  • Rare Doesn’t Always Mean Desireable: 1984 Stutz Victoria

    Rare Doesn’t Always Mean Desireable: 1984 Stutz Victoria

    Stutz was once a proud marque in the US, but its attempted Resurrection in the 1970s did not go well and let’s just say it did not produce the most tasteful of cars.  Supposedly, Elvis Presley bought the very first 1971 Bearcat when the name was revived – that should tell you how subtle and…

  • Pontiac What??  Yes, it’s a Laurentian!

    Pontiac What?? Yes, it’s a Laurentian!

    The Laurentian was Pontiac’s full-size car in Canada for decades and usually based on a large Chevrolet platform, although the sheet metal made it look like US Pontiacs.  Why all the work to create something so similar?  We don’t know.  Presumably, plant capacity played a role. This 1970 Laurentian is essentially an Impala in Pontiac…

  • Mercury Cougar Wagon – Yes, Really!

    Mercury Cougar Wagon – Yes, Really!

    Most people know the Mercury Cougar as a version of the Ford Mustang (1967-1973) or the Ford Thunderbird (1974-1997), although youngsters may only remember the hatchback Cougar, based on the Mondeo platform.

Per…

  • Fulfill Your Land Yacht Fantasies!

    Fulfill Your Land Yacht Fantasies!

    When I look at this car, I hear 70s porn music and picture a pimp walking up to it.  The seller seems to agree, based on this quote: “This is a great Huggy Bear Cruiser.” This is a claimed 42K miles original and the condition supports that claim.  The seller also claims it is one…

  • Live The Country Squire Lifestyle

    Live The Country Squire Lifestyle

    This is a real opportunity for just the right person.  Here we have a delightful 1971 Ford Country Squire wagon with some recent work done, but with is currently not running.  If you’re handy with wrenches, you should be able to get the 400 V8 running fairly easily (?) and then start thinking about cosmetics,…
