COAL: 1975 Ford Thunderbird – Preparing for Flight
Posted on October 22, 2014 | 37 CommentsAlways getting the same flavor of ice cream is boring. There are times when a vanilla cone sounds right when other times you want the biggest, gnarliest sundae available. This […] -
CC Outtake: A Vision In White
Posted on October 4, 2014 | 30 CommentsRemember the Hannibal Car Show I wrote about? Well, after the show, Jason gave me the nickel tour of Hannibal. As we were driving along, I spotted something interesting–this Buick […] -

CC Outtake: That Rarest Of Vegas

Posted on November 20, 2013 | 49 CommentsHere’s a sleeping land yacht I captured close to a year ago: A 1975 Sedan de Ville. Seeing driver-condition mid-’70s Cadillacs are quite rare here, so this one was a […] -
Car Show Classic: The Highway Star – The Most ’70s Van I’ve Ever Seen

Cruise Night Outtake: Breathed-On Celica Style!
Posted on August 22, 2013 | 10 CommentsSince I have Celicas on the brain this week, how about a decidedly non-stock version? Sure, it looks mostly normal, (save the racing stripes) but as I recall this 1975-77 […] -
