Honest car reviews both big and small
This car was a star ... While doing some research for this blog entry, I checked out the Internet for famous TV cars. I found the obvious, like the Batmobile, and lesser known ones, like the 1960 BMW Isetta 300 (Family Matters), and the 1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser (That ’70s Show). None of them listed...

Whatever floats your boat I love Corvairs. They were Chevy's answer to the VW Bug when introduced in 1960. But they didn't just make a car, they had a whole line of vehicles, including vans and pickups like the Rampside in this week's spot. No, wait, it was not like the other Rampsides at all....

Sporty performance at an affordable price In the 1960s the one thing that American Motors needed was an attention getter, something to pull the younger “in crowd” into the dealer showrooms and shake that stogy image of making cars your parents wanted to drive. That car was the AMX, a 69 just like this week's... Continue Reading →
Making the most with limited dollars I love the story of an underdog. You regular followers know about the special place I have in my heart for all things American Motors. The same holds true for Studebaker. With limited funds, they did a remarkable job doing battle with GM, Ford, and Chrysler just like AMC... Continue Reading →
A time capsule from Toledo Why fix something that's not broken? That was Jeep Corporation's strategy in the 60's. So many Jeeps were derived from the SJ platform like my spot this week, a 69 Kaiser Jeep J-3000 Gladiator Pickup Truck I discovered at the Chicago Auto Show. This Gladiator looked just like it had...

A fun car left by the side of the road as yard art I'm always on the lookout for my next spot and when we're in the car together it sometimes drives my wife nuts when I find a place to make a U-turn and circle back for some pictures. Since our daughter now lives... Continue Reading →
The end of the line for a really fun car Its hard to image but the Pontiac Firebird has now been gone for 16 years. Debuting in 1967 just five months after its sister car the Camaro hit the road it became an iconic muscle car that helped define the genre. This week's spot, a... Continue Reading →
Its driver loves speed So the other day I was tagging along with fellow car buddy Darrel Burnett at the Automobile Gallery of Green Bay on a tour and spot this car. Wait a minute, I know this this car! It was maybe 40 years ago when Darrel and I were working at the same... Continue Reading →
Drive a piece of history It all began with the race in 1911 where a Stoddard-Dayton paced the cars at the Indy 500. Yup, I wouldn't have guessed that name either since it's one of the long-gone automotive names. It actually paced two more 500s, 1913 and 1914. Being out in front of the 33... Continue Reading →
A story about getting a second chance at owning a dream car How often have you said, "I wish I still had that car?". For me, it's a 1970 AMX that blew its engine while I was driving it back home to Green Bay. I was in way over my head with that car and... Continue Reading →
