Car Spot: Subaru Sambar

OK, another truck but a really cool one. One of the cool things Mark and I love about going up to Road America is that chances are we are going to discover a really cool vehicle like this week's spot, a Subaru Sambar. This looks to be an early 90s example. The Sumbar began production... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: Bentley S1

Looks like a Rolls Royce but it's not So I pull up to grab some beer at a local convenience store and right next to me is this cool-looking Rolls, or I thought it was until I spotted the Bentley B on it. An image search shows it being a Bentley S1, this week's car... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: Studebaker Lark and Pickup

One of the last of the independents that just ran out of cash ... Being a big fan of the cars from American Motors, I can appreciate what Studebaker brought to market and how they tried to challenge the Big Three. Like AMC, at times they were brilliant, but other times, not so much. In... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: 61 Rambler Cross Country

A time when wagons roamed the country ... Just in case you couldn't tell, I have a soft spot for the cars and Jeeps made by American Motors Corp. Maybe it was because my dad worked there for 17 years starting in 1963 and ending just after Chrysler bought AMC. Not sure why he did,... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: 1997 Dodge Viper GTS

Built when Dodge was in total fun mode ... Bob Lutz is one of my all-time favorite car guys. He brought so much to the automotive world in fun cars like this week's spot, the Dodge Viper. Looking to create a modern-day Cobra, the first prototype was tested in January 1989 and went on sale... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: A Camaro with some extra zip

Better than factory and more fun ... The Chevy Camaro was second on the scene in the pony car era debuting on Sept. 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year a bit after the Ford Mustang. Four distinct generations of the Camaro have been developed before production ended for the first time in 2002. Chevy... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: 71 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible

This is one sweet ride The cool thing about an auction is that you will probably see a special car that you've never heard of before. Such is the case of a 71 Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible that came up for sale a couple of weeks ago at the Mecum auction in Chicago this week's car... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: 67 Chevy El Camino

Following Ford into a hot market ... Ford has caught Chevy napping more than once in automotive history. Every car person knows about the Mustang, but did you know about the El Camino, the subject of this week's car spot. It was legendary designer Harley J. Earl, who had suggested Chevy make a coupé pick-up... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: AMC Pacer

Another swing for the fence car from America’s smallest automaker. When you’re up against big car companies with big budgets and big lineups you have to do things differently as was the case for American Motors in the 70s. They were all about different in that time period first with the Gremlin in 1970 and... Continue Reading →
