Car Spot: Mopar madness
70's classic muscle The late 60s and early '70s were great for car guys, and gals, because it was a great time to be into muscle cars.

Die-cast: Auto World 1977 Dodge Warlock

A car built in the big fin era I love big fins as mentioned in my previous post on another Chrysler product, the Imperial. For me it's as much a piece of art as it is an automobile. Think about it, what car stands out for you now? Sure some do like the Corvette for... Continue Reading →
