Stand and Deliver! 1931 Stutz Pak-Age-Car.
The Stutz Pak-Age-Car was a delivery truck meant to be driven from a standing position. Various sellers, including this one, claim very low remaining units. We know we’ve never seen – nor featured – one. This cool little van has a mid-mounted Hercules four cylinder with a rear radiator. The upside is the whole unit…

Rare American Bantam Boulevard Delivery Microcar
American Bantam was a short-lived Microcar maker, which spun out of the bankrupt American Austin in the mid-to-late 1930s. Despite only about five model years of production, these Austin-based cars existed in several body types. This “Boulevard Delivery” is one of the most interesting and collectible. The seller provides little information, but says the car…

Hideous Gucci GMC Denali
If you find this tasteful, you should buy it. You should be institutionalized. Where to begin?

Odd Couple Two-Fer
Most two-fers offer two like cars, as it’s often a collector of a particular make or model. Today’s, however, includes a 1930 Studebaker and a 1961 Ford Falcon. I’m not sure these have anything in common,except, perhaps inline six cylinder engines (?). Given the two cars, it seems unlikely that just the right enthusiast buyer…

Fiat Topolino with Chevy 350
A Tiny Topolino plus a Chevy V8. Why not? Everything about this car screams Oddimotive, although I must point out that the pictures reveal little. Does it have an interior? Who knows? What’s the frame? Does that matter? Notably, the first picture is a new favorite here, as the seller has blocked the view of…

This Car in this Condition is Hard to Swallow?
This is a rare beast! Most people think of the Jaguar SS 100 as the only pre-war Jag, but there were others. This 1939 1.5L Drop Head Coupe was a somewhat more practical Jag, even with a back seat. the 1.5 liter four cylinder was acquired from Standard, unlike the in-house Jaguar six cylinder in…
