CC Outtake: Missed Another One
Posted on October 22, 2013 | 10 CommentsWhich pocket is it in?…fumble, fumble, power up…..and this fine Scout II Rallye soft top is already rolling down the street. -
Future CC: 2013 Dodge Dart Limited: Reviving the Brougham?
Posted on October 22, 2013 | 92 CommentsRemember the Dart? Sure, you do. Everyone remembers the A-body, Slant Six compact that soldiered on for years, providing reliable transportation to frugal buyers, librarians and accountants everywhere. What’s more, […] -
CC Kids: 1965 Mercedes 220S
Posted on October 22, 2013 | 16 CommentsMy call for childhood pictures of yourselves with cars has already yielded several submissions. I’ll keep running one per day as long as they come in. Feel free to keep […] -
CC Outtake: Not A 1963
Posted on October 21, 2013 | 32 CommentsOur 1963 Days last week were fun. Lots of cool cars, all sleek and snazzy–a time before big bumpers and thirty pounds of emissions equipment spoiled the fun. Plus, Studebaker […] -
Childhood CC: Me And My Dad’s 1965 Rover 2000 P6 – Anyone Else Got Childhood Pictures To Share?
Posted on October 21, 2013 | 8 CommentsNeedless to say, childhood memories of our family cars are a big part of what we do here at CC, and there’s nothing quite like a picture to capture the […] -
QOTD? Does Anyone Remember A Ford Granada vs. Mercedes Comparison Test By Airplane Pilots?
Posted on October 21, 2013 | 27 CommentsFord relentlessly compared its Granada to Mercedes, such as this utterly silly test to prove that it rode as quietly as a Mercedes 450 SE. How about performance, handling, braking, […] -
Curbside Outtake- 1973 Chevy Caprice Custom Coupe
Posted on October 20, 2013 | 28 CommentsWhile collecting El Camino images for last Thursday’s Streetscape article, I also encountered this ’73 Chevy. It’s hard to miss Curbside Classics when they park side by side… -
Auction Classic: 1959 International Harvester Metro – Breadbox Bread Truck
Posted on October 20, 2013 | 34 CommentsThe route-home-delivery era ended during my 1970s kidhood. Milk delivery ended first. Bread delivery hung on through the early 1970s; I remember the brightly painted Tip-Top Bread truck swinging through […] -
CC Outtake: Passed On The Right By A Kidnapped Cadillac
Posted on October 20, 2013 | 24 CommentsIt was just over a year ago, in August of 2012. My brother and I were heading north on I-5 back toward Seattle when we encountered some heavy traffic. -
CC Outtake- Hot Rod Minivan?
Posted on October 19, 2013 | 38 CommentsIt’s unusual to see aftermarket rims on a minivan, and rare indeed to see upsized rims. While the stiffer sidewalls of larger diameter rims promote superior handling, we don’t typically […] -
CC Outtake: Volvo 960 Limousine – I’m Not Kidding
Posted on October 19, 2013 | 42 CommentsI’m sure most of you have ridden in a chauffeured car at least once in your life before. Whether it be a Town Car, SUV, or the full stretched limousine, […] -
1963 Postscript: Aqua Avantis Are Awesome
Posted on October 18, 2013 | 32 CommentsWe just had a very fine CC on the Avanti recently, but I just had to share this aqua Avanti I saw at a show last summer in downtown Davenport. […] -
Junkyard Outtake: Reattas and Miatas and Azteks, Oh My!
Posted on October 18, 2013 | 55 CommentsI love the old, rural, mom-and-pop junkyards that dot the landscape around where I live. But if you want to see things that are between 10 and 25 years old […] -
CC Outtake: 1972 Volvo 1800E – Souped-Down Sports Car
Posted on October 18, 2013 | 30 CommentsIt has been a while since I’ve done a Volvo on CC. Kind of embarrasing, since I’ve never owned anything but a Volvo (well, until very recently; more on that […] -
Cohort Sighting: The Elusive Grand Am Caught In Traffic
Posted on October 18, 2013 | 78 CommentsTatras have been found on the street, but the near-mythical Pontiac Grand Am has thus far eluded the Curbside Classic sleuths. I haven’t seen one in ages, and none of […]
