50′s Cars
TIME CAPSULE CAR
Rip Van Winkle Buick Awakens Collector Interest Walter Zemple of Manawa, Wis., was a careful, frugal man who lived in a home without modern utilities. However, Mr. Zemple took exceptionally good care of a 1951 Buick he owned. When he … More
Car of the Week: 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible
John Romppainen grew up during the “Happy Days” era of the 1950s. And there may not be a car anywhere that better represents that golden decade than Romppanien’s lovely 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible.
Cadillac Eldorado Brougham to be offered during Amelia Island
Anybody who regularly visits this blog knows I dig anything with the Cadillac crest, especially when it hovers above the classic “V” as it did on 1930-’60s models. One of the most impressive Cadillacs to come from that period, and … More
1959 Ford tangles with straight-axle Corvette
Here’s an incredible “Wreck of the Week” photo submitted by Old Cars Weekly reader William Swank. It’s so incredible, it doesn’t need a caption to go with it, but it’s every writer’s dream and we won’t let the opportunity pass … More
Car of the Week: 1956 Imperial
Orville Smith tried to get his father to buy the lovely 1956 Imperial car when he first stumbled across it way back in 1976, but the plan didn’t really work out. “Oh, I thought he would buy it!,” said Smith, a resident of Portage, Mich. “Dad loved those old Chryslers. He loved the Imperial, but he didn’t know what to do with it. So I said, “I guess I’ll just buy it, what the heck. So I came paid 1,350 bucks for it, and I’ve had it ever since."
Car of the Week: 1958 Pontiac Chieftain
It really doesn’t take much examination to realize Paul Craddock’s 1958 Pontiac Chieftain is not your ordinary 1950s hobby car. With a paltry 2,549 miles on its odometer, the Starmist Silver sedan is certainly one of the lowest-mileage 1950s Pontiacs in the country, and it may well be the most authentic Chieftain in existence. More
Car of the Week: 1954 Nash Ambassador
Ingvar “Ole” Arneson is a Hudson guy. When you strike up a conversation with the gregarious Wisconsin Rapids., Wis., resident, you don’t have to steer the discussion towards Hudsons. He’ll just take you there regardless. “I’ve owned seven of them in my lifetime,” he says proudly.
So when it comes to hobby cars, Arneson is partial to one flavor, and one flavor only. Until recently April of 2009, that is, when he ran across an amazing, all-original 1954 Nash Ambassador with just 15,000 miles.

Car of the Week: 1950 Oldsmobile Street Rod
Bill Whited is not the type of fellow to come right out and say it, but he’s one of those guys that’s not easy to impress when it comes to cool cars. But Whited is truley smitten by his latest acquisition: a blinding orange, old school 1950 Oldsmobile street rod. More
Car of the Week: 1957 Pontiac Bonneville
Almost 48 years after he bought it, Chuck Richardson is still driving his rare 1957 Pontiac Bonneville — rare because it was one of only 630 built for the model’s first year. And unusual because the cars only came as fuel-injected convertibles.
