Two recent photos on Vintage Las Vegas not only show Fremont Street at night – not unusual in itself, given how spectacular Glitter Gulch looked once the sun went down – but show it almost exactly 10...
In an alternate universe, Chevrolet’s air-cooled, rear-engine Corvair might have evolved into a world class sports car that remained in production for five decades. In this universe, though, the Ford...
Reader and contributor Don Homuth recently sent us a link to an Oregonian article on old grocery stores in the Portland area, and the three best carspotting images from the article all happen to date...
There were five hand-built Scout prototypes, all completed early in 1960. Each had a prototype number stenciled on the windshields and on the body. Four numbers have been verified in period images, E...
Unlike most of the Hartford photos in the collection supplied to us by Joe Sokola, today’s four come with a date – April of 1968 – and we can fairly easily determine the location as Bushnell Park (mu...
The 1969 Oldsmobile 4-4-2 is a great car to own and drive, yet values have typically trailed the ’69 Chevelle SS 396 and the Pontiac GTO over the years. This can be a good thing if you’re looking for...
Ferrari serial number 0438. Photos courtesy Concorso Italiano. For all their vaunted status and multiple millions they sell for these days, Ferraris were once used cars – yesterday’s news with an eng...
Based entirely on the license plates and the campaign posters for Gabriel Piemonte, we can say with certainty that these two photos which we came across on the Duke University Libraries Digital Colle...
Think back, back to the summer days of 2014, when we first ran a couple Vermont Landscape Change photos from Burlington’s North Avenue, showing an old dealership and a car-choked suburban-ish street....
Article by William Hall. Photos by Rich Heinrich. There are those of us old enough to remember when the classic cars now gracing concours fields and auction stages were simply daily transportation. M...
For 1965, Pontiac’s Grand Prix arrived looking bigger and bolder, with its “venturi” shaped body riding on an expanded 121-inch wheelbase. The standard “premium gas” engine under the GP’s hood was th...
Correct, this 1961 Chrysler New Yorker Town and Country for sale on Hemmings.com is far from stock, though it’s not your typical hot rod. To begin with, the builder selected a blend of Mopar parts fr...
While we’re going through old Charles Cushman pictures, let’s drop this one from April 1968, taken on the corner of North Point Street and Broderick in San Francisco. We don’t see vintage constructio...
RVs and camping were a big deal when the Scout debuted for 1961. RVs were a bandwagon International needed to be on and pursued it on all levels, including the Scout. Slide-in pickup campers were a n...
Take a Mini Moke racing? Sure, why not, especially if it’s got a fiberglass body draped over it like this 1965 Mooncraft Moke Sport for sale on Hemmings.com, which appears to have seen some racing si...
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...
All those parking lot shots we run in this carspotting series with the cars so packed in tight you wonder how they get out the ones in the middle? This photo we came across on the University at Texas...
Don’t know when the roundabout on Brattleboro’s north side – just off the Interstate 91 exit and near the bridge to New Hampshire – was built, but given that this set of photos that we found on Vermo...
Remember that story about Goldilocks and the three bears? The same seems to happen when one is hunting for a project car: Many are over-restored, and hence, too expensive, while an equal number seem ...
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...
Amazing how a series of windows can change the whole character of a vehicle. Take, for instance, this 1962 Ford Falcon E11 Station Bus for sale on Hemmings.com, technically a Falcon and not an Econol...
True, we don’t do a lot of new car dealership photos in the carspotting series – not enough variety to keep the troops entertained – but used car dealerships are fair game, especially when they’re as...
Photos courtesy AACA Museum. Yarr, matey! The deck’s been swabbed, the canvas a-been hoisted, and while others like her now be in Davey Jones’s locker or still at sea, the H.M.S. Truckie sails on, co...
Parade, maybe? Whatever captivated the attention of the folks in the background of this photo, which we found on Ross Dunn’s Flickrstream, it didn’t work so well on the photographer, who managed to t...
Admittedly, we only know for sure that the above photo comes from Scottsdale, specifically Fifth Avenue, and we only know for sure that the below photo dates to the 1960s, but both, which we came acr...
