CC Clue

CC Outtake: How Many Scoops Is Too Much?

Road Trip Outtake: Still Here After All These Decades
Posted on September 22, 2012 | 19 CommentsI am currently on a trip visiting friends and family. On Saturday my travels took me past these two Volkswagen vans. Yeah, they look a bit forlorn. What’s interesting about […] -

Posted on September 22, 2012 | 43 Comments(Image by CC’er Tim Brands) It’s 1978. A revolution has engulfed Saudi Arabia, and oil prices are spiraling out of sight. In the US, gasoline rationing is in effect, and […] -
CC Outtake: Squaring Off
Posted on September 21, 2012 | 7 CommentsThere’s still a couple of gen1 Civics on the streets here, but they’re going fast. So when I find one, I have to stop and celebrate the moment, especially when […] -
CC Clue: Gray Day, Gray Car
Posted on September 21, 2012 | 6 CommentsThe Fiat 128 is not a commonly seen car these days, but that didn’t keep NZ Skyliner from correctly guessing Kevin Martin’s latest Brougham Antidote-and on the first try, too. […] -
CC Outtake: Cadillac Antidote
Posted on September 21, 2012 | 13 CommentsI like Cadillacs, you like Cadillacs, we all like Cadillacs. Well, maybe not everybody. For those of you who have gotten a little too much Cadillac info on CC today, […] -
CC Outtake: 1991 Mazda 323 Hatchback – Another Forgotten Car, And A Forbidden One
Posted on September 21, 2012 | 34 CommentsMaybe we should start a new category for forgotten cars–those obscure and forgettable models that have fallen off the radar or excised from our over-crowded memory banks. Admittedly, it was […] -

Car Show Outtake: Diplomatic
Posted on September 20, 2012 | 30 CommentsHere’s something for you M-body fans. I shot this ’85 Diplomat in 2008, at the Geneseo car show. This had to be the nicest Diplomat I’d ever seen, restored to […] -

Posted on September 20, 2012 | 35 CommentsI’ve driven past this neglected ’64 GP for years now, and never stopped. But with all of this GM Deadliness in the air, I decided that my truss order could […] -
COAL Clue: The Next Brougham Antidote
Posted on September 19, 2012 | 7 CommentsThe Clue has taken a brief vacation, but is back again. The 1984 Eldorado was harder than finding an original running HT4100, but Sean came through. So what will […]
