Car Spot: 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Convertible

Oldsmobile's final drop-top Nothing says Summer in Wisconsin than a convertible. This week's spot is an early 70's Oldsmobile Delta 88 Convertible. A sunny day with temps in the mid-70s is just the perfect day for a car like this. Would have been tough to miss this gen in the parking lot of the golf... Continue Reading →

1932 Cadillac V16 Sport Phaeton

Auto World’s 1932 Cadillac V16 Sport Phaeton I’m no authority on pre-war classic cars, but most car crazies like me recognize the Cadillac V16 or Sixteen as it was often called. This was Cadillac’s most powerful and expensive car to date when introduced at the New York Auto Show in January of 1930. Talk about... Continue Reading →

Car Spot: Saturn Sky

This fun little two-seater never had a chance If you’ve read any of my previous spots about General Motors cars, I’ve shared how the company had what seemed at the time a good idea but it ends up getting killed by a bloated corporate culture. This week's spot, a Saturn Sky, is yet another example.... Continue Reading →

Diecast: Auto World’s 1947 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible

A stylish 1:18 scale Series 62 with opening hood, trunk, doors ... Cadillac was near the top of the U.S. automotive world as far as a reputation for luxury coupled with performance prior to World War II.  Oh sure, there was Packard too, but the Series 62 Caddy was king of the heap. And of... Continue Reading →

So that’s a Matador

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 →

2020 Ford Expedition Max Platinum 4×4

Expedition Max redefines big luxury truck ... There’s big, and then there’s Max. In this case Max is Ford’s new Expedition Max, as if the original Expedition weren’t large enough. Apparently it was not. The Max is nearly a full foot longer than the original’s 210 inches and this special Burgundy Velvet Metallic ($395) test... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: NEO’s 1956 Buick Centurion XP-301

Buick's 1956 concept car really did have futuristic features ... GM’s concept cars of the 1950s were showcased in traveling shows called Motorama and actually looked futuristic and in some cases included features that would show up on future cars, sometimes way into the future. One was the bright red over white Buick Centurion XP-301... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Automodello’s 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport

Riviera was one of the few sleek Buicks, ever … I can still remember the first time I saw a Buick Riviera. As a kid, I was wowed. Its sleek lines, the headlights canted forward to make it look fast and sporty. There was just something about it that oozed elegance and class, and a... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: NEO’s 1959 Chevy El Camino

Chevrolet's first El Camino blends car, truck ... Today the blending of cars and trucks seems natural as SUVs and crossovers have become the preferred mode of personal transportation in the United States. But in the late 1950s and early 1960s such a thought was downright odd. Ford stirred the beast first when it created the Ranchero and... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: BoS-Models 1957 Imperial Crown Southampton

Imperial Crown Southampton: When styling still mattered ... As a kid I, like many folks at the time, liked cars with jet-like fins. Plus I’ve always been a sucker for the cool fake spare tire molded into the trunk lid. So Imperials, Chrysler’s luxury brand, were, and are, a favorite. Few Imperials were more impressive...
