Nowadays it’s extremely difficult to find a period “custom” or “hot rod”. Sure, there are some “famous” custom cars built by master customizers between ’50’s and ‘early ’70’s, but those cars fetch six figures prices so you’ll never have one. Then, there are cars made by obscure builders, sometimes in their garages, and this car… Read More Old skool: 1936 Ford Roadster custom
Like the Bug published on monday, even this ’57 Nomad shows tons of patina. But, differently from that Bug, this car has some rust holes on the roof wich are not so sexy to see. However, the seller says that those holes are the only ones on the car and that they’re less serious than… Read More Finned wagon: 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad
The bigger, the better: this is what’s befittingly to this car. This car features a magnificent streamline design and a color which perfectly matches all those curves. This car is much more cute in this two door version as the tail is perfectly joined with the roof line and then softly slopes towards the rear… Read More Bug on steroids: 1948 Pontiac 8 Streamliner Coupé
It’s not so easy to find a 1949-51 Mercury Coupé which has not gone under hammers, welders and grinders during its life, but sometimes it happens, as for this car. The seller says that this car was his grandfather’s present to him, at that it’s sitting in a barn from many years. Obviously there is… Read More Not chopped: 1950 Mercury Coupé
Really, this is the first time that we see this car. Not only it’s the first time we see one, but we didn’t even know about its existence. Actually this matching number car is one of 1035 made in 1941. We still wonder what the designers had in mind back then: perhaps too many beers?… Read More Never seen before: 1941 Chevrolet Coupé-Pickup
The seller says that this car is the first official Batmobile built, two years before the most famous TV-series Batmobile built by master customizer George Barris. This car was used to be driven around New England “to promote Batman and Robin milk, ice cream and fruit drinks, which were licensed by D.C. Comics”. The body is… Read More Sliding doors: 1964 Batmobile
It’s difficult to put your sight off this car once you see it for the first time. This mild-customized Pontiac GTO features a beautiful light blue/white colour combo and an air ride suspension system. Although with a modern design, the big new wheels fit perfectly inside the arches. Whatever the angle you see this car,… Read More Black plate lowrider: 1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible
Highland Green was the color of the most famous Mustang Fastback of the world: the one driven by Steve McQueen in the 1968 movie “Bullitt”. Actually the movie car was a 1967 390 GT; this one for sale is a 1968 302 but we can say that the result of the restoration is pretty close… Read More Remember Steve: 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
This US-spec. 1974 Pantera L is said to be a real 7,354 miles car. We could even believe the seller although the mint conditions of this car are way too much good for a nearly 40 years old survivor. For sure this car has been “washed” before being auctioned. However, this car is clean and… Read More 7,354 miles: 1974 De Tomaso Pantera L
The 1960 Eldorado Seville was made in 1,075 units and then sold at the price of $7,400. It was made in only 1,075 units and now it’s very difficult to estimate how many survivors are still around. The seller says that this car is in nearly mint conditions and chrome, trims and interiors are perfect.… Read More 1,075 made: 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Seville
