Curbside Classics: 1958, 1959, & 1960 Lincolns Photographed Curbside (in Kodachrome!)
Posted on January 9, 2023 | 47 CommentsIt recently came to my attention that among the “loved-or-hated” 1958-60 generation of Lincoln motorcars, there are only curbside examples profiled on CC of the 1958 and 1960 models . […] -
CC Twofer: 1987 Nissan Skyline (R31) Excel Saloon & 1994 Ford Mustang Convertible – Beauty And The Beast, But Which Is Which?
Posted on June 29, 2022 | 12 CommentsNow that’s a two-car garage I’m sure many at CC would approve of! Perhaps neither car would be anyone’s first choice – Mustangs of this era are a bit blobby […] -
CC Twofer: 1996 Mazda Capella (CG) Sedan & (GV) Wagon – Fear And Loathing In Hiroshima
Posted on April 15, 2022 | 9 CommentsThere were many problems with Mazda’s product and branding strategy in the ‘90s — so many, in fact, that the company’s future was in jeopardy. Most of it had to […] -
CC Capsule/Twofer: 2012-18 Bentley Continental GT & 2013-22 Rolls-Royce Wraith – Two Burly British Bulldogs, Sniffing Each Other’s Exhaust
Posted on April 6, 2022 | 14 CommentsRolls versus Bentley? Shouldn’t that be Rolls and Bentley? I still have trouble accepting these two as rival companies – or rather, branches of rival companies. I don’t think there […] -
CC Twofer/QOTD: 1965 & 1977 Volkswagen Type 2 Transporter – The T1/T2 Kombilemma
Posted on March 23, 2022 | 19 CommentsIt doesn’t matter whether we’re talking about Tokyo, or the world at large, or even CC itself: the VW Type 2 is everywhere and it is universally loved. Perhaps even […] -
CC Twofer: 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 CE (W123) & 1997 Fiat Barchetta – Eiswein And OJ, Or The Tokyo Euro Mimosa
Posted on November 12, 2021 | 7 CommentsThese two are often seen together in a nearby parking lot. I’ve seen them parked next to one another (always in this configuration) for over a year now. Sometimes, one […] -
CC Twofer: 1989 & 1992 Toyota Crown (S130) Deluxe – One And Almost The Same
Posted on October 21, 2021 | 14 CommentsI know, I know – I’m pushing it. It seems not too many of you care for these S130s. Or even Toyota Crowns in general? Still, you have to work […] -
CC Twofer: 1989 & 1993 Lancia Delta HF Integrale – Unlikely Pair In Disrepair
Posted on June 9, 2021 | 8 CommentsOn the whole, there are fewer desperately broken or unkempt cars in Japan, but there are always exceptions. I’ve featured a few in previous posts, but this time we are […] -
CC Twofer: 1992 & 1999 Toyota Soarer (Z30) – The Difficult Third Opus
Posted on June 8, 2021 | 12 CommentsIt’s an old show-business trope that a band or artist’s the debut LP would put them on the map and, hopefully, would be followed by a hit record. The tricky […] -
CC Twofer: 1974 BMW 2002 Automatic & 1970 BMW 2002 Ti – Right In The Kidneys
Posted on May 21, 2021 | 11 CommentsI hadn’t prowled for CCs in a little while, and I felt that this day might be a good one, so I went far. The hunch paid off – even […] -
CC Twofer: 1992 Toyota MR2 (W20) G-Limited & 1996 Toyota Corolla Levin (AE110) BZ-G – Well-Red Or Just Overripe?
Posted on March 19, 2021 | 9 CommentsSeems as if someone likes his ‘90s Toyota coupés to be on the scarlet side of the spectrum. The thing is, they’re both built by the same carmaker, both in […] -
CC Twofer: 1995 Citroën Xantia Saloon & 1999 Wagon – Last Of The Green Bloods
Posted on February 18, 2021 | 15 CommentsFrench car geeks have a saying: “Nothing beats a well-born hydro Citroën.” Well-born means the ones that were made for a long time and sold in good numbers, such as […] -
CC Twofer: 1990 Chevrolet Caprice Brougham LS & Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL (W126) – Blue Collar Meets Blue Blood
Posted on January 25, 2021 | 24 CommentsTokyo is 9400km away from Stuttgart and 10,300km away from Detroit, so both of these big beauties traveled about the same distance to end up next to each other. From […] -
CC Twofer: 1982 Citroën 2CV 6 Charleston & 1976 Citroën 2CV AKS Fourgonnette – Fraternal Flat-Twins
Posted on January 6, 2021 | 14 CommentsAll hail the immortal tin snail! We’ve covered the 2CV pretty extensively on CC already – I’ve even written one of these up myself. My recent jaunt back to France […] -
CC Twofer: 1967 Volkswagen 1500 & 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 S (W108) – Matching Numbers
Posted on December 7, 2020 | 12 CommentsWere those black beauties expecting me? I had already seen them separately – I even featured the Beetle in one of my Singles posts and was about to do the […]
