Though this 1908 Ford Model T for sale on Hemmings.com may not have been an original stunt parade car from the first half of the 20th Century, it has its own unique history – specifically as a stunt ...
Just up the street from our last look at West Hartford comes this batch of street scenes from the collection that Joe Sokola sent us, showing a stretch of businesses along Farmington Avenue just east...
At what point does a restoration on a car become an “older restoration?” Perhaps that doesn’t depend so much on time passed since the restoration, but on a car’s usage since and maintenance of its re...
Oldsmobile’s 4-4-2 became a separate model on the all-new ’68 edition, rather than an option on the Cutlass. The base Sports Coupe carried a starting MSRP of $3,063, the hardtop Holiday Coupe started...
As it turns out, when Ettore Bugatti went to build the Royale, he bodied the prototype with a Packard touring car body. That prototype no longer survives in that configuration, so – as The Old Motor ...
Returning to the college parking lot photo series that Dean Luchaco sent us, we see just how bad the parking situation was, with not a spot left in this lot and with cars lining the street that conne...
As appealing as full-size vintage wagons may be, their compact siblings are arguably a better choice for a weekend classic car. Big enough to haul the groceries, the dog, and a few passengers, they’r...
My 1966 Corvair Corsa convertible, fresh from the paint shop. The extreme rear camber is caused by the missing engine, and the car barely fit in the trailer. Photos by author. Editor’s note: Last Aug...

Even those of us who thought we knew everything about the only carmaker based on the Isle of Man will have something to glean from this video tribute to Cyril Cannell, whether it’s his story about ho...
Photo by Bri ham. History doesn’t happen in a vacuum (here on Earth, at least) – it’s a sometimes messy affair that involves plenty of people connected to individual events, some of them directly but...
Whatever school’s parking lot we’re seeing in these photos that Dean Luchaco sent us, it sure was popular. There’s hardly a place to wedge another car in here, and students appear to be (respectfully...
Because I am cruel, I’m not bothering to wait until wintertime to run this carspotting photo from the Baltimore Sun ‘s Retro Baltimore Tumblog. According to the caption, it was taken in January of 19...
From the Queensland State Archives on Facebook comes today’s carspotting photo depicting what was then the Pacific Highway in Surfers Paradise. Today, it’s the Gold Coast Highway that runs through th...
For 1966, the Oldsmobile Jetstar 88 boasted a “Fresh new look. Fashionable Interior. Rollicking Rocket action.” We’re not sure that last item was a selling point for suburban families shopping a sens...

We love it when we get carspotting submissions from our readers, and we really love it when our readers send us an entire series of carspotting photos because we can stretch that submission out over ...
We probably should’ve run these closer to this year’s 100th running of the Indy 500, but today’s close enough. From Jim and Chester’s Garage come these two photos of a parking lot at the 1965 Indiana...
Over on our Facebook page, reader Larry Gaddis sent along today’s carspotting photo depicting Sherwood Plaza in Gainesville, Georgia. Larry initially thought perhaps the photo could date to the Seven...

1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT brochure from the author’s collection. Most of us wouldn’t likely equate the Comet Cyclone GT with Russian spies, but it appears that Mercury wanted viewers of this film...
