Plymouth fans looking for inexpensive transportation in 1972 had ample choices in the Valiant lineup, including a pair of two-door Dusters, a four-door sedan and a two-door hardtop sold under the Sca...
Why do we keep showing vintage films from Bonneville? Could be the stark beauty of the salt flats. Could be the famous cars and their drivers, then just amateurs in pursuit of speed. Could be the DIY...
Servicing a Ferrari can sometimes cost as much as an entirely new car. And then there’s their apparent propensity to catch fire. But out of adversity comes opportunity, and Eric Hutchinson embraced t...
This 1973 AMC Matador for sale on Hemmings.com, a four-door sedan ordered by the government to use as an MP car, probably couldn’t be more basic with its bench seat, column-shifted automatic, lack of...
Everybody reading this should know by now that I am constitutionally unable to pass on featuring any shortened vehicle, and this 1974 Volkswagen shorty bus for sale on Hemmings.com is no exception. N...
These days, the concept of a full-size convertible from a domestic big-three automaker is as foreign as building a car with an estimated fuel economy of 8.1 MPG. In the early 1970s, however, five of ...
At about the same time GM was experimenting with turbines in its Firebird series, it also took a look at the free-piston engine and developed a working example for its XP-500 concept car. Mac’s Motor...
To the best of our knowledge, there’s no kit form of old Land Rovers like there is for, say, the Lotus 7. This pieced-together-from-NOS-parts 1973 Land Rover 109 for sale on Hemmings.com, thus, comes...
What do you prefer: a numbers-matching car with low miles and lots of original parts, or a clean restoration that deviates from original for the sake of enhanced performance? If you’re of the latter ...
This year’s Retromobile had a special display of what they called rhomboids – cars with their wheels laid out in a diamond pattern – and Goodwood’s videographer was there to get some footage of the u...
One of the unlikeliest stories we’ve seen on Japanese Nostalgic Car as of late was their look back at that hazily remembered period of time in the late 1970s when Japanese cars suddenly became fair g...
The 924 may be the most unappreciated Porsche of all time, thanks to its humble VW-Audi lineage, its break with the rear-engine, air-cooled faith, and its role as Stuttgart’s entry-level model. And s...

Crazy, right? Mercury’s Wrist-Twist steering couldn’t have ever worked, could it? Except, as we see in this rather sexist Mercury promo video that Mac’s Motor City Garage unearthed showing the steeri...
It’s not perfect, and it’s the opposite of flashy, but this base 1977 Chevrolet Nova four-door sedan for sale on Hemmings.com – equipped with a six-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, bench seat...
There’s some downtown revitalization planning going on here in Bennington lately, which probably doesn’t mean much to 99 percent of you, but nevertheless benefits 100 percent of you via these carspot...
It’s a good bet that many of you started following Jay Leno’s old car exploits after he got involved in the subculture of giant tank/airplane/firetruck-engined roadsters, and he returned to that form...
Whoever it was that recently sent me an archive page dedicated to Esso gas stations in Norway – because we get submissions like that all the time! – thank you. Several of the photos on that page make...
The close of the 1970s wasn’t exactly the high-water mark for performance cars from American manufacturers, yet that didn’t keep automakers from marketing them. In 1979, Chevrolet produced a consumer...
We haven’t traveled to Europe much lately, so let’s fix that with today’s carspotting scene, which we came across over on the Gemeente Amsterdam Stadsarchief and which depicts the intersection of Haa...
Out of the recent spate of stories about the five-year anniversary of the tsunami that hit Japan came this rather special one, highlighted by Japanese Nostalgic Car, about a one-owner unrestored 1971...
A great candidate for a rolling restoration or a driveable dream, this 1972 AMC Javelin SST for sale on Hemmings.com falls somewhere on the spectrum in between gnarly AMX and basic six-cylinder aroun...
There’s a little bit of work left to be done on this 1970 Datsun 510 for sale on Hemmings.com, but that’s nothing compared to the restoration work the seller’s already completed, from floor and rocke...
Like many photos taken for EPA’s Documerica series, this one of South Charleston’s downtown area – specifically Seventh Street, looking east, which we came across on Jim and Chester’s Garage – uses a...
