Car Show Classic: 1965 Rambler Ambassador 990 Convertible – Green and White Is Good!
Posted on January 27, 2014 | 40 CommentsI have a real love for the 1965 Ambassadors. Part of that may be due to my chance encounter with a lilac 1965 880 sedan back in the late ’90s, […] -
Mini CC: Corvair Monza And F100 By Racing Champions – For The Mini-Niedermeyers
Posted on April 8, 2013 | 6 CommentsWe’ve heard about the Cars Of A Lifetime of the Niedermeyers, and the “Not-Niedermeyers” as well. So may I present this fleet for the Mini-Niedermeyers? One will certainly look familiar […] -
Cohort Outtake: Hello, Lovely
Posted on March 25, 2013 | 40 CommentsI had to share this wonderful ’65 Bonnie recently posted to the Cohort by channaher. 1965 may well be the best year ever for Detroit iron (or is it ’55?) […] -
Cohort Sighting: 1965 Buick Skylark–Very Ap-peel-ing
Posted on February 2, 2013 | 29 CommentsGM’s first intermediates –the 1964-67 Chevelle, Tempest/LeMans, F85/Cutlass, and Special/Skylark–were well-proportioned and appealing automobiles. The hardtop coupes shared an elegant roof that pushed the A-body’s appeal right over the top. […] -
Moving Target: A ’65 Ford? In This Weather?
Posted on January 26, 2013 | 32 CommentsFor some reason, despite being smack-dab in the Midwest the Quad Cities are rife with Curbside Classics. I see stuff all the time, and now that I am a camera-carrying driver, […] -
CCOTY: More Nominations
Posted on December 14, 2012 | 31 CommentsThe ’65 Mustang was a seminal car for many reasons. But 1965 was an uncommonly rich year for new designs, and not everyone bought (or wanted) a Mustang. With CCers […] -
CCOTY Nomination: 1965 Mustang
Posted on December 14, 2012 | 19 CommentsI hate conformity, at least in cars. It is funny how the car that conformed the least to the extablished order of things in 1965 has become one of the […] -
Pageside Classics: When Pontiac Was At The Top Of Its Game
Posted on December 6, 2012 | 44 CommentsIf Paul’s 1994-96 GP post yesterday got you CCers down, here’s the antidote: Pontiac in its prime. While the cars themselves looked awfully good, the wonderful artwork by Van Kaufman […] -
Automotive History: Mid-Size Madness – What Would You Have Chosen In ’65?
Posted on November 29, 2012 | 102 CommentsIf you’re in the market for a midsize car today, you have plenty of choices–providing you want a four-door bar of soap. Oh sure, there are several nameplates from which […] -
Car Show Outtakes: Camping, Colony Park Style
Posted on September 13, 2012 | 13 CommentsI recently went to the Hooters charity car show, in Davenport, which attracts lots of cool vintage iron. We’ll leave the full walk-and-talk of this show for another time, however. […] -
What If: Alternate 1965 Full-Size Chevy Taillights – Plan B?
Posted on September 6, 2012 | 34 CommentsBack in June there was discussion on CC regarding the 1965 Impala’s unusual, yet distinctive, taillight treatment. Please know that I am solidly in favor of the existing design; that said, […] -
CC Outtake: 1965 International Pickup – Go Where You Want to Go
Posted on June 26, 2012 | 28 CommentsFinding an International pickup of this vintage is unusual. It is especially unusual if it’s a 3/4 ton 4×4. So when I saw this recently, I was compelled to cut […] -
Curbside Classic: 1965-66 HD Holden Special Station Sedan: The Down Under, 3/4 Scale 1962 Oldsmobile
Posted on June 4, 2012 | 40 Comments(first posted 7/6/2012) Time for something a little different. As diverse as the automotive makeup of Eugene is, there is very little chance of Paul running across one of […] -
Late Night Outtake: Gone To The Dogs?
Posted on May 18, 2012 | 14 CommentsThis one’s for you Paul. I was coming out of the Moline Public Library earlier this week when I spotted this 1965 Pontiac, guarded by two Labs. It is a […] -
Curbside Comparison: Compact Conundrum – Who Would You Choose in ’60, ’65 and ’69
Posted on May 11, 2012 | 70 CommentsWe all know how it actually went, as the Falcon led the big 3 small car parade in 1960. But never before did the mighty big 3 contribute 3 vastly […]
