These early CJs always seem to die as rusted-out farm vehicles, or when they get restored, end up converted into olive drab Army toys or fully modernized rock-crawlers. This ’48 was built up in honest, original style using an aftermarket body. We love the stock stance, roll cage-free profile and tiny tires that nonetheless look [...]

This 1939 Graham Model 97 sedan will stand out anywhere you take it. Blinding Glacier White paint and a unique cut-back grille should ensure that.

It’s pretty easy to find Impalas, Bel Airs, Galaxies, and Fairlanes at car shows and cruise-ins. But Oldsmobile Starfires? Not so much. Today they seem downright rare by comparison, even though 34,839 were sold in 1962. I like this Starfire for its original feel and great condition. It has just over 100,000 original miles and [...]
