V.I.S.I.T: 1960 Cadillac Sedan de Ville
/
/
comments
When I arrived at home, I most certainly did not expect to see this, let alone on the Fourth of July. If this isn’t Americana, I don’t know what is. This, my friends, is a 1960 Cadillac Sedan de Ville. It’s not in the greatest shape, but I assume it got here under its own power.…

Found on Craigslist: Citroën Ute
/
/
comments
There are several things that make my heart flutter: Citroëns, utes, and one-off cars. I think I just found the Holy Grail. Hoons, I present to you, this inexplicable beast. My taste in cars is admittedly a bit perverse, and this… thing is something else entirely. Ute conversions are certainly nothing new, though it’s not often that one…

A Special Sort of Mustang
/
/
comments
I consider myself a Mustang fan, so when I received an invitation to check out a special one prepared for a movie, I jumped at the chance. Cars designed for both the big and small screen catch my attention. Granted, this isn’t the 1968 GT 390 Fastback used in Bullitt, or heck, even the Cobra II…

For Sale: Chrysler TC by Maserati

comments
My taste in cars is… questionable, at best. By that, I mean that I should probably be tied up and thrown into the loony bin. I have a weakness for turbo Mopar goodness, be it the mighty GLHS, or your aunt’s Sundance RS. At the top of this mountain of ill-conceived and badly-built Americana is…

2013 West Coast All AMC Car Show

comments
Today, I bring you something very, very special. As you might know, I am a huge fan of anything related to American Motors. I visited paradise… or something pretty close to it. The 2013 edition of the West Coast All AMC Car Show took place today at the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum, in Pomona, California. The show was hosted…

For Sale: Citation X-11
/
/
comments
First of all, these still exist? Second, where do I sign way my soul? The Citation is a largely forgotten car from the early 1980s, when American car companies were still stuck in the Malaise era. For those of you who don’t know, the X-11 package packs a 2.8 liter V6 pumping out an amazing 135 horsepower,…

For Sale: Ford Mustang II – The King of Kings
/
/
comments
As I’ve mentioned previously, Malaise is my specialty. What I particularly like are the tape-and-stripe packages, especially those with a mascot. Just look at that snake. If this car doesn’t remind of the disco era, I don’t know what will.

For Sale: A Limousine Fit for Royalty

comments
Suppose that you like Jaguars, but crave something a tad more exclusive. Well, have we got the car for you! The now-defunct Daimler served as Jaguar’s glitzier stablemate, meant to chase after those who might otherwise find themselves ensconced in the rear seat of a Bentley or Rolls-Royce. The Double-Six was Daimler’s version of the…

Craigslist: Lancia Flaminia stokes my flamed-out fire
/
/
comments
Lancia is one of those brands that will always be welcome in my heart, even if the car in question is a rusted heap formerly known as a Beta. While perusing Craigslist (like the lunatic that I am), I came across this poor Flaminia. Pre-Stratos, the Lancia that comes to mind for most is the…

Bonjour, les Amis [New writer alert!]

Greetings, all. I suppose I should take some time and introduce myself. My name is Shant, and I come bearing news: I’m the new guy here. I love cars of all types, be they microcars built in the Eastern Bloc, or the latest and greatest sports car. If it has wheels and an engine, chances…
