Truck Thursday: 1985 Chevrolet Silverado Fleetside Diesel
/

comments
For today’s Truck Thursday contribution from up here in the slushy north, I bring you this 1985 Chevrolet C/K. It’s a Silverado specification with the 6.2-litre Detroit Diesel, so certainly worthy. All of the chrome on it looks so good, even if it stands out well enough by itself.

Wagon Wednesday: 1995 Chevrolet Caprice Classic

comments
Last month, we drove to the nearby town for some burgers and a stroll around the snowy streets. The burgers there are a good enough reason to drive over, and taking a couple casual photos of this Caprice wagon fit the picture.

Weekend Edition: The 1989-1993 Honda Accord Coupé
/

comments
In the follow-up to last post’s third generation Honda Accord coupé, you can see the fourth generation car tread similar water as the Acura-branded cars. Especially in sandy beige with frying pan wheels, the newer coupe manages to look somehow Legend-like. Not legend-ary, as that would have stolen sales from the bigger coupe relative, right?

Weekend Edition: The 1987-1989 Honda Accord Coupé
/

comments
It took until today for me to become aware of the late-’80s Honda Accord Coupé. Call me a slowpoke, but somehow the attractive, two-door bigger brother of the Prelude had eluded my sights so far. I certainly knew about the Aerodeck, as they sold the weird two-door wagonback here, pop-ups and all, but the coupe…

Volvo brings out the classics for a 2017 V90 promo shot
/
/
comments
It’s pretty clear Volvo wants the new V90 to stand on the shoulders of giants: in this promotional shot, the new car is parked next to the Duett, the Amazon, the 1800ES, the 240, the 740 and the 850 T-5 R. The rear end isn’t quite as vertical as on most of the old boxes, or…

Sprint in the Slush: 1988 Alfa Romeo Sprint Quadrifoglio Verde
/
/
comments
What do you think would be the kind of car least likely to be seen daily driven in a salted, slushy environment? Anything Italian, knocking on 30 years would be a likely answer, and seeing this Alfa Romeo Sprint parked at a mall was certainly weird. Kudos to the owner for keeping it going, no…

Hooniverse Asks: What Would You Do With This Lonely Citroën V6?
/
/
comments
It’s a lovely problem, isn’t it? Certainly, it’s more likely for a car to lack a working engine, than an engine to lack a fitting car. But that is the issue here, faced by my friend Lauri: he has a perfectly fine, leftover PSA 3.0 24-valve V6, but nowhere to put it. He ended up…

Weekend Edition: Winter Sports in the 1993 Mazda MX-5
/
/
comments
Winter is both awesome and terrible. Spontaneity goes out of the window as cars need to be pre-heated for an hour or so, you have to consider wearing adequate clothing like long johns and then there’s the matter of the white stuff getting absolutely everywhere. Door locks and seals freeze and windows become opaque. With…

Is the 1990s Nissan Pulsar the most boring car turned interesting?
/
/
comments
A friend of mine has a pretty straight-forward approach towards commuter cars. For winter, his idea is to buy the Nissan Sunny that offers the most value for his money – namely, the longest valid inspection for the least initial cash. He will then proceed to drive the car to the ground or until the…

Dumpy Weekend Edition: The Volvo 300-series is a different box on wheels
/
/
comments
The Volvo 300-series was born from a Dutch design, the car that was supposed to become the Daf 77. The daffodil bloomed in a Swedish glasshouse, as Volvo bought a large percentage of the Dutch manufacturer’s automobile division in 1973 and brought the car to the market by 1976. It was still a very much…
