Honest car reviews both big and small
The car made famous by Roger Moore Growing up in the 1960s I loved the spy TV shows. The Man from U.N.C.L.E. aired on NBC along with a funny one, Get Smart, while The Avengers aired on ABC (whoa, Emma Peel in those skintight outfits), Mission Impossible on CBS. Later on ABC and then NBC... Continue Reading →
There's nothing smart about this car Known for its massive, and expensive cars, the Smart Car was something really different from Mercedes Benz. It all started in 1972 when they decided to explore what cars of the new millennium would look like. The 1973 oil crisis convinced them that they should move forward with a... Continue Reading →
GM's other two-seater Did you know that with the exception of Oldsmobile, all of GM's passenger-car divisions offered two-seaters during the late 1980s and early 1990s? There was Chevrolet Corvette, Pontiac Fiero, Cadillac Allante, and this week's car spot, the Buick Reatta. I think it's a cool-looking car but America didn't. Introduced in 1988, the Buick Reatta...

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 →
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 →
A Mustang fully loaded Most of us think of the performance-based Mustangs targeted towards the youth market yet there was one that took a different direction, the upscale Grande. Produced from 1969 to 1973 it was only available as a hardtop. It had tons of options, 45 to be exact, which was a lot at... Continue Reading →
AMC’s entry into the personal luxury market. American Motors almost always had to swing for the fence when it came to introducing new products because they didn’t have the big budgets to work with like GM, Ford, and Chrysler did. The same went for their marketing. Enter the second generation Matador in 1974 and with... Continue Reading →
And we didn't even know each other were car guys then Author (left), Darrel (right) on set doing a special on the Milwaukee Brewers just before the '82 World Series where they lost to the St. Louis Cardinals. It was a fun season! It's funny how life sometimes comes full circle and you are reunited... Continue Reading →
More valuable to this family than any other car By Paul Daniel I love going car spotting but sometimes the cars come to me like this 1963 Corvair. One of the fun things I do during the summer is work at Ironwood Golf Course, about five minutes from my house. One day I show up... Continue Reading →
A bright spot for American Motors I remember my dad, who worked at the National Parts Distribution Center in Milwaukee, came home one day in February 1970 and told me the big news that AMC had bought Jeep. I was probably just as excited as he was knowing that we would soon be having Jeeps... Continue Reading →
