […] -
