Honest car reviews both big and small
The original hybrid For the most part, compact cars of the '60s were nothing to write home about. Basic transportation was the answer to higher fuel prices and imports. Ford's entry was the Falcon, today almost forgotten, but it was how the Mustang, and this week's spot, a 67 Ford Ranchero, came about. The snazzy... Continue Reading →
Typical late 60s car with power and style ... I think the mid- to late-60s were the golden age for American automobile manufacturers, mainly because horsepower was king and each company was trying to outdo the others. This week's spot, a 67 Dodge RT Coronet Convertible, is a great example. I found this spot this... Continue Reading →
Famously called "the most beautiful car ever made" by Enzo Ferrari When you think of iconic cars from the '60s, the ones I think about are the '63 Split Window Corvette, '64 Pontiac GTO, '65 Mustang, 1966 Lamborghini Miura, and this week's spot, the Jaguar E-Type. Actually, some consider it the greatest sports car of... Continue Reading →
A twentieth-century Conestoga wagon In some ways VW of the 60s could be compared to Chrysler of 80s utilizing one platform to create so many vehicles. This week's spot, a VW single cab pickup is a great example of the company's ingenuity. Introduced in the early 50s it was one of the most advanced commercial... Continue Reading →
AMC's replacement for the Gremlin As much as I love American Motors, there were times when they rode with a model too long. Take, for example, the Gremlin. Introduced in 1970, they made changes, but should have moved on way before 1978. Sales were strong early in its production, peaking at over 170,000 units in... Continue Reading →
Brought to you by the same guy who imported the Yugo If you're a regular reader of my posts you know that I'm a lover of all cars weird. I'd have to be to be an AMC geek. This spot comes from Malcom Bricklin, importer of the Subaru 360 that I found earlier this year... Continue Reading →
It's like driving from your living room If you were looking for a luxury car, the mid-70s had lots to choose from. With just about every option available, you could fit comfortably into a Chrysler New Yorker and Cordoba, Lincoln Continental Mark V, Ford Thunderbird, Cadillac Eldorado, Buick Riviera, or this week's spot, the Riviera's...

The first half-million dollar one I've seen in the wild About a month ago my wife and I went down to Grapevine TX to visit our daughter who works as a safety officer at DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport) and take in the Packer-Cowboy game. Everything is bigger in Dallas and AT&T stadium is huge.... Continue Reading →
Another swing for the fence for that plucky little car company It happens only once every three years, the Kenosha Homecoming Car Show, and this year I had a chance to take it in. It was great seeing all kinds of American Motors cars built just down the road. The company also had a large... Continue Reading →
And I know the story why he bought this VW How often do you stumble upon in a museum and know the story behind it before even reading the story board that goes with it? Probably, rarely, right? So we’re in Dallas visiting daughter Meg, who recently moved there, and going to attend the Packers... Continue Reading →
