50′s Cars
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.

Car of the Week: 1955 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible
If a group of curious teenagers had just have 15 measly dollars balled up somewhere in their pockets on that fateful day back in 1976, Harold Carey probably wouldn’t still have his beautiful 1955 Pontiac Star Chief convertible.

Car of the Week: 1953 Olds Ninety-Eight
Tommy Cockrell’s wonderful, eye-candy 1953 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight Holiday Hardtop coupe is a bit like one of those plastic car model kits come to life. Only in Cockrell’s case, the car came in lots of boxes, instead of just one, and somebody forgot to pack the instructions. “When I bought it the car was actually in pieces — all in boxes,” said Cockrell, a resident of Camden, S.C. “It was quite a big puzzle trying to figure everything out."

Car of the Week: 1959 Buick LeSabre Convertible
When Jim DiGregorio gushes about how much he digs his sparkling, and rare, 1959 Buick LeSabre convertible, you know the car must be special. It has some big tracks to follow in DiGregorio’s garage, but a totally original 1959 ragtop with just 32,000 miles and über-rare, three-on-the-tree is certainly something to get worked up about, no matter what else you’ve owned previously.

Car of the Week: 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk
If all the clergymen in the state of Florida ever decided to get together and bring their cars in for a friendly church picnic and car show, Bill Ladroga and his beautiful 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk would have more than a fighting chance to make off with “Best in Show” honors.
