Car Spot: 2nd Gen Pontiac Catalina Safari Wagon
A remnant for when station wagons roamed the USA. My wife and I were out last night and experienced what's known as Lake Effect here in Southeastern Wisconsin. 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: 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: 88 Jeep Comanche Eliminator
It might not have been first to the party, but it was the coolest Well, that might just be my opinion because I'm a Jeep guy.

One of the most daring hybrid creations of its era My friends often ask me which I prefer, cars or airplanes.

This week's spot, a 67 Dodge RT Coronet Convertible, is a great example. I found this spot this... Continue Reading →
Car Spot: Early 60s VW Transporter Pickup
A twentieth-century Conestoga wagon In some ways VW of the 60s could be compared to Chrysler of 80s utilizing one platform to create so many vehicles. This week's spot, a VW single cab pickup is a great example of the company's ingenuity. Introduced in the early 50s it was one of the most advanced commercial... Continue Reading →
Car Spot: 2006 Bentley Flying Spur
Two surprises on this trip I bet everybody has a car they lust after but know they will probably never own. For me it's the current C8 Corvette. What I like about it is that at a base price of just under 70 grand, you'd own a supercar. Of course, I'd go big and go... Continue Reading →
Car Spot: 55 Chrysler C-300
The beginning of muscle cars Chrysler touched off what would become the muscle car era with its introduction of the first Chrysler 300 "Letter Car" in 1955. It was also the most powerful production car in the US, firmly establishing Chrysler as the king of performance cars and the subject of this week's spot. I... Continue Reading →
Car Spot: 1983 Renault R5 Turbo 2
A LeCar on steroids I remember back in 1979 when Renault bought into American Motors. It was a great partnership. Renault wanted to get back into the American market and would use AMC's dealers while AMC got instant new product and, more imporatant, cash! From my collection. Have no idea why I hung onto it....
