Promo model: 1948 Hudson Hornet

Usually when I get ready to make a new blog post on a promo model I have seen it for sale at some auction site but this time I took a bit of a different run at it. I tried to find the car first. In this case a 1948 Hudson Hornet. Why that? Sure... Continue Reading →

Promo model: Restored 1966 Ford Galaxie 500

Turning a junker into a gem Barn find is a term used when somebody finds a really special car which has been sitting in the corner of a barn all covered up. What the treasure hunter will do is restore the car to the way it came out of the factory. But restoration projects are... Continue Reading →

Promo model: Pontiac Firebird

The Pony Car market was red hot in 1967. After seeing what Ford had in the Mustang introduced three years before, the other manufactures jumped into the game big time. General Motors had two entries in the game, the Chevy Camaro and Pontiac Firebird which shared the same F-body platforms. There were differences between the... Continue Reading →

Promo model: 63 Rambler Classic

Even though I was only 9 in 1963...there, I blew the cover on my age, I still remember a lot about that year, the Kennedy assassination for sure.

Promo model: AMC Hornet

Who doesn't love a good car chase? Show of hands. Yup, that's everybody. Good car chases are a big part of a movie. Perhaps the first one that comes to mind is the classic chase in Bullitt.
