Lemon shark: 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Coupé

The 1969 Corvette represents the second year of the C3 generation, retaining the dramatic “shark” body while refining the details introduced in 1968.

Time capsule: 1973 Ford Taunus GXL 2.0 V6 “Knudsen”

The first-generation Ford Taunus TC, commonly known as the “Knudsen Taunus” after Ford executive Semon E. Knudsen, arrived in 1970 and represented a major stylistic break from the previous German Ford range. The GXL sat at the top of the line, combining additional exterior brightwork and a more elaborate interior with the Cologne-built 2.0-litre V6.… Read More Time capsule: 1973 Ford Taunus GXL 2.0 V6 “Knudsen”

1,992 Miles: 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix Aerocoupé

The Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 was created as a homologation special for NASCAR, where the dramatically sloped rear window and extended rear deck were designed to improve aerodynamic performance on high-speed oval tracks. Produced only for the 1986 model year, just 1,225 examples left the factory, making it one of the rarest G-body derivatives and… Read More 1,992 Miles: 1986 Pontiac Grand Prix Aerocoupé

54,713 miles: 1984 Jeep CJ-7

The Jeep CJ-7 is one of the defining civilian off-road vehicles of the late twentieth century. Introduced in 1976, it retained the rugged simplicity of earlier Jeeps while offering improved comfort and practicality for everyday use. By 1984, the CJ-7 was nearing the end of its production run, making well-preserved, unmodified examples increasingly difficult to… Read More 54,713 miles: 1984 Jeep CJ-7

Black sheep: 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo

The Buick Regal and its high-performance Grand National and T-Type variants occupy a unique place in American performance history. Built on General Motors’ rear-wheel-drive G-body platform, these cars arrived at a time when most manufacturers were retreating from horsepower. Buick took a different path, developing the turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 into one of the most effective… Read More Black sheep: 1986 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo

Land yacht: 1978 Oldsmobile Toronado XS

The late Toronado belongs to the phase when American personal luxury cars had moved away from the sharp experimentation of the late 1960s and into something softer, heavier and more formal. That makes the XS interesting, because it was one of the few attempts to give the final-generation Toronado a more distinctive identity. The special… Read More Land yacht: 1978 Oldsmobile Toronado XS

Invest in bronze: 1970 Ford Bronco

The early Bronco sits in that narrow space where a utilitarian 4×4 became, over time, a collector vehicle. In 1970 it was still compact, simple and mechanically straightforward, before later SUVs grew in size and complexity. That does not make every early Bronco equally interesting, though. With these trucks, the real difference is usually in… Read More Invest in bronze: 1970 Ford Bronco

Mint green: 1964 Cadillac Coupé DeVille

The 1964 Cadillac coupe belongs to the period when Cadillac’s design language was still large, ornate and unmistakably American, but already moving away from the most excessive fins of the late 1950s. Cars like this are not rare in the strict production sense, so their interest today depends much more on the individual example than… Read More Mint green: 1964 Cadillac Coupé DeVille

Stored 39 years: 1970 Ford Econoline E-300 SuperVan

The 1970 Econoline sat at the more utilitarian end of Ford’s light-commercial range, but period camper conversions gave it a second life as a compact travel vehicle. What makes vans like this interesting today is not rarity in the usual collector-car sense, but survival: the appeal depends on how much of the original conversion, trim… Read More Stored 39 years: 1970 Ford Econoline E-300 SuperVan

One-off: 1967 Meccanica Maniero 4700 GT by Michelotti

The Meccanica Maniero 4700 GT (chassis MMGT01) is the kind of object that doesn’t sit in the “normal” classic-car market. It isn’t a rare version of a known model—it is a true one-off prototype. The concept began from a practical frustration: an Italian businessman wanted a high-performance GT that was easier to live with day… Read More One-off: 1967 Meccanica Maniero 4700 GT by Michelotti
