Car Spot: 1966 Ford GT 40 Mk 1

The legendary mid-engined sports car for the streets If you're like me, you have watched the movie Ford v Ferrari at least a dozen times. While I love all that Carol Shelby has done, I developed a great appreciation for what Ken Miles added to the story. Sure, he was kind of rough around the... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: 1960 Chrysler 300F Convertible

Chrysler goes head-to-head with Cadillac Despite its $7,500 sticker price, well beyond what the average American made in an entire year, Cadillac sold 1,285 Eldorado Biarritz convertibles in 1960. Just a hunch, I suspect they weren't sold to shy, retiring types. I'll see your Caddy and raise you this, said Chrysler. Chrysler responded with a... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: 1973 Triumph Stag

Remember the Triumph Stag? OK, not many will, but it was a hot commodity originally due to appearing in a James Bond film.

Car Spot: 1969 AMC Hurst SC/Rambler

Cram a large engine into a small car for big fun The late 60s and early 70s were a great time to be a fan of American Motors. That scrappy little car manufacturer from Kenosha, WI, kept pumping out cars on a shoestring budget that got the attention of the gearheads. This week's spot, a... Continue Reading →

Snow wasn't forecast, but we got a light dusting. As this area is known to put down copious amounts of salt, we were surprised to see this... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: 1st-generation K-5 Chevy Blazer

More than just a pretty drop-top Once the weather warms up here in Wisconsin, I love going topless. Whoa there, this is a G-rated blog entry, and you wouldn't want to see my dad bod without a shirt on. I'm talking about car owners who drop the top on their vehicles, like this week's spot,...

Car Spot: Pontiac Solstice

It was only with us for 5 short years I can't think of a car guy who has been more instrumental in bringing so much performance to the market than Bob Lutz. The ex-Marine, while at Ford of Europe, led the creation of the Ford Escort III and Ford Sierra, at Chrysler, the Viper, and... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: 69 Olds Vista-Cruiser

The most famous of the 33,387 that were built that year. If you grew up in the 70s like I did, your family most likely had 2 cars in the garage, a sedan and a station wagon. For us, it was a 63 Rambler Classic 4-door and a 67 Rebel Wagon. Mom and Dad took... Continue Reading →
