Moving Target: The Elusive Toronado Trofeo
Posted on April 6, 2013 | 61 CommentsIt has been repeatedly requested by CCers–most notably LAx–that we really need to do a CC on that underrated E-body Olds, the 1986-88 Trofeo. Well guess what I saw on […] -
Getting Passed On The Right By A Sunbird Convertible
Posted on April 6, 2013 | 18 CommentsIt’s an epidemic, I tell you. And this Sunbird snuck up so fast on my right, I couldn’t peel off a shot until he was already past me. Given its […] -
Cohort Sighting: Capriceamino Brougham Grande d’Elegance
Posted on April 6, 2013 | 24 CommentsI don’t know what I’d do without the Cohort. Some days, inspiration is as soggy as the weather this morning. But then I head over to the CCC and see […] -

Cohort Sighting: 1997 Toyota Paseo Convertible – I Didn’t Know They Even Existed; Did You?
Posted on April 5, 2013 | 39 CommentsThe Paseo is the kind of car that doesn’t really get noticed much in the first place; it is a bit bland. Of course, lots of cars were in the […] -
CC Outtake: The Other Rare A-Body
Posted on April 5, 2013 | 60 CommentsA-Bodies are of course a very common sight here, and we’ve professed our love for the Roaches Of The Road™ numerous times here. But those have almost all been sedans […] -
CC Outtake: “Would You Like To Hear About My Challenger?” Just Kidding; But The Hearse Is What I Was After
Posted on April 5, 2013 | 36 CommentsOk; we’ve milked that line sufficiently. And I suspect that if the Challenger’s owner had come out, they would likely have gotten what I was after. Or at least I […] -
CC Clue
Posted on April 4, 2013 | 18 CommentsLex Impala nailed the very tough Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Regency but who can recognize this automotive face? -
CC Outtake: Would You Like To Hear About My Camaro? Umm; No Thanks
Posted on April 4, 2013 | 54 CommentsI’m going to try avoiding editorializing here, since taste is not really debatable. But what drew me to this array was (like the Volt yesterday) the juxtaposition of old and […] -
Non-Automotive Outtake: Eugene Offers Free Bubble Bath To All Comers
Posted on April 4, 2013 | 11 CommentsIn our regular walking haunts of Eugene, I do notice (and shoot) things other than old cars. Enjoying the lateness of daylight last night, we were making our back via […] -
Getting Passed On The Right By A Chrysler New Yorker With Drooping Eyelids
Posted on April 4, 2013 | 31 CommentsAnother speed-crazed maniac driving a car whose eyes aren’t even open. -
Museum Classics: The Pioneer Auto Show in Murdo, South Dakota
Posted on April 4, 2013 | 27 CommentsOne needs to make the best of a situation. During a recent bout of insomnia, I was thumbing through some old pictures and stumbled upon these. While heading for Oregon […] -
CC Outtake: Because It’s Not A Proper Continental Without It
Posted on April 3, 2013 | 65 CommentsThere is no American automotive affectation that grinds my gears more than “continental kits”. OK; these like this one are just a bad joke (I hope), that can’t be taken […] -
CC Outtake: “Would You Like To Hear About My Volt?” “Umm, No Thanks”
Posted on April 3, 2013 | 83 CommentsI was standing there at the corner of this business’ parking lot, camera up to my eyes to take a picture of these two fine cars next to each other, […]
