Promo model: 63 Rambler Classic

Even though I was only 9 in 1963...there, I blew the cover on my age, I still remember a lot about that year, the Kennedy assassination for sure. The Beatle's U.S. TV concert, Route 66, and we had just moved from Madison to Milwaukee when dad got a job at....wait for it...American Motors. And to... Continue Reading →

Promo model: VW Karmann Ghia

What were you doing in 1967? For me, even though I was a kid, I was pumped because the Green Bay Packers become the first team in the modern era to win their third consecutive NFL Championship, 21-17 over the Dallas Cowboys in what became known as "The Ice Bowl".  It was a great year...

Promo model: 1965 Chrysler 300

OK, cue the music! " got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down to the Love Shack. I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20 so come on and bring your jukebox money....". Those lyrics sound familiar? How about a clue? It was the B52's biggest hit. Right, Love Shack. If you... Continue Reading →

Promo model: Studebakers

Let's start with a bit of trivia first. What TV show did Studebaker sponsor? I'll start singing the theme. Ooops, forgot you wouldn't be able to hear me. By the way, I do know all the words. One clue. Alan Young f was the star, at least the two legged one. Give up? It was... Continue Reading →

Promo model: 1969 Dodge Coronet 500 Convertible

The rarest of the rare for both the real deal and the promo model I track a lot of auctions both on eBay and some of the others specific to promo models. This weekend, on eBay, I was watching a '69 Dodge Coronet 500 convertible with bidding in 4 figures, something I have not seen... Continue Reading →

Promo model: Nash Metropolitan

In the early 50's most of the car manufacturers were going the "bigger is better" route.  Nash Motor Company executives were examining the market to offer American buyers an economical transportation alternative. In came the Nash Metropolitan. Wait a minute, isn't the all coming around again with cars like the Fiat 500 and Smart Car? Same concept,... Continue Reading →

Promo Model: Chevy Corvair

This is one of my favorite cars, the Chevy Corvair. The compact automobile was produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for the 1960–1969 model years. It was the only American-made,mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. It was General Motors' response to the growing popularity of small, lightweight imported cars such as the original VW Beetle, as well as to compete... Continue Reading →

Promo Model: 62 Buick Electra 225 Convertible

Buick's duce and a quarter is what car guys called the Electra 225. My best friend's dad owned several of these. They were big with lots of power, they were, well, a Buick. The Electra was a full-size premium automobile built by the Buick division of General Motors. The Electra name (in various manners) was used by Buick between 1959 and 1990. It... Continue Reading →

Promo model: 1958 Pontiac Bonneville

I always like Pontiacs, maybe because one of my grandfathers owned a dealership. Even though I was just a kid, I remember going to visit and there was always something new in the driveway. This model though comes from my wires side of the family as they bought one in 1958 and were given the... Continue Reading →

Promo models: AMC AMX’s

This is by far my most favorite car AMC ever made. If I had the cash, and good ones go for about 25 grand, I would go out and get one. Looks and power in a small package. I did own one, once, and it was a disaster for me. Hellbent on getting one of... Continue Reading →
