Car Spot: 62 Rambler American Convertible
This car was a star ... While doing some research for this blog entry, I checked out the Internet for famous TV cars.

Car Spot: 69 Kaiser Jeep J-3000 Gladiator Pickup Truck

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...
