CC Capsule: 1976 Cadillac Sedan DeVille – A Vision in Amberlite Firemist
Posted on July 2, 2014 | 54 CommentsAt first, I thought it was another mid-70s Olds Ninety Eight. I found one of those in this very parking lot a year before (see it here). Because really, the […] -
Auction Capsule: 1976 Jeep Wagoneer – Driven to the Auction
Posted on June 17, 2014 | 27 CommentsMost of the cars at any classic-car auction are brought on a trailer. But not this Jeep Wagoneer. Its owner drove it to the auction all the way from St. […] -
Rolling Classic: Great Scott, A Volaré!
Posted on June 10, 2014 | 43 CommentsLast Friday morning I was turning from my condominium’s drive onto the street when a caramel-colored 1976-77 Volaré sedan went by. I had not yet gotten any coffee into my […] -
CC Outtake: That Rarest Of Vegas
Posted on February 25, 2014 | 74 CommentsQuick, what’s the rarest Vega? A Cosworth, you say. No, no. Though rare when new, they have since wound up the most common, being about the only Vega that was […] -
Car Show Classic: The Highway Star – The Most ’70s Van I’ve Ever Seen
Posted on November 11, 2013 | 50 CommentsOkay, I was not even born until after the Van Craze was on the way out. Missed it by “that” much! But for you friendly folks who lived through the […] -
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 […] -
’70s Chevy Classics: Attack Of The Big Wheels
Posted on May 28, 2013 | 55 CommentsIt is by no means a new phenomenon, but it seems there are more and more “big wheels” running about my area. Some are very over-the-top (Sunkist or Crown Royal […] -
What If: Chevrolet Vega and Ford Pinto Four-Door Wagons
Posted on November 11, 2012 | 52 CommentsThe Vega has been discussed here on CC ad infinitum (if you missed it, further reading on CC can be found here and here), so I won’t rehash what all […] -
Vega Sighting, Midwestern Edition – Not Strictly Stock
Posted on October 5, 2012 | 23 CommentsThis past Friday, I drove up to Iowa City for the U of I homecoming and parade. As I was driving through West Liberty, I saw something I haven’t seen […] -
Curbside Classic: 1976 BMW 2002 – The Ultimate Big-Bumpered Driving Machine
Posted on August 14, 2012 | 34 CommentsThis is a milestone car–not just for BMW, but for the whole future of the sport-sedan segment, now such a large one. Plenty of folks have written about the original […] -
CC Outtakes: Polar Opposites In Polo
Posted on July 16, 2012 | 21 CommentsThose of you who frequently read CC may have noticed a lack of articles from me recently. Well, last week I took a few days off to go up to […] -
CC Capsule: 1976 Malibu Classic – What, No Vinyl Roof?
Posted on June 11, 2012 | 35 CommentsToday I set out to find a classic Colonnade Monte Carlo to shoot, but it just didn’t work out. Although no Monte Carlos were found, I did find something interesting […] -
What If: May I Present The Monte Malibu?
Posted on May 12, 2012 | 30 CommentsWe have generated quite a bit of lively discussion recently on the 1974 and 1976 Malibu posts. Clearly there are quite a bit of opinions regarding the Malibu’s nose between […]
