Car Spot: 1969 Firebird Convertible

A better buy than its Camaro cousin? So which is better, the Camaro or the Firebird? You'd get great arguments for both of them. The owner of this 1969 Firebird convertible would certainly argue for his ride. This one is cherry and I've seen it here before at the golf course that I work at... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: Early 60’s VW Beetle

A car that generates instant smiles When you think of all the cars ever made, there are just a handful that would be considered iconic. The Jeep CJ's, Corvettes, and the VW Beetle. Introduced as "The People's Car" in 1938, millions of Type 1 were produced all over the world. I'm not a Bug expert... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: Early 60’s Lincoln Continental

The golden era for American luxury sedans One of the era’s most enduring icons is the 4th generation Lincoln Continental, a car that would be forever etched in the minds of a generation who saw a President assassinated in one on November 22, 1963.

This fun little two-seater never had a chance If you’ve read any of my previous spots about General Motors cars, I’ve shared how the company had what seemed at the time a good idea but it ends up getting killed by a bloated corporate culture.

Car Spot: Pontiac Fiero

A fun two-seater that died way before its time The more of these car spots I do and looking at the history of each vehicle I'm finding a common theme with those built by General Motors, great idea and crappy execution.

Car Spot: VW Scirocco

One of VW's wind cars The Scirocco first landed in North America in 1974 and Volkswagon's intent for the coupe, with its edgy design, was to replace its aging bubbly-looking Karmann Ghia. VW's Golf couldn't be that replacement because that was intended to succeed the Beetle platform. The Scirocco was meant to be a more... Continue Reading →

Car spot: A British classic

Even though they are now owned by a Chinese company When I think of great British automotive names, Lotus immediatley comes to mind mainly because of Jim Clark and Colin Chapman. That dynamic duo won with just about any car they put on the track. It's that great racing heritage that lives on to this... Continue Reading →

Car spot: AMC’s Javelin hit the mark

It took on the Big 3 and won I’ll admit that I love American Motors cars. It seemed the company was always swinging for the fence with every new car.
