“Food Truck Festival.” It’s a thing. Excuse me if I can’t get too excited about standing in a long line for the privilege of paying distinctly trendy prices for something handed to me wrapped in foil, which I then must eat while continuing to stand around.

From an enthusiast’s point of view, two-door cars have traditionally been considered more desirable and attractive than their four-door siblings, due to their sleeker looks and racier pedigree. This beautifully sculpted 1969 Dodge Coronet 440 500 sedan, sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2007, stands as a stark exception to that rule. Conversation Starter: What’s…
