Car of the Week: 1951 Crosley Hot Shot
Dave Anspach is grinning a lot these days as president of the Crosley Automobile Club, Inc. and the owner of 12 Crosleys himself — including an award-winning 1951 Hot Shot More
Car of the Week: 1970 Plymouth GTX
When introduced, the flashy GTX was the James Bond of the Plymouth line. It had the square-jawed looks of the Belvedere/Satellite line, but was dangerous when confronted, thanks to its standard 440-cid V-8 with 375 hp or its optional 426-cid Hemi with 425 hp. More
Car of the Week: 1963 Corvette coupe
Like untold thousands of red-blooded American males, Micheal Brown was blown away by radically new 1963 Corvettes when they were first unveiled to the public. More
Car of the Week: 1952 Hudson Wasp
Karl Laska’s wonderful 1952 Hudson Wasp looks all-factory from the outside, and it even might appear that way when you look under the hood. But Laska has actually turned the Hudson into a combination Wasp/Hornet, thanks to an engine swap. More
Car of the Week: 1971 Olds 4-4-2
When Tom Eberlin is roaring down the road in his spectacular 1971 Olds 4-4-2 W-30, he’s not worried about too much.. He’s not frozen by any mid-life crisis, concerns about whether he made a wise purchase, or regrets that it took him 20 long years to pull trigger and buy the car he always wanted. More
Car of the Week: 1934 Buick Victoria coupe
Jill Helmke has had her 1934 Buick Victoria coupe for a little more than a year, and so far it is exactly what she was looking for. It’s a car that’s easy for her to handle. It’s fun to take to shows, and it’s got enough room in the back seat for grandkids. More
Car of the Week: 1951 International L-130 truck
A big ol’ truck that rides hard, can’t keep up on the interstate, has room for only two passengers and needs a jumbo-size garage to call home isn’t everybody’s idea of a perfect hobby vehicle. For guys like Fred Kilmer, though, nothing is more worthy of preservation than a humble, loyal, hard-working farm truck. One with dual back wheels, old-fashioned clearance lights, mudflaps that really catch mud, and absolutely no fuzzy dice. More

1959 Rambler Custom sedan
Sigrid Shaw’s persistence and loyalty to her 1959 Rambler Custom sedan have combined to make the car a unique hobby vehicle. Few 1959 Ramblers remain with the car’s combination of a high-end restoration and its unblemished original equipment. The car’s interior looks so good it almost smells new, and almost everything inside is original and unrestored. More
Car of the Week: 1947 Studebaker pickup
Aside from the fact that he really digs it, Terry Frye has plenty of good reasons to never part with his handsome 1947 Studebaker M-5 pickup. Frye toiled for about four years during his spare time to get the truck looking like it does today, and letting it go, even for a profit, would be tough to do. More
Car of the Week: 1958 Buick Special
Getting his 1958 Buick Special on TV certainly wasn’t what Scott Dohnal had in mind when he was putting it back together. He had bigger ideas — like making a car that was loads of fun to own and drive, and very hard to ignore. More
